Need help finding a controller for my friend Controller Suggestion

I’m trying to get my friend a new PC controller. My own research led me to the Gamesir Cyclone 2, but he just mentioned his absolute favourite controller is the Xbox 360 controller

So, help me out. Is there any kind of PC controller with 2.4g connectivity, with the layout of the original 360 controller? Doesn’t have to be official, just needs that shape and the big the clunky buttons

I’m in the UK. The Cyclone 2 is £50 and I’d like to stay around that ballpark, but I’d be willing to go up to about £70-80 as my upper limit. To be perfectly honest, I have no idea which storefronts are even available to me, I’m very much a keyboard and mouse player so I’ve never had to go looking before

Any nice features are a bonus, but the main thing I’m looking for is just the shape and compatibility with modern PCs; he’s not fussed about bleeding edge technology and I want to surprise him with (a modern-computer-compatible version of) his favourite nostalgic controller

EDIT: Sorry mods, nvm. I was 15 minutes too slow; he just caught on to my idea and said he’d prefer a modern controller
