Recommendations for SNES style controllers supported by retro handhelds (midwest.social)

I have an RG353V currently running ArkOS. Works great, plugged it into my TV and looks great there too. Tried both a USB Xbox controller and PS3 controller and neither seem to be recognized (both of which I know Linux kernel models exist to support). Wanted to pick up a couple of SNES style controllers (kids mostly play Nintendo games) but wasn't sure if anyone could vouch for specific brands or models they know work on these platforms.

Seconding 8bitdo!

I got a zero 2 as a joke and it ended up being super comfortable for such a tiny controller. I ended up getting an sn30 pro plus shortly after my Logitech f710 pads died. After a couple years of speed runs I blew out the contact pads and found out that they're ridiculously easy to replace. They use the same pads as the original SNES! I got a pro 2 and retired the pro plus last year, but it's still totally functioning.
