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

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

This is an exceptionally authentic recreation of the Xbox 360 controller in all the best ways, and in the ways they differ, I think it's better. The thumbsticks have just the tiniest bit of more travel which means better precision, but not in such a drastic fashion as to feel different than the original Xbox 360 controller. Some reviewers mention that the thumbsticks offer a hard plastic, but I don't feel that sensation; the rubberized tops on the controller aren't authentic, but they're still grippy in a good way; it's certainly not like they just molded a PLA plastic into a thumbstick and called it a day like how some descriptions make it out to be. The D-Pad is still its old, beautiful, gross and squishy self, where you can press all four buttons at the exact same time if you press down on the center, but I kinda like it that way. The detachable USB C to USB A cable has a rubberized coating, but it feels thick enough as to withstand some beating. The best part about this design is that if it fails, you can buy a new cable instead of a whole new controller! It has no battery; it is exclusively wired. The vibration feels like it has a slower RPM with a higher power than an original Xbox 360 controller, but I play with that off. This helps me fly so much better in Wardogs!

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.

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 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.

For most of my life I've played on console, however as an adult I've moved more towards PC gaming and even though I main M&K there are still games that having a controller is best for. The Xbox 360 controller in my opinion is the greatest controller to ever come from a console, and having a version that is essentially 1 to 1 identical that I can use nowadays is amazing!

Brought this for my Xbox, play it with it mostly all the time, and it still works no problems with it. Good Quality as well.

I *really* wanted to like this controller. But it is not up to snuff. (A quick disclaimer: I do not beat my controllers up or pound buttons or the likes.) I had seen the reports that the D-pad was unreliable. Other people have said the controller is perfect and they love it. That doesn't tell you whether or not they're using the D-pad, or what for. There are still other comments, if you hunt around the web, that the D-pad works but is not suitable for games where precision and timing are required. This has been my experience. I use the controller to play Hollow Knight on Steam - that's a Metroidvania style platformer, if you're unfamiliar with it. Long story short, the majority of the times when I get killed or damaged, it is the direct fault of this controller. The D-pad left input is unreliable. Sure, it works every time when nothing is happening in the game and I just test it. Whether "rolling" the pad from, say, up over to left, or just inputting left, it'll work on a basic test. But in actual gameplay, it fails frequently enough to just stop my character from moving to the side at critical moments - and the game is all about critical moments. The final straw for me was when after about 10-12 hours of normal usage, the A button has begun to fail; my double-jump sequence is now failing quite frequently. A fifty-dollar controller should not have an issue like that after barely a dozen hours. My ~$18 Voyee third-party controllers are cheaply made and hold up after hundreds of hours of use. It's a shame, because what works on this controller is nice. Many people do not like wired controllers and that's their prerogative; wired is always more reliably more responsive than bluetooth, and that's important for the games I use it for. The feel and mass of the controller is great. It is more responsive than the Voyee; I got through the whole game on the Voyee but now going back to it after using the Xenon, I can perceive how slow that controller is, and how the inputs do not seem to last as long; you have to press the button *hard* to make the jump go as high as a normal tap on the Xenon does. But the Xenon is just not up to standard in all of the ways it needs to be. It could maybe be fine for some games, or if I only used the D-pad for a menu selection, and if the A button failure is a fluke which a replacement Xenon could remedy. But I am loathe to try another Xenon after combining my D-pad experience with the reports I've seen around the web of the same thing. I'll try to find another controller which I enjoy and whose reliability matches its price. Disappointed.

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 »
