Hyperkin’s Xbox 360 controller reissue now has a worth and launch date

Good information for nostalgic millennial avid gamers: Hyperkin’s remake of the Xbox 360 controller is inching nearer to launch. The Xenon controller was first introduced by Hyperkin again in November, however not a lot stable information was given outdoors of some renders and the essential data that this reissue might be a USB-C wired-only reprisal for Xbox Series X / S and PC.

Now, Hyperkin says the Xenon controller is about for launch on June sixth, with preorders on its retailer starting May fifth. If you may have sufficient love for the outdated Xbox 360 controller that you simply need to personal a reissue, which eschews wi-fi connectivity and the basic inexperienced LED-surrounded information buton, the brand new model will price $49.99 in white, black, purple, or pink.

Compared to Hyperkin’s Duke, a reissue of the enormous controller from the unique Xbox which prices $90 when not on a steep low cost, the Xenon is far more reasonably priced. And I’d wager it’s a way more usable controller for present video games, because the Xbox 360 controller turned the mildew for many fashionable gamepads used as we speak. Unlike a Duke, the Xenon shouldn’t put the consumer at an obstacle with awkwardly slapped-on bumper buttons. All the buttons we usually use as we speak had been current on the Xbox 360 technology, and the Xenon can even have View and Share buttons in addition to a 3.5mm headphone jack, like the present customary Xbox controller.

Are your glasses rose-tinted sufficient to make you desire a new model of the controller from Microsoft’s practically 18 year-old Xbox? (Yes, folks, the Xbox 360 can practically vote. We outdated).
