Hal Effect sticks are a must. I’m looking for a controller because my PS4 controller has some pretty horrible stick drift. I don’t want a repeat of that.

PlayStation layout is also a must. Never understood the appeal of the wonky xbox layout.

Must also ship to Europe. Preferably a company from Europe. But outside of Europe also works if shipping and customs don’t add twice the controller’s cost to the price.

I’m asking this in Linux Gaming, so obviously must work with Linux (though so far I’ve had less issues getting controllers to work on my Linux desktop than I’ve had with Windows).

    Do you know where to get drop-in replacement Hall effect sticks for a DualShock 4 or DualSense? (Maybe they’re easy to find now; I haven’t looked in a while.) I have a soldering iron and would probably buy a set.

    Edit:

    I just learned that TMR (tunneling magnetoresistance) sticks now exist, and are easier to retrofit in Sony controllers, apparently because they use less power and therefore don’t need an additional circuit board. Thanks for renewing my interest.
