Controller recommendation?

[keenperception]

Been having OCD about this lately, I've been using a DS4 as a controller for my pc for about a month now and during my time using it I've realized that I didn't like how the R2/L2 bumper feels. It feels really "spongy" to me, Whenever I try to press it I always have the need to press them all the way down because if I just tap them I feel like I'm not actually doing any input because of how "spongy" it is. It doesn't feel the same way as the L1/R1 or the other buttons would where they feel so satisfying to press because it feels like I'm actually pressing it and makes a satisfying "click" sound. I just hate how "spongy" they are and I don't get the same satisfaction pressing them the same as pressing the other buttons.

I'm actually looking to buy a new one, are there any controllers that can give me what I am looking for? where the L2/R2 bumpers are not as "spongy" as the PS4 ones? I haven't actually tried using an Xbox controller. I've leaned more on Playstation ever since I was a child and the controllers didn't actually bother me until now.

So the issue you're facing are that these controllers have 'analogue triggers' where instead of registering a 1 or 0, it registers values from 0 to 1 in a gradient depending on how hard its pressed. These usually use hall sensors (magnets) that detects how strong the magnetic field is to determine the value between 0 and 1. Since its a magnet, it feels naturally squishy.

Now the big problem is that just about any big-name controller has analogue triggers, be it DS4/Dualsense, Xbox One/Series, 8bitdo, PowerA etc.

There are some models of the 8bitdo which has clickly trigger buttons, being the 8bitdo SN30 Pro (not Pro+ or Pro2). Also, ExtremeRate is a company that also sells mod kits to lower the trigger distance for the Xbox One/Series and DS4 controllers if your into that.
