Aren't the Xbox controllers the only first party controllers that are priced reasonably?

Not after you factor in getting the rechargeable battery like they ought to be shipping with but don't.

Replaceable AA batteries which obviously can be recharged are much better than integrated non replaceable rechargable batteries.

I found them to be the least reasonably priced.

DualSense is $70 and comes with gyro, better rumble, mic, touchpad, adaptive triggers, LED lights and a battery (though non-removable).

~~8bitdo pro 2 is $50 and is a great Nintendo Switch Pro controller alternative – only lacks NFC and HD rumble. Comes with a removable rechargeable battery.~~ oops is third-party.

The Xbox controller at $60 feels nice to hold, but is primitive compared to the above. I like that you can use your own rechargeable batteries, but that is additional cost that you're bearing. The rumble is also from caveman times.
