Hyperkin Xenon Wired Controller for Xbox Series X S Xbox One Windows 10 11 PC Plug and Play

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 Read more

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. Read more

Very nice y2k retro controller. It is a nice little conversation starter when I invite my friends over. All the buttons and sticks feel great. I use it for my PC and it registers the controller as a standard Xbox controller, so it is supported for all controller games, no extra setup required (I presume it also works for an actual Xbox as well, but I don't have one). It has a headphone jack which is nice. The only downside is that the pause/select and clip buttons don't match the rest of the controller. Read more

this controller is CRAZY good like beyond amazing i love this controller i grew up playing on the xbox 360 and this controller is a good replacement (especially if you have an xbox one) i wish i got it in white but eh its fine the controller feels good to hold i mean it feels like an actual xbox 360 controller so if your someone who plays on the xbox one or series X/S you need to get this and i love how the wire is long enough to play from afar 10/10 Read more

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. Read more

What a great controller. Obviously based on the 360, the controller feels, great good button responsiveness. Has a good weight and feel in hand, not cheap at all. Cord has enough length to play from a decent distance. Will buy again to have an extra. Read more

Great look and feel. Only wish it was wireless but I get why it's not Read more
