I'm often close enough to my PC while playing games that wireless seems a little unneeded, but more than that, I just want fewer batteries to manage.

Adjusted title to mention preference for no batteries.

I use a ps4 dual shock. While it's great, i dont like how many games refuse to show PS buttons on screen even though they recognize that's the controller im using.

I'll get an xbox controller next time i need one just because of that annoyance

1,5 years back I ordered a Gamesir T4 Kaleid. It's a Xbox style controller without batteries but with hall effect joysticks, mechanical buttons, gyro, hair trigger (without lock), 2 mappable back buttons and a pretty nice design IMO. Haven't played a ton but easily 300hours + over the time without any issues.

There's a discord community for building your own DIY azeron controller best of both worlds, joystick movements with mouse camera controls.

I think the top tier controllers unfortunately have a rechargable battery in them, some can be hooked up wired and act as so but eventually some day in the future the battery will die from the constant charging and might bloat. If anyone still makes a top tier wired controller it prob wouldnt work with the switch so theyd be losing out on sales for a major console and price the controller higher to make up for it. Essentially wired controllers have become a nieche product. If you find anything wired as good as guilikits controllers though let me know as well since thatd be pretty sick.
