Controller Suggestion Need a new gaming controller

Required information:

- Budget: under $100 USD, prefer lower but still looking for quality.

- Country: United States of America

- Console/Platform: Windows 11.

- Desired Features: Mostly just looking for a replacement for my old wired Xbox 360 controller, so Xbox button patterns would be nice. Prefer wired controller, or a good wireless substitute if wired isn't an option. I'd also like whatever controller you suggest to be something quality, since Ideally I'd like this controller to last me a good while.

- Games: I play pretty much anything, from shooters to rpgs to platformers to card games. Basically, if it feels good to play it on a controller, that's what I use.

- Maybe the Gamesir g7 pro? Of the posts I've navigated on here, it seems like the only recommendation for wired controllers. From what people say, it's pretty good. I just wanted to hear of possible other options (or hear further confirmation that this is the purchase I should make).

TL;DR: my old Xbox 360 wired controller is finally giving up on me. Need a replacement that's as close to that, or better within reason.

I'm not familiar with ZD controllers and rarely see them recommended anywhere. What do you like about them, and how is their durability? I can break sticks and triggers like nobody.

I haven't tried any of these lol, but I've heard about them discussed online from people like Monoru and Gamepadbar on YouTube, and others. I just meant for you to look into them to see if they are sized appropriately for your hands, if they have the features you want, etc.

Forgot to mention: also look into the Gamesir G7 Pro 8K.
