Now here’s an interesting one.
Them darn good folks over at Hyperkin have today officially confirmed their upcoming Xbox controller ‘The Competitor’is now available for pre-order.
Available from the end of October, The Competitor is a premium wired controller for Xbox which looks suspiciously like a DualSense, with its symmetrical Hall-Effect thumbsticks and distinct segmented D-Pad design, the controller also features programmable back buttons, thumbstick customisation and laser textured grip on the controllers handles.
The controller will ship in different colours, White and Black, and Blue and Gold though the blue and gold variants don’t currently have a set release date in the US.
If you’re in the UK you can pre-order one from Amazon here. US customers can go here and here to pre-order.
Slade Dude Suzuki (!), Lead Product Developer at Hyperkin;
“Today marks an important milestone for Hyperkin, as we go live with pre-orders for what may be our most anticipated product launch of the year. Since announcing The Competitor in January, it’s evident how much enthusiasm gamers have for a premium controller that breaks the norm and delivers true innovation at a highly competitive price point.
With a state-of-the art feature set, and a laser focus on performance, we believe The Competitor elevates above the competition. We can’t wait to bring The Competitor to gamers around the world in a few short weeks.”
