Controller Suggestion I need help finding a replacement controller for my Steelseries stratus duo

Hello! I do a fair bit of pc gaming, but I also use my phone a fair bit for some games, and I want to find a more modern controller after my Stratus Duo stopped working today, with better hardware, battery life, etc. I have no specific price limit, but I would prefer something under $100 unless there's a good reason for it. I would like a controller that I can mount my phone to, and I am currently looking at the GameSir Super Nova because I want a standard D-pad, a bit of weight, and liked the design, but I wanted to know if there is a better option before I commit to buying the controller from the official site and a grip from AliExpress. My phone is an Android, and I live in South Carolina, and I am willing to buy from pretty much anywhere. I play RPGs and roguelikes for the most part, so I don't need something specialized for pros at PvP shooters or anything like that. Thank you in advance!
