A year back, Hyperkin introduced the DuchesS controller, which is a modern take on the Xbox Controller S from the early 2000s. However, this controller only became available for purchase in August 2024. Initially revealed in Black and White, Hyperkin has now shared that a third color option will soon be available for the Xbox-licensed controller.
New Color Announcement
The upcoming color is a see-through green that corresponds with the Halo: Combat Evolved Xbox console that launched in 2004. It will be marketed as the Special Edition Greenhaven DuchesS and will keep the same price of $49.99 as the other color variants. Hyperkin hasn’t specified when this new color will be available, but many are hopeful that we won’t have to wait another 8 months like we did for the original controller.
Features of the DuchesS
The DuchesS is a wired controller, similar to the original Xbox Controller S, and it features a detachable USB-C cable. It includes Hall Effect joysticks that have zero drift, bumpers that replicate the functions of the Black and White buttons on the original Xbox Controller, and impulse triggers that offer improved tactile feedback.
Inspired Accessories
Hyperkin is not the only company to launch a see-through green accessory inspired by the classic Xbox console. Last November, 8BitDo introduced an Xbox-themed version of its Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard and the Retro R8 Mouse. Both of these items will be available for purchase starting on January 16.
