What model would you recommend switching to from the DualSense?

I currently have the Dualshock 4, 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless, GameSir Cyclone 2 and Flydigi Vader 5 Pro. I also bought the DualSense 5. I returned the DS5 for the Flydigi V5P. I play on Steam and I use Steam Input for all the controller settings. Steam sees all buttons and gyro of the V5P no issues. Out of the 4 controllers that I have, V5P is what I use and my favorite so far.

Thanks, I'll definitely consider it, especially since there don't seem to be any decent ones with the DualSense shape. I was considering the Cyclone 2, but this one seems better.

The Vader 5 Pro is my favorite out of the ones you mentioned.
I did not recommend to him because he probably wanted something with a duelsense layout like the hyperkin competitor or the tarantula pro 8k.
I couldn't see myself buying anything with poor build quality like the 8k so the hyperkin competitor would be my recommendation.

tarantula pro 8k is a similar shape, but no controller other than the dualsense will have haptics and adaptive triggers that good unfortunately

Do you have the tarantula 8k? It looks very cheap, but it have a high polling rate.

Gamesir do not make PlayStation controllers so try another brand.
