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).

This may not be all that helpful, but if your willing to learn (and possibly fry your controller) you may have a makerspace near where you live. If so, they would most likely have a soldering setup that you could use for a small fee.

Or heck, my local Library has a tool checkout system. Check with your local library (the bigger the better) as there's a non-zero chance that they could loan you one.
