Get some arcade game buttons and build your own controller. Those buttons are tough, so you should have a much harder time breaking them. You can hook it all up to an Arduino Pro Micro and program it to appear as a USB HID device. There are also dedicated arcade game input boards if you don’t want to program anything.

Agreed, the DIY arcade stick / fighting game controllers community has the most robust hardware and its not expensive, either!
I’ve bought about a half dozen of those dedicated boards. Very nice to be able to trivially attach switches & buttons to the computer.
