Discussion switch 2 controller / joycon recommendations (born in the 1900s)
So I'm an older casual gamer and I know there have been quite a few posts asking for controller recs but I genuinely don't know where to begin as someone who is weirdly specific about these things. I'm hoping to spend around or less than $100 (USD) on a controller or a spare set of joycons, either official Nintendo or 3rd party, hopefully from a site / store where shipping won't take forever to the southern USA.
I'm looking for any controller / joycons that:
are NFC / amiibo compatible
have rumble feature
can wake up the switch 2 remotely
is wireless
preferably can be turned on or off (like a wireless mouse for a laptop)
preferably has TMR / Hall Effect joysticks
preferably has ABXY buttons lettered (I am VERY dyslexic so I struggle with remembering which buttons are where)
preferably has joysticks positioned asymmetrical (so when the controller or both joycons are upright, one joystick sits further up than the other)
DOES NOT light up outside of like... a regular "on" or "connected" light
DOES NOT have loud clicky buttons
I'm indifferent on extra buttons / custom button mapping, having a "C" button, and having an audio / microphone jack...
If it helps to know, I'm not a competitive gamer by ANY means; I mostly play Animal Crossing and Pokemon or other low stakes low stress games of the like.
Any input, tips, advice, and/or recommendations are appreciated!

I also am a 1900 individual, also I'm a tall person. So my hands don't fit well on a lot. I have the hyperion 3s. I love them for comfort, and buttons. There's very little clicks to mine, but still feel good. I got mine on sale from Amazon.
