Hyperkin officially launches a look at the licensed remake of the iconic Xbox 360 controller by Microsoft. It even boasts the same design theme from the 2005 launch to create a nostalgic vision of the original consoles. The Xenon controller is named after the Xbox 360 first internal development codename.

It also has old designs along with contemporary updates in the form of the Share, View, and Menu buttons. It also has a 3.5mm headphone jack with the addition of a detachable USB-C cable. Although the original controller only came in the white colorway palette -- this time around, it comes in three colors black, pink, and red for a bold look this time around.
