Hyperkin has announced a new Xbox controller that is inspired by the design of the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller. It is compatible with the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
The controller features a PS5-style d-pad on the top left, symmetrical Hall Effect effect analog sticks on the bottom, triggers similar to the PS5 DualSense, and a mute button.
Hyperkin did not reveal the price or release date for the controller.

I do like the symmetry of PlayStation controllers.
Ehhh I don't see this selling well...
If anything, I just want more offset options for my PS5
I'd rather have more options for PS5 controllers as well. Some of the cheapest third-party PS5 controllers are $50., and many are more expensive than DualSense.
That separate button D-pad is the best feature!
Everything hyperkin makes for the retro-gaming scene is low-quality junk. Their Analog to HDMI scalers only do the same thing your HDMI TV would do to a retro-game signal. Their power supplies fail any voltmeter test (they will cook your retro game console). Their emulation devices are laggy and inaccurate compared to Mister, Analogue, or even Retroarch. Ditto for Old-Skool and most Retro-Bit accessories. Thankfully Retrobit does make good rereleases of older games (but only because people on twitter yelled at them to get the voltages right).
Anyway don't buy anything made for modern consoles by them. It's probably just as bad as their retro-oriented line of products. Stick drift within months.
Why are the thumb sticks in a wierd position?
PS5 dpad .is the worst dpad on a controller. Ms eltore controller dpad is the best
