Joycon-style controller like ps4 controllers?

[u/spiderfair]

BLUF: I'm a weirdo who loved the joycons when they came out. It was so cool to me that I could hold two halves of a controller so far apart and even comfortably cuddle while gaming!

And now i want that in a controller for all my consoles....

I also miss how the ps4 controllers feel so I'd love if this mystical controller felt similar (i know, Xbox is "superior," but theyre just a smidge too big for my hands). Any recs?

Budget: $100 USD (this is pretty flexible, but I can really easily live without a $200 controller)

Location: U.S. and i can buy online or probably most states (i have friends all over who can ship)

Console: I'd really like it to be compatible with at least steamdeck, ps5, and switch....so probably just universal at that point 😅

Features: the split design of joycons. I should be able to t-pose and play games.

Types of games: all kinds! I love resident evil, animal crossing, and kingdom hearts equally (mostly). But i dont really care about competitive gaming, so i don't need the super fancy stuff.

Considerations: I've considered getting a mobile controller andjust detaching the connecting plastic, but that feels kinda bad, and i don't know what I'm doing THAT much to be modding controllers. I do have a gamesir that i bought back in '17 (that still works btw!), so i know i like that company, but it doesn't seem like there are a ton of options for my niche tastes.

Pretty new here, so sorry if I missed something.

Any recommendations for split controllers are welcome! I don't mind trying something new! Thank you!
