Great Alternative Xbox Controlle
Great controller, very responsive and plays like a lightweight PS5 controller. It is wired, and not wireless, which makes it have a faster response time. So far no stick drift due to the metal joysticks that withstand gaming sessions. I enjoy more than the OEM Xbox controller, hopefully it lasts just as long, if not longer.
Qualité
Premier prise en main nickel les joystick de cette faon et une bonne ide sa change joystick hall effet de bonne qualit je recommande cette manette elle vaut largement son prix
Muy interesante
El producto lleg en el tiempo estimado, asi como en buenas condiciones y sin daos.
El control se siente ligero lo cual es comprensible al ser alambrico. En los pocos das que lo he usado puedo decir que es ergonmico, jugar con el es cmodo y no me ha presenta alguna falla al momento de jugar. Tendra que seguir usndolo para dar una opinin ms amplia. En lo general, es cmodo, fcil de usar, estticamente es bello. Por ahora no tengo objeciones.
Nice and quiet controller for a fair price
This controller is actually nice for the reasonable price. The buttons feel nice and quiet to press, the material feels premium like any official controller, and it works perfectly so far.
In my opinion its one of the only controllers with a nice responsive D-pad that feels like my inputs are very precise and easy to execute. Its similar to Dualsense but feels better and more accurate to me, I never get double inputs when trying to do diagonals, I never get an accidental up or down when pressing only left or right, and it just feels comfortable and satisfying to use overall. Far better than any Playstation controller D-pad and this controller is symmetrical unlike official Xbox controllers.
This Hyperkin controller is also quiet, it doesn’t have the mouse-click garbage that a lot of other controllers are adding lately. Those mouse click controllers are loud, very annoying and break very easily and quickly. This controller does not have the mouse click garbage which is a major plus.
The only cons would be that there’s no wireless option and no instant trigger option. Please make a wireless version with an instant trigger toggle (no mouse clicks) and I would buy immediately.
Official Xbox controllers have decent D-pads as well but they are VERY LOUD for no reason.
I was searching for an Xbox controller that felt like a PS5 Dualsense controller as I prefer those. I am always skeptical when it comes to purchasing third-party controllers but I was recommended to try this and was enticed by the reviews.
I’m happy to say that I love this controller. It somehow feels premium, even though it is not advertised to be. It came packaged securely and even comes with replaceable analogue stick nubs that simulate the Xbox Series X joysticks, if you prefer those. It also comes packaged with a lengthy USB cable that will plug right into your Xbox. This was nice as I play on my living room TV.
The controller feels lightweight with a similar feeling grip (to the PS5 Dualsense) and needs to be corded at all times. The joysticks feel buttery smooth. You can still power the Series X on as long as the controller is corded.
There is one programmable button on each side of the rear of the controller that you can use to map two different buttons. It also has a switch to lock the buttons to prevent misfires or if you don’t like rear buttons.
Overall, it feels like a one-to-one PS5 Dualsense with the main differences being:
* Needs to be plugged in to the console at all times
* Two easily programmable buttons on the rear of the controller
* Rumble feels a bit more aggressive than the PS5 Dualsense
* No touchpad or Adaptive Triggers
* Feels a ‘tad’ bit bigger than a PS5 Dualsense
* Lighter and feels more “hollow” than a PS5 Dualsense
So after my elite series 2 started getting serious wear (rubber grips fell off) I needed a new controller and I wasn’t willing to pay money for a new elite controller. After gaming with this controller for around 7-8 hours I have to say it’s not bad at all its almost exactly like the PS5 controller in every way. So why the four stars you ask I’ll say the controller has no rubber grips which is a downside for me I like rubber grips for those hard core gamers who game for a long time the controller tends to get slippery from hand sweat. But good thing is the plastic on the back is textured and provides some grip not as much as the actual rubber grips but it’s something. Another thing is a pro and a con is the cord it’s a wired controller so you won’t be able to has the freedom as you will with a cordless one. With that being said the length is good it’s a decent size so you won’t have to worry. The controller definitely feels well made to my only complaint is the controller is a bit on the light side which I don’t like. Maybe it’s because I’m used to gaming with my elite series 2 that controller has some heft to it. The controller also has 2 programmable buttons on the back not 4 like other controllers but still ok they are kind of in the way when I game but you can lock the buttons so you won’t accidentally press them. For those hardcore shooters you don’t have trigger locks so that’s a downside but it’s not an issue for me since the current cods suck and battlefield isn’t much of a hardcore shooter so it’s fine for me. All in all I’m happy with my purchase since back in the day I preferred the PlayStation controller over the Xbox so this is a nice change of pace. And the controller comes with a one month gamepass code so it’s good. I’d say if you need something cheap go for it it’s a well made controller for gaming keep that in mind it’s going to lack in those more competitive games
I’m pleasantly surprised with this controller, enough so to write this review :p
Out of the box , I liked that the cable was so long because my only available USB’s are in the back of my PC.
I’ve always played with PlayStation controllers even on pc so the sticks being symmetrical was a big draw for me. I’ve tried a few traditional Xbox styles controllers but couldn’t get used to the asymmetrical sticks. I am already into my third dual sense because of drift and heard that these Hall effect sticks might be better so going to give it a try.
After playing for a few hours I realized that this controller doesn’t have that sharp bottom edge that the ps5 one does. I used to keep my ps4 controller around because after about 1 hour, I have to switch from ps5 to ps4 controller because the ps5 one digs into my pinky
Pros:
*Buttons and feedback feels good
*In-hand feel is great, higher quality material than I expected tbh
*Weight is on point (heavier than ps4 controller and lighter than the duelsense )
*This controller has rumble! I didn’t see it was mentioned as a feature but Im glad it has it.
*works out of the box without any additional software
*tested on my usual games with no issues and plug and play (Genshin, ZZZ, BPSR, WuWa)
*I also tested it with AntiMicroX and it recognized the controller right away ( it’s a free key-rebind app that I use because one of the mmo games I play needs some buttons to be controller mapped and some to be keyboard keys. so for example I was able to map the X button on this controller to the F key on my keyboard using antimicroX)
Cons:
*There’s no gryoscope which I sometimes use, but it’s not a dealbreaker
*I have to get used the X,Y,A,B instead of square, circle etc. lol
Although because the layout is so similar to what I’m used to, my muscle memory picks it up fine
Other:
* I probably won’t use the programmable buttons in the back because I know I’ll hit them by mistake, but it’s cool that you can lock them
* I haven’t tried the second pair of sticks that it came with, but neat that that you can just plop them out and back in. Might try one and one for a while
I uploaded some footage of me playing, I tend to button mash lol, but seems like this controller can take it.
Overall I’m impressed with it and plan to keep using it. If you’re someone who’s used to playing on PlayStation and want something that works well for PC, I would say give this controller a try.
