Hyperkin Unveils PS5-Inspired Xbox Controller at CES 2025

The Competitor offers DualSense-style design, Hall Effect sticks, and Xbox compatibility but lacks wireless functionality.

Hyperkin revealed 'The Competitor,' a wired Xbox and PC controller modeled after the PS5 DualSense, at CES 2025.
The controller features symmetrical thumbsticks, a PS5-style D-pad, and a white-and-black color scheme similar to the DualSense.
It includes Hall Effect joysticks and triggers, which are designed to improve durability and prevent stick drift.
Additional features include two programmable back buttons and a mute button, but it lacks haptic feedback and adaptive triggers found in the DualSense.
Pricing and release date for The Competitor have not yet been announced, but it is expected to launch in the second quarter of 2025.
