The Xbox 360’s initial, white controller, which released with the console — oh dear paradises, currently 17 years ago to this really day — will certainly return to life as an Xbox Series X outer many thanks to Hyperkin, the outer manufacturers behind the phat-and-phabulous Duke reboot for contemporary equipment.

Called “The Xenon” (for the Xbox 360’s very first advancement codename) the throwback gamepad can be found in 4 shades: pink, red, and also the traditional white and also re-release black acquainted to many. The Xenon might be made use of with any kind of Xbox One, Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, or Windows COMPUTER. Pricing and also schedule were not discussed in Tuesday’s statement.

Although the switches, thumbsticks, and also directional pad appear like 1:1 suits, there are likewise food selection, sight, and also share switches to sustain existing capacities. A promotional slick from Hyperkin claimed the controller has a roar attribute, yet it didn’t define whether that experiences the triggers, as has actually held true from Xbox One onward.

Unfortunately, the Xenon is a wired controller just, though a minimum of it’s not hard-wired. (The USB-C cord is removable). The exact same opted for the reprise Duke, nevertheless, which appeared to be a little rate to spend for fond memories.

It’s still wonderful to take a look at. It in fact advises me of the spring I spent living with my grandfather after the 2008 monetary disaster, having fun 1 vs. 100 with buddies in various other timezones after he went to sleep. Good times, long gone.
