The new Hyperkin Xenon is a remake of the classic Xbox 360 controller for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and S — but does it do the original justice?

  • I'm buying every single version they make of this controller. I bought the black controller just to test it out ... and now I cannot go back to Xbox One or Xbox Series controllers. The 360 design always suited my hands and the way I tend to grip it. It felt natural even after all this time of using more modern Xbox controllers. That's how good the Xbox 360 controller is in my opinion.

    If this controller was wireless, I’d be instantly sold

    my only complaints about this Controller is they made the analogs feel like cheap plastic and your thumb slips off easy and the Controller needs more stick tension like the OG 360 had
  • The Xbox 360 controller had a wired variant as well, so that's the Xenon controller is based on.

    Broooo!! I game on PC, and I remember when I had two brand new Xbox One controllers, but I never wanted to use them because I felt the 360 one felt much better (probably because I was used to it). From 360 I had a wired one, and a wireless one. I was using the one with the wire, and forced myself to give the wireless one to my cousin to finally start using the Xbox One controller after breaking my cable. Now I don't know if I would go back to it. I'm to used to the Xbox One controller, and the only thing I would get is a Series X/S one, if one of my controllers breaks first, because I feel like they were made by Nokia.

    To me this is the most IKEA gaming controller ever. Every time I see it I feel cozy inside. It truly was a beautiful controller and really comfy.
  • @lissybug0176
    I think the reason why it’s wired probably has to do with Microsoft’s licensing I most definitely can be wrong but that’s what makes sense for me. If they made a wireless version maybe they could use the lights around the logo to show battery life and pairing.

    360 dpad and analog sticks were not cheap.
  • @Marcheziora
    I like the way these sticks are looser than the original, which I found those too stiff for my liking.
  • @thetriborg9588
    Cheep? This controller is high quality, I have it clicky, and just makes me cream playing with it.
  • @MGrey-qb5xz
    are the dimensions same as the xbox 360 controller, the series controllers has smaller grips now and there is empty space when i hold it. edit: wait your gf said this controller is smaller then even series controller??
  • @marcuscook5145
    In my opinion, the 360 controller is the most ergonomically perfect ever made. I can't think of a single thing about its button placement or shape I would change. I've rebuilt a couple of mine now to keep them up and running for my PC and when I occasionally bust out the 360 again.
  • @deadman2968
    It works for the xbox one why do people keep sayin it dont😂
  • @IgorYatskiv
    It's not wireless not because a manufacturer but because Microsoft. For some reason they are very pitty about who to sold a license for wireless. That is a dumbest policy I can imagine. It would have been a perfect controller for me personally if only it would have been wireless :(
  • @Aoekin
    Does this work with Xbox 360?
