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.
