Hyperkin Xenon Wired Controller for XBOX Series X|S, XBOX One & Windows 10|11, PC, Plug and Play Gaming Gamepad with 3.5MM Audio Jack, Impulse Triggers - Black - Officially Licensed

Ordered this as an early birthday present for myself on Cyber Monday 2025, since my birthday is literally right around the corner from BF/CM. I must say, I am absolutely in love with the controller. It feels as natural as an official wired 360 pad from back when I used to play the 360. While I wish they kept the "ringed quadrants" around the Xbox "X" in the center, the way they implemented the status light feels unobtrusive and I don't feel distracted by it. I also kind of wish they had went with the Hall-Effect sticks like they did with the DutchesS, for longer-term support... Because I feel like when I FINALLY DO get stick drift on the controller, scalpers will have scalped or these will be so hard to find that it'd be better to buy an official refurbished 360 controller with a wireless adapter on eBay. Functionality on Linux works as it should. While in my distro, it shows up as a "Generic X-Box gamepad (sic)", the DutchesS shows up exactly as it should. So Linux compatibility isn't the BEST out of box, but it does the job and both Steam and all my games work just fine with it. :) I can't say I've encountered stick drift like others have, but I won't say I will never encounter it either. Thankfully, I got it for pretty cheap on Cyber Monday (~$30USD). So that takes some of the sting off if I develop it early enough. It's definitely taken some heavy usage since I got it (my fiance's constant addiction to MK and me with both Guitar Hero games and tons of shooters and whatnot), as well as a few drops on the hardwood flooring here and there, and has held up just fine for me. Overall, it's a great addition to my DutchesS controller. Still might use the DutchesS more due to the Hall Effect sticks... But it's an amazing remake of the 360 controller and I love it! I just hope they make a revision sometime to iron out some of the kinks with it that folks seem to be having. :D

Great product! Has the classice 360 feel and look down to a T... well, 98% of the way. My only two takeaways for this controller are: its not wireless, this isnt a deal killer for me, but might be for you. Luckily the cord is pretty long, and is usb to usbc (so you could get a longer one). The other take away is mer of a personal nit pick, but its the weight. It's quite light. Personally I like a little heft to my controller, but again its far from a deal breaker. At this price, I couldn't not recommend it. It's a great little throw back with modern upgrades (hall effect sticks). Absolutely worth the money.

It feels just like a 360 controller. There are some differences, the sticks feel higher up and a bit less resistant however I actually prefer it this way. It’s a bit pricey for a wired controller, but it’s reliable and nostalgic. It does exactly what it needs to and more

oh lord take me back to the days when games were well made. right so this controller shame its not wireless but it works and takes me back to the days of the 360 i missed its perfection cept for it having issues with one game RE4 (2005) let the letter represent the deadzones it doesnt work in (X) it seems it stops leon dead the minute i make it go northeast or even northwest and the aiming in those areas even southeast and southwest are slow and to a dang crawl man. i thought i was losing my mind but i tried Warframe and Resident evil 1 remake (2015 remaster) and that issue never happened on those. now i did see a one star review about the dpad and the A button failing looked everywhere for what that guy was on about but never found it heck even scoured reddit and 4chan and so far nothing. i think hombre got sold a defective one off the lot (there's always a chance) but regardless its a good controller if your looking to go back to the old ways for a fraction of the price of an official series x/s controller. if we have someone from hyperkin who worked on it seeing and reading this maybe make a software that can update the controller and eliminate the irritation with RE4 2005 im adapting to using dpad to move due to this and like muscle memory i keep going to left stick....i know RE4 2005 might not be the only game with this issue but for what its worth its better than PDP or friggen power A controllers ill tell you that much. the boys in R&D in hyperkin this is for you. you lot are not paid enough if we have a higher up reading this give those men a raise sonny jim they earned it and may have made a customer out of me for a good while.

it's got the same feel as a proper 360 controller, even down to the dpad... for better or worse

It's a really nice controller and works well with my Xbox Series X. But because it's a USB C plug and not a direct wire, it will eventually give up and stop working. And the controller doesnt work without the wire. I knew it was going to happen bc that's what's gonna happens in general when dealing with wires like these. It's worth the purchase if you really love the 360 controller design. Which I do very much but now it's like money down the drain because you'll either need to buy another controller or a new wire and hope it's saved your current purchase. And what's sucks is that I can't find another controller of the same 360 layout for a cheaper price that works with my Xbox Series X. Pleaseeee make these controllers strictly wired!! Because it does not work wireless and the constant movement of the wire will and is damaging the port.

This controller was very well put together in terms of trying to replicate the look and feel of the original 360 controller. Overall the casing feels very close to the original and the buttons do as well. It is also very light as this is just a wired controller, so no weight from double A batteries which I like. The bumpers and face buttons are a bit more loud and thumpy, but still done well and I personally enjoy the thumpiness of it. However some things worth noting: The original 360 controller had a different stick curve where pushing the stick by small amounts had more resistance. This replica mimics more of the modern controller from Xbox where it does not have the change of resistance and is more of a linear curve, unlike the original. However this is not a bad thing. A lot of games now also have response curve settings (FPS wise at least) to help change how the curve reacts along with your stick sensitivity. For older titles from this generation or even current ones it overall feels great. Hyperkin did a great job of providing a close feel to the 360 controller while giving some feature sets from modern controllers that I think balance nicely. Only thing I think they should consider changing (if I were to be ABSOLUTELY nit picky) is change the menu, share, and view button colors on the controllers besides the black model to match with the scheme a little better. I also think they should come out with a wireless version for those who would prefer that. Overall for those who are interested in the older 360 design or loved the design back during that generation of console gaming but wish for it to be modernized with current features, this is an excellent choice and I’d personally recommend it and may purchase another in the future for myself.

Perfect, I do with it was a little More heavy but still very good product

Un buen mando por cable, para el PC, con la ergonomía típica de los mandos de la Xbox

MErveilleuse Manette ... un virtuose un genie !!!!!! j en acheterais encore une fidele au modele originale que dire ? FANTASTIQUE et qui plus est un rapport qualité prix !!

Pour les vrais amoureux de la manette d’Xbox 360, par pitié, n’achetez pas ça. Je l’ai renvoyée tellement elle faisait cheap, elle n’est pas aussi belle en vrai, elle est trop légère, un tout petit peu plus petite et mince que la manette officielle. Je n’ai pas retrouvé les mêmes sensations que sur la 360, le fait qu’elle soit filaire ne me dérange pas, mais pour un PC c’est plus confortable que sur console de salon, car le fil n’était pas assez long. Très déçue car je l’a voulais vraiment.

O controle veio com defeito de fábrica com os dois analógicos quebrados! Sim, quebrados! Nunca vi isso em nenhum controle, bizarro. As hastes dos analógicos que seguram os sticks estavam quebradas mesmo. A Hyperkin não tem controle de qualidade?

Fan de la première heure avec ces milliers d’heures de jeux sur ma 360 ,il faut que vous la possédiez , en la prenant en main vous aurez un tas de souvenir liée à la console ou aux jeux , moi c’était Gears et halo 3 Bonne qualité Dommage il n’y a pas de version « sans fil »
