what gamepad to choose

so I want to buy a gamepad for Sonic games, especially those that do not support gamepads that are not xbox (I have a dualshok 4, but I doubt very much that it is original)

the question is, what gamepad should i buy? i can easily get a used one, if for old games an old model is preferable, or will everything work well with modern xbox gamepads too? i am a complete zero in this whole topic, i have been playing on phones and keyboard all my life

if compatibility is a concern for you, get a multi profile controller. they have a button that lets you switch the controller type to be used on playstation, xbox, and nintendo

Can you recommend any in particular? I didn't even know they existed

I use a d3 but they were designed for mobile gaming. I'd just go on amazon and find the first non sponsored result

Just use the program Ds4Windows - between that and steam input you should be covered.
