Get this retro Xbox One controller at its lowest ever price

Hyperkin Duke GamesRadar Best Deal — (Image credit: Future)

Rumour has it that if you ask any long-term Xbox fan what their favorite gamepad is, a chorus of nostalgia-filled gamers will suddenly appear to tell you that nothing can ever beat the original Xbox controller. That same spontaneously nostalgic group will be thrilled to learn, then, that the Hyperkin Duke is now on sale at its lowest-ever Amazon price.

The Hyperkin Duke is, in our eyes, one of the best Xbox One controllers on the market. It has a design that would make any retro-gaming fan's heart flutter since it looks almost exactly like the design of the original Xbox controller. Despite its listed price being up at $89.99, it's currently on offer for only $59.99, packing a saving of $30 on a very unique gamepad. The Hyperkin Duke's average price on Amazon sits at $83, showing you how uncommon it is to see a drop in price. This is a great deal in our eyes because even from that average price, you're still saving upward of $20 on a new controller.

We're unsure of how long this deal will last, but with Black Friday gaming deals approaching thick and fast, we wouldn't expect it to last too long. The Hyperkin Duke can only be used in wired mode but does feature a few welcome improvements from the original Xbox controller it's paying homage to. For example, The Duke has fully supported vibration feedback as well as precision analog triggers and bumpers. When you consider that some of the best PC controllers will set you back more than $100, this is a great way to get a nostalgia-filled piece of gaming hardware at a solid price point.

One of my earliest memories is playing SuperMario64 and wondering why the controller I held had three grips, but I only had two hands. Ever since I've been in love with video games and their technology. After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Journalism, I contributed to the Scottish Games Network and completed an Editorial Internship at Expert Reviews. Over the last decade, I’ve been managing my own YouTube channel about my love of games too. These days, I'm one of the resident hardware nerds at GamesRadar+, and I take the lead on our coverage of gaming PCs, VR, controllers, gaming chairs, and content creation gear. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension.
