Hyperkin Duke Wired Controller for Xbox One/ Windows 10 PC (Red Limited Edition) - Officially Licensed By Xbox

I was concerned that it would be too large and inconvenient, but the concept appealed to me (and I'm an older gamer). It's become one of my most cherished possessions.
Pros:

Here's what I had to say about the book. First and foremost, potential reviewers should be aware of the following: DO NOT REMOVE POINTS BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE WIRELESS. Microsoft made the decision in this case. Wireless controllers from third parties are not allowed, and Hyperkin has no say in the matter. br> br> Let's move on to the disadvantages now that that's out of the way: I deducted a star for two reasons: If you travel with this thing on a regular basis, like I do, and have to unplug it frequently on the controller side, the plastic casing (or something else, I'm not sure) wears away over time, and the controller may become unresponsive to even minor movements. I had no choice but to get a new one. If that were the only issue, I wouldn't have deducted a star because a cable is a cheap replacement, but the plastic coating on the center button/screen is also cheap and easily scratched, which is an odd design choice given the quality of the rest of the controller, and I've taken it completely apart and reassembled it so I have a better understanding of that than most. br br> Let's get down to business. Apart from the aforementioned issues, the controller is essentially a modernized and higher-performance version of the previous controller. a high-quality re-creation of Duke's original; For example, the original Duke's triggers had spring mechanisms that provided a bit too much resistance and would wear out over time; I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who doesn't have large hands, but for me, a 6'3 man with large hands (don't mind my name, it's a family account), this is the only controller I can use comfortably. The size and placement of the shoulder buttons aren't ideal, but they're adequate. I don't blame Hyperkin for this because all they wanted to do was modernize the Duke, which didn't come with shoulder buttons to begin with, so given the circumstances, they did the best they could, and I doubt anyone else could have done a better job. br> br> I'd only suggest it to Duke fans or those with large hands. It's a niche product, but it's one of the best in its category.

There are, however, a few disadvantages: Hyperkin didn't include a wireless/BT module because the device is so small, but they did include a long USB cable. Also, while the screen and animation on the Xbox button are cool, they don't add much to the controller's cool factor. Instead of taking up space that could be used for wireless connectivity, I'd rather have the screen electronics take up space that could be used for that.

This controller, as well as the screen in the center, which displays the original Xbox logo, bring back many memories for me. It's strange at first when you've been using smaller controllers for 15 years and the A B X Y buttons are super close together and awkwardly placed, but I like it. I ordered the Red version, but instead received an extremely unattractive Orange version.

You'll never get hand cramps using this piece of bizarre engineering, even if the Duke is a large potato. From the start, I was a big fan of the shoulder buttons and the XBOX logo. Even though it's wired, the best part is that the plug interface is recessed and reinforced with a slot that holds the USB plug by the plastic casing rather than the notoriously fragile connection piece, indicating that some thought was put into actually improving upon the original design. It was a wise investment of funds.
