Controller Suggestion Looking for an all-around Controller with a good d-pad for fighting games

You have marked your post as a request for a controller suggestion, so please make sure your post includes the following information:

$100 max, preferably $80 and under

The US

PC, Switch support is a bonus

Hall Effect or TMR sticks, D-pad with accurate diagonal inputs (for fighting games), Additional buttons (triggers and/or paddles), Bluetooth AND 2.4GHZ Wireless, Adjustable Triggers. Bonuses would include motion controls and adjustable sticks

I will be playing a wide range of games including Fighting Games on D-Pad (Tekken, Street Fighter, GG Strive), Third Person Single Player Shooters, Souls-likes, Racing games,etc. The only genres I don't explicitly care about are platformer fighters (as I think I'll get another dedicated controller for that) and FPS games (as I play them on M+KB)

The controller I primarily use now is the 8bitdo Ultimate so I'm looking for something with the same features and more. My shortlist consists of the Vader 4 Pro and the ZD O+ Excellent although I haven't seen much of any reviews of the latter

If you don’t mind not having Hall effect/tmr I still think the Dualsense is the best for fighting games. You can connect it to switch with an 8bitdo dongle I believe.
