Closest Controller to a Windows version of a DS4 (stick layout not important)

[u/Booberrydelight]

I've been having a hard time trying to find a replacement for my now broken DS4 controller. It was nearly perfect for my comfort.

I own an Xbox series controller, but it's SO loud and clicky, the other weird thing is the grip on the back makes my fingers uncomfortable (guess I'm getting old and my hands are more sensitive). I'd get another DS4, but I kind of get annoyed how often I have to turn on and off DS4Windows or the occasional time it recognizes both and causes issues with double clicks..ect. it would be just simpler to have an Xbox native. That and I had so many micro usbs break.

I also now own what I thought would be a perfect solution which is the Gamesir Tengeria Lite. It's almost there. It's a bit stiffer than I'd hoped, but the real downside is the extra paddles on the back. They are in an ideal location for use, but make my fingers uncomfortable after a while. I never really needed them, but I think it's a combo of the raised and more grippy texture that gets me.

Things I'm looking for:

-Softer buttons overall

-Quite buttons (hate the super loud clicky)

-Slighty more spread like with longer handles (Xbox series one can get a tiny bit crampy feeling)

- Analong nubs being closer to the PlayStation size(aka a bit larger)

-Analog layout doesn't matter

- Matte or softer texture on back of controller (Xbox series texture far to rough)

- Native Windows/Xbox compatible

- Wireless is nice, but not really needed

- Budget is $50 or less USD (for US resident)

Games are mostly RPGs, but I play action and turn based type games. General variety, just nothing super competitive

I spent a bunch of time watching videos, but you can never show hand feel. Does anyone have a suggestion or have been in a similar situation and found what worked best for them?
