We've seen a few PS5-style Xbox controllers over the years, but this must be the most similar of all! As part of CES 2025, Hyperkin has announced a new Xbox controller called "The Competitor" that very much resembles the DualSense.

As you can see, this controller drops the left thumbstick down to the bottom of the controller and moves the PS5-style d-pad up to the top, while even the colour scheme is very reminiscent of the PlayStation controller design.

The Competitor is actually a wired controller for Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC, but one of the big benefits compared to standard Xbox controllers is that it comes with Hall Effect sticks, helping to eliminate stick drift. It apparently comes with Hall Effect triggers as well.

We're still waiting on release date and price details for The Competitor, so we'll let you know when more information rolls in. Something tells us this could end up being a pretty popular controller in the Hyperkin lineup later this year!
