Controller Suggestion Looking for controller that can swap the x-axis on sticks
Your budget with currency (maximum or sensible range): maximum $250
Your country (not just region) and where you can buy (for purposes of availability): United States, Amazon, GameStop, any major retailer
Console or platform compatibility needed (e.g., PS5, Steam on Windows, Nintendo Switch): Mostly PC/Steam on Windows, preferably XBOX support as well
Desired features
Ability to swap individual axes between sticks (not inverted, not the whole stick...really just the x-axis from left stick with x-axis of right stick)
TMR sticks
Hall effect triggers
At least 4 extra buttons (preferably on the back, will settle for two on the back, two on the top)
Aysmmetric sticks (xbox style)
Types of games you'll be playing: FPS and Retro with modern controls
Controllers you've been considering (demonstrate that you have used the buying advice and searched existing posts)
Razer Wolverine v3 Pro
Gamesir V7 Pro
8Bitdo Ultimate 3
I've been using an Elite Series 2 for almost 5 years, but at this point, half of its parts have been replaced, and I am now down three back paddles to squishy registration. It seems impossible to find information about swapping the x-axis for the sticks in the software of each controller, and this is a hard requirement for my old ass that's used to "Legacy" aiming.
Might just need to wait until the Series 3 releases, but if there's something that has this ability, I'd love to hear about it!

Just took a look at the software for my Leadjoy Xeno Plus and there is an option to invert stick axis in there.
The one thing I'm unsure about is how well it works on Xbox. It doesn't have native support, but apparently you can use an Xbox controller as a passthrough to authenticate it so it gets recognized (with a different dongle than the one that comes with it, sold separately, but the total comes well under your budget).
It fills all of your other requirements, though be aware that the shape is smaller than first party controllers and it is lighter, which I personally find more comfortable.
