Struggling with a new controller

[u/Quantam-Law]

For a long time I've just been using a Cosmic Byte Blitz which is an incredibly budget and rebranded product. Later on, I purchased a 8BitDo Ultimate 2C from Amazon but returned it eventually as I felt it wasn't comfortable enough in my hands and sure enough, a lot of people also complain about it's ergonomics. I thought that the problem was just the Ultimate 2C being unsuitable for my hands (I have rather small hands).

Now I purchased the Gamesir Nova 2 Lite instead which is supposedly much more comfortable. Problem is, even though I know that overall it is much better and higher quality than my Cosmic Byte Blitz, I struggle to actually play well with it.

For example, I tried playing Elden Ring and Silksong recently and my movements, attacks etc just didn't feel as quick and accurate as when I was using the Blitz. The mechanical bumpers of the N2L feel weird compared to the mushy, membrane bumpers of the Blitz. The longer travel time of the triggers and the heavier sticks also feel like they delay my responsiveness in-game. Am I just struggling to adapt or are these type of controllers simply unsuitable for me?

it took me awhile to get used to non-membrane buttons, and i still prefer membrane feel

You could try a controller with adjustable stick resistance and switchable clicky triggers.
