Oh and if you have a recommendation of what I'm looking for then please point me yonder
There are ... a lot of controls that fit your description. Study basic card magic is my recommendation.
I like the Doppleganger control. It's fairly easy (Just slightly knacky) and looks natural when done smoothly.
I disagree that the pass is a better control, though. The pass was a move that was invented during a time when cards were just pieces of paper. It was the way to control cards because it was the only way to control cards, for the most part. They didn't slide around like they do now so doing swivel steals and such was pretty much impossible. At this point, though, using the pass to control a single card is kind of the sledgehammer approach. There are much easier and more natural ways to control a card.
The simplest of which I would say is just put the card where you want it and seem like you're not doing that.
But since you folks seem to love lists so much... Natural ways to control a card:
PPP, Cherry Control, Cascade Control, Squeeze Shift, second deal control, side steal, overhand shuffle control, Praxis Control, Marlow Tilt ... That's all I can think of without opening a book or checking my videos.
Most controls will seem natural if you put the effort into making them seem natural.
