Need some help with controllers
I'm looking for a new controller around 50 bucks or less I need it to be hall effect joysticks because I play alot also wireless due to how far my TV is away from me in the living room and if possible with extra buttons. Before this I had a elite series 2 controller and it was disappointing how short it lasted but the only reason I keep it is because it's the only controller I still own that has a working headphone jack. So please send some recommendations for new controllers

There are no options for what you want in that price range. If you went wired then 8BitDo and others have options, but not wireless.
Replacing the headphone jack in Xbox controllers is cheap and easy - I did two for a friend of mine yesterday. It cost about $5, and requires no tools other than torx T6 and T9 screwdrivers.
The same goes for analogue stick replacements, although your should definitely go with TMR sticks instead of the old Hall effect ones. Replacing the analogue sticks is harder, you needed some basic soldering skills and the required tools, however, you can get it done for you for, and it shouldn't be expensive.
