The folks over at Hyperkin are known for the long-list of classic controllers in its catalog, and they are now resurrecting the classic Controller S, which is one of the original Xbox controllers. This officially licensed wired controller called DuchesS is priced at $49.99 on Amazon. You can pre-order one now in either black or white color, and it’ll start shipping on August 21. These listings also fall under the Amazon pre-order Guarantee, meaning you’ll be charged the lowest price they fall to between now and release no matter how much you lock in for now.
The Hyperkin DutchesS is a modern replica of the classic Controller S, which was the second — and a relatively smaller — iteration of the original Duke controller. This officially licensed version is a wired controller that features Hall Effect thumb sticks that won’t wear out as quickly as traditional sticks. The controller will come with impulse triggers in the L and R buttons for added vibrational feedback, and it’ll also have a 3.5mm headphone jack and a share button. The Hyperkin DutchesS will come packed with a 10-foot USB-C cable, and it’ll work with Xbox One and Series X / S consoles, and PC.
The upcoming DutchesS isn’t Hyperkin’s first foray into classic game controller revival, as the brand has already dished out quite a few of those in the past including the original Xbox controller nicknamed The Duke, which also had a Cortana 20th Anniversary Limited Edition in Purple.
