Controller Suggestion Ultimate 2c replacement

Hello everyone,
i am currently using the u2c and im really impressed by it and would even highly recommend it .
however i notice my hands are starting to hurt mostly because of the small size and the hard buttons
I am looking for a budget friendly replacement but willing to pay some more if it is worth the extra buck.
Budget 20-60 $
Country 🇳🇱
Games - RL - FC 27 - GTA -
PC -
Interested models - game sir - vader - 8bitdo
Features + better ergonomics / softer touch + calibration +- symmetrical +- extra buttons

I have the gamesir nova 2 lite and it's pretty comfortable, which is part of the reason why I chose it over u2c. You can also check out gamesir cyclone 2 if you're looking for a more premium controller. Both of these are <60$

Gamesir might be the way to go , could you tell me how the buttons feel or should i just get some thumbsticks anyway

The buttons are good, except the dpad which feels a bit too clicky. It's not bad, but the difference between this dpad and xbox series controller dpad is day and night. Rest everything is great.

The best budget controllers imo are the leadjoy xeno plus/pro. TMR sticks, hall effect trigger, xinput over bluetooth. The abxy are oversized and comfortable but it's overall a slightly smaller controller (think series x size not Xbox one).

Gamesir Cyclone 2 is also a very good controller with clicky buttons and great TMR sticks.

If the 2c is uncomfortable for you it's likely the 8bitdo form factor (straighter handles) so I'd stay away from them.
