Around 17 years ago, the Xbox 360 flooded into living rooms and basements everywhere, along with its iconic controller. Now, the popular gaming peripheral and retro accessories manufacturer Hyperkin is remaking that controller for modern consoles and PCs.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know about you guys, but the Xbox 360 controller is one of my all-time favorites. It\u2019s right up there with the ridiculous N64 contraption. Using that same controller on a modern PC sounds nice, and soon you\u2019ll be able to do that.<\/p>\n

Hyperkin just announced<\/a> its upcoming\u00a0Xenon controller, which brings back that 17-year-old design with modern features. We\u2019re talking about a 3.5mm headphone jack, a detachable USB-C cable, and newer devices\u2019 menu, view, and share buttons.<\/p>\n

Today, 17 years ago, the #Xbox360<\/a> launched to much acclaim. Now announcing the Xenon, a replica of the official #Xbox<\/a> 360 Controller \u2013 licensed with Designed for Xbox \u2013 for Xbox Series X|S\/Xbox One\/Windows 10|11 PCs.<\/p>\n

Full circle. Back in control. <\/p>\n

Hyperkin chose the name as a throwback to Microsoft\u2019s original codename for the Xbox 360, Xenon, which makes sense. According to the company, this is an officially licensed remake and will be available in four colors. You can go with the classic white or choose black, red, or pink.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, we don\u2019t have any pricing or release date details to share. We\u2019ve seen similar throwback retro controllers like the Hyperkin Duke<\/a> retail for around $70, so we\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n
