Hyperkin has chosen a special day for this. On November 22, 2005, Microsoft released its gaming console in the USA. However, you could only purchase the console in Europe starting December 2, 2005.

The controller was thus released on the 17th birthday of the Xbox 360.

However, there is a clear difference from the original: The new controller from Hyperkin will only be available wired. A wireless version, like the original, is not planned for now.

When will the controller be released and how much will it cost? So far, Hyperkin has been silent about the release date and the price. However, it is likely if the manufacturer wants to take advantage of this year’s Christmas business.

The most popular PC controllers are based on the design of the 360 model

Is the 360 controller still available? The original controller for the old Xbox 360 can now only be found used or in antique stores.

However, Hyperkin is not the only manufacturer bringing a controller with this design to the market. Various third-party manufacturers copy the popular controller design and sell their controllers for a few euros on Amazon and other platforms. On average, you pay around 20 euros for a no-name product in the 360 design.
