I'm looking for recommendations on PC controllers, specifically ones that have an Xbox-style layout. I've been using the Elite Series 2, but I'm facing stick drift issues for the second time, and I can't justify spending another $150 on it. I enjoy features like adjustable thumbstick tension and short trigger pulls. What options do I have that don't have known stick drift problems?

Check out the Gamesir Cyclone G2. It has a shape that's quite similar to Xbox controllers and could work for you.
The Flydigi Vader 4 Pro has everything you’re after: Xbox layout, 2.4GHz connection for PC, adjustable stick tension, and it helps reduce drift thanks to the Hall effect. Just a heads up, it might only be available on Aliexpress. I have the Vader 3 and I love it!
The 8Bitdo Ultimate is a solid choice! Many users are really satisfied with its performance. It’s popular for good reason.
You might want to consider anything that uses Hall effect sticks. They’re designed to reduce or completely eliminate drift issues, which could be what you're looking for!
I found it on Amazon in the US for around $68 with a coupon—sounds like a steal!
