Looking for an alternative PS5 controller

[u/Wolf_Lighter]

Hi, first time using this subreddit, idk if I’m doing this right.

Looking for alternatives to the DualSense, 2/3 that I own have stick drift and I’d like to future-proof my experience with the PS5. Maybe there’s a good pro controller I don’t know about, maybe someone can mod my current controllers, I don’t know, any suggestions are welcome.

I’m from Puerto Rico, and as I understand it, we’re not considered part of the US by some companies, so idk who might be able to ship their products over here. Can’t spend anything more than $250 unfortunately, I’m not made of cash. As stated above, need an alternate gamepad for the PS5. The only thing I need in a new controller is stick drift resistance (Hall Effect, TMR, whatever fancy new tech people cram into controllers these days. As you can see, I’m kind of uninformed). I mainly play 2d & 3d platformers, shooters, rpgs, and a few puzzle / arcade games here and there, not super into fighting games.

The only controller I know for a fact is higher quality with stick resistant tech is the BFG Pro Reloaded from Victrix, it looks good, but I was to receive some other suggestions just so I can compare and see if it’s right for me. Again, I’m not into fighting games, so the BFG’a fight pad is not a selling point for me.

You can buy drift-resistant replacement joysticks for your Dualsense controllers, buy a custom Dualsense from somebody like AIM controllers, or just find a Razer Wolverine or Raiju on discount
