The Hyperkin Xenon is a recreation of the original Xbox 360 controller designed for modern consoles. Not only does it work on the Xbox Series X/S but it also works on PC and even on the Xbox One. Named after the original motherboard from the Xbox 360, the Hyperkin Xenon follows in the footsteps of the Hyperkin Duke. Just like with that controller, Hyperkin has done an excellent job of recreating the best parts of the Xbox 360 controller while adding a few modern conveniences like a Menu, Share and View button alongside a USB-C port at the back.
The Hyperkin Xenon sells for $49.99, which is certainly more than other wired Xbox controllers from 8BitDo, PowerA and PDP. Still, it’s available in several different iconic colors and the nostalgic feeling of playing on a faithful recreation of the original Xbox 360 controller might be worth it if you grew up playing a lot of classic titles on Microsoft’s second console. Our Hyperkin Xenon review will help decide if this retro-style, wired controller is one of the best PC game controllers and worth picking up for your Xbox Series X/S or PC.
