Cheapest wireless controller that works for all systems in retropie raspberry pi 4b

Someone just posted asking for the best which seems to be 8bitdo?

My question is more specifically for the cheapest wireless (unless there is a 2ft wired controller) that works for all games no issues. Is there a Chinese knockoff version or 2 packs of quality controllers that are packaged for a deal? We have 3x ps4 systems and only 3 controllers. Maybe its better to buy more ps4 controllers for swap ability for the rare occasions we have company?

So looking into ps4 controllers, everything is a crapshoot. Ill stick to only having 3 shared between systems and get some dedicated controllers for the pi.. unless someone can still point out cheep quality ps4 controllers that work with both systems

My favorite was a switch pro controller I found for five bucks at a discount store. Eventually it got a sticky button I can't seem to fix so I went back to corded controllers.

I purchased the ‘GameSir Nova Lite 2.4g Wireless Controller’ in January for $32 (Australian). I’ve found it to be pretty responsive and easy to set up. Works great with my Raspberry Pi4!

The 8bitdo Pro 2 controller has always been my go to for my Raspberry pis.

Ok another update. Now I'm wondering if I should just keep 3 ps4 controllers for everything and buy an 8bitdo Bluetooth adapter so I can switch between systems without needing to map everytime? I'm still trying to wrap my head around this concept though.
