8BitDo Ultimate 2 vs EasySMX X20... or something better? (€70 Budget)

Budget: €70 max

Country: Italy

Platform: PC (Steam) + Nintendo Switch (occasionally)

Desired Features:

Asymmetrical sticks

Minimal/clean design

Back buttons

Hall Effect/TMR sticks (preferred)

Nice to Have:

2.4GHz wireless connection

Convex right thumbstick

Nintendo Switch compatibility

Games I'll be playing:

Mostly Rematch, FPS games, and single-player titles. I don't play fighting games.

Past controller experience:

I've mainly used the Nacon Revolution Pro 2 and the standard Xbox Wireless Controller.

I liked the Xbox layout, but I've always preferred using a taller right thumbstick for aiming. I also feel that the stock Xbox sticks have too much tension and feel a bit "heavy" compared to what I'm used to.

Controllers I've considered:

8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless

EasySMX X20

These are currently my favorite options, but I'm open to other recommendations if there's something that better fits my needs.

Additional Notes:

I'm looking for the best overall controller under €70 that offers good build quality, reliable wireless performance, and low latency on PC. Switch support is a nice bonus but not mandatory.

Amazon would be my preferred place to buy from, but I'm open to any retailer that ships to Italy.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations!
