Heya Victor, that certainly doesn't sound characteristic of the Competitor controller. There are actually independent reviews that shows it is actually one of the better DPad's out there. We have a 1-year warranty on our products and willing to fix it if it is a rare manufacturing problem. Email us at [email protected] so we can make it right.
A new challenger enters.
Meet Murasaki, the newest colorway for the Hyperkin Competitor. Same Xbox-licensed controller. Same player-ready performance for Xbox, PC, Steam, and game streaming. Now dressed in a bold new look made to stand out.
Built to compete. Styled to flex.
The Competitor: Murasaki is coming soon. Pre-order opens up tomorrow June 9, 2026.

That’s a wrap on SoCal Retro!
Thank you to everyone who came by to visit us, brought their Hyperkin gear to get customized, or picked up something new at the show to make it their own. We had an amazing time meeting fans, creating custom UV-printed designs, and seeing everyone’s excitement in person.
A huge thank you as well to everyone who stopped by to check out the new Hyperkin Captain+ controller and see what the ModRetro M64 is all about.
For anyone who missed out on product customizations, don’t worry — this won’t be the last time we bring this experience to an event. We hope to see you at the next one, and we can’t wait to help you customize your gear.

The ModRetro M64 now has a release date, and we’re giving players a chance to try it before launch.
Hyperkin will be at SoCal Retro Expo in Pasadena on June 6-7 with a public hands-on demo of the ModRetro M64 paired with our Hyperkin Captain+ Controller.
Built to match the M64 colorways, Captain+ brings more than looks to the setup with a Hall Effect stick, precise circularity i-diagram, and a dual-layered PCB for a premium 64-bit control experience.
Try the console. Feel the controller. Decide if the M64 + Captain+ combo is right for you.
See you in Pasadena.

GameFlips just got the Hyperkin treatment.
We made a custom Hyperkin sponsored gamertag straight onto these controller shells, bringing together retro gaming style, clean detail, and a one-of-one finish made for SoCal Gaming Expo.
Custom. Retro. Player-ready.

Mega95 Update
It has been a while since we last shared an update on the Mega95, and we were hoping to have a better update than this. That being said, we want to still communicate, and be transparent with the situation.
The honest reason for the delays, is that the latest tooled samples we received from our factory partner did not meet the standards we require for this product. They were not at a level where we felt comfortable sending them out to local testers. Because of this, we were not willing to move forward with samples that did not properly represent what the Mega95 is supposed to be.
Rather than rush something out just to show progress, we have asked the factory to go back, and correct the issues we found. We are persistent on solving any major issues we find before we move into production.
Delays like this are frustrating, especially when the community is excited and ready for the product. However, we would rather take the extra time now put something unfinished in front of testers or, worse, bring a product to market that does not meet expectations.
We want to be transparent about why there has not been much new information recently. The Mega95 is still very much in development, and we are continuing to push to make sure it is done the right way.
Thank you for your patience, your excitement, and your continued support. We will share more as soon as we have samples that truly reflect the product we set out to build.
Let’s Game.
Huge shoutout to @Hyperkin / @DrakongGaming for inviting me to test the InfiniaKore Guitar!
This has been one of the biggest opportunities I’ve had in the community, I had a lot of fun and couldn’t be more grateful!
The sun is setting on SupaBoy Hyper Beach.
We’re officially retiring this colorway, and once the remaining units are gone, they’re gone.
New SupaBoy colors are coming soon. Until then, grab Hyper Beach before it rides off into the neon sunset.

69/10! Would recommend over literally any other controller I’ve ever had for Xbox. ANY CONTROLLER EVER MADE FOR XBOX, this tops it 1000000%.
Removable/replaceable joy sticks. Mappable buttons/“paddles” under the controller.
Response time is insane. Feels immaculate. I think I’m set for life🙏❤️🔥
@Hyperkin top 2 and not #2!🥇👑 Check DM’s🌳👀🌳
Play Evolved. 🎸

@Sab3rStrik3 No, we have a number of products in the pipeline for all layouts. We don’t discriminate player preference, just we feel the options for symmetrical stick layout on Xbox is under represented. We are always looking to do something different than what everyone else is doing.
