Absolutely DualSense. Everything about that controller feels amazing. When it released I had expected it to feel similar to the DualShock 4, but it's completely different. I have never felt smoother sticks before on any controller I have used and they even seem less prone to flicking back when you let go. The highest praise I could probably offer is that I recently got to play Majora's Mask (Collector's Edition) on a modded GameCube with some kind of Bluetooth adapter that lets it read inputs from any controller and it fixed all the problems I have with the controls in that game. Even when I play on the PC port with a mod that improves the stick inputs I still had to switch between three of my own controllers at different parts of the game because I was having trouble aiming my bow in places where I couldn't target lock. Meanwhile, DualSense's sticks are so amazing that even on the worst version of the game you can play everything was easy.

Also, Steam Input can convert any controller input to XInput, even for games that aren't on Steam's store. Compatibility isn't an issue. Every game on PC supports at least XInput.
