Hyperkin Duke Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S/Xbox One/Windows 10 (Xbox 20th Anniversary Limited Edition) (Black) - Officially Licensed by Xbox

This modern Duke suffers from the same ergonomic stupidity as the original it's based on, with the notable improvement of bumpers to replicate the functions of the "white" and "black" buttons, plus the functions implemented since the first XBox model. Even as someone who must wear XL gloves, this controller makes most games frustrating to play with how difficult it is so reach the letter-designated buttons from a comfortable resting position. It's perfect for that old Halo feel if you're playing the Master Chief Collection.

Product is Good, They don't have an app on Xbox right now. but they should have an update Firmwere directly on Xbox console, Every controller have except Hyperkin.

The media could not be loaded. Second controller I ordered and it has the same issue. The left trigger randomly activates without touching and the slightest touch sets it off.

The media could not be loaded. I love this controller, it plays the OG console startup when you hit the big home button and rests on the later xbox logo, very nostalgic and cool. It comes with a little display stand as well thats color matching.You can tell this was made by xbox nerds for nerds like myself. Its one of my new favorite items that I own.Only cons is the cord is only about 5ft long but a usb extender is cheap and easy to find. So far ive played 343guilty spark and The Library and no issues with the left trigger yet, keepin my fingers crossed.And last but not least Hyperkin needs to make an adapter usb connector so i can use it with my OG xbox console, now that would be great!

Despite the bulky size of this controller it is quite lightweight which makes it feel somewhat insubstantial and ‘cheap’ and as a person who actually has one of the real Duke controllers for the OG Xbox I got back at launch for that console this definitely does not feel on par with that device in the hand, it had a real heft and a smoothness of operation that made the OG Xbox controller feel really premium and advanced for its time. This feels very light and hollow like a toy instead of a piece of high end gaming equipment.I really want to talk about the cord because I was very disappointed to find it’s only maybe 4 or 5 feet long which just isn’t long enough for my setup and probably not for many others either. 10 feet would have been better but a 15 foot cable would have been perfect. But trying to sit within 4 feet of a 60 inch display is not an optimal experience. I will say this much about the cable it’s very nice it has the classic Xbox green colored wrapping and feels very sturdy and would probably last a long time.I love the bright little screen and the Xbox boot animation. I also like how the screen also functions as the actual Xbox button it would be cool if there was a way to change the brightness level of the screen. Because in the dark it is quite distracting but not a deal breaker for me.I played Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on the XSX with this controller to test it out. I was sitting incredibly close to the screen thanks to the short length of the included cable so I couldn’t play for long due to eye strain but I did get to give the controller a good test of how it plays.Vibration is good and strong and the analog sticks are tight and responsive. I find the layout of the face buttons to be a bit problematic. They’re quite a ways in from the edge of the controller which makes it a bit hard to get used to and find buttons without looking. I really like how the black and white buttons are mapped to the left and right bumpers respectively, I would have liked to have seen Hyperkin add a feature to remap those buttons to different inputs, huge missed opportunity there but it’s still great the way it is.I think this controller would be great for racing games as the analog sticks and and triggers are oversized but still quite precise.I absolutely love the inclusion of a beautiful translucent green acrylic display stand that Hyperkin added in with this package. The cord might be too short to use as a full time controller but it definitely makes for a nice display piece.Overall I love the looks and presentation that Hyperkin put into this controller. It really strikes that chord of nostalgia for a bygone era in gaming where companies were still taking chances and experimenting with designs like this.However, I can’t really recommend this as an actual full time controller it just has too many negatives going against it with the greatest flaw being the lack of wireless connectivity and the inclusion of a far too short connection cable.I think if you go in expecting to use this as your primary controller you’ll be disappointed but if you look at it as a fully functional display piece, as I do, you’ll find this to be an interesting little piece of nostalgia.

I bought this controller when it came out to play with for that classic controller feel. I was really loving it but the left trigger just kept malfunctioning to a point where i tried getting it fixed to no avail. Ghost presses are very common with these models unfortunately.If you want it for display it's worth it. If you want to use it. Probably don't buy it.

The media could not be loaded. I'll give it 5 stars. i read some comments about it feeling cheap before i bought it. I disagree, i had one of these as a kid, it feels the same in the hands. The center button animation is a strange little gimmick I enjoy. the center button is the only part of this that feels odd, it doesnt depress straight down, it flexes and depresses at the angle you press it. I can foresee myself breaking that button if im too rough with it some day. I dont really mind the flimsy feeling from center button at the end of the day its superfluous anyways.
