I'm often close enough to my PC while playing games that wireless seems a little unneeded, but more than that, I just want fewer batteries to manage.

Adjusted title to mention preference for no batteries.

If you're on linux, DualSense controllers are awesome. I got mine for ~ $20 from a /r/buildapcsales post.

They’re great on windows too, and the extra features like the triggers are really nice for the games they work in

I've had troubles on my windows machine with the controller not registering in-game. I have to use a third party program DSX to make it work.

For steam games? Steaminput’s translation layer seems to work pretty well

There are some games that it doesn't seem to play nice with that I end up using DSX for myself, also it's nice for non Steam games.

Pacific Drive and Returnal are completely different experienced with a Dualsense versus a normal controller!
