Hall Effect Joysticks
Customers are highly satisfied with the Hall Effect Joysticks of the Hyperkin DuchesS Wired Controller, praising their accuracy and responsiveness. Some users even prefer them over the joysticks on newer official Xbox controllers due to their consistent resistance and satisfying feel.

Satisfying Buttons
Customers have mixed opinions regarding the controller's satisfying buttons. While some find the buttons to be satisfying with a nice clicky/clacky feel, others mention that they take more pressure to press down and are less responsive compared to the original controllers. The back/start buttons also receive criticism for not depressing far enough and being very clicky.
Highlights
Quality
Feels like it is built well and durable.
This controller feels great to use and seems to be really accurate with its hall effect joysticks.
Bumpers feel more like the abxy buttons than the clickiness of back/start.
They're almost entirely resistance-less, and the little bit of resistance you're able to detect feels as if there's nothing pul... Read More
Price
) for a not so cheap controller the usb-c cable is very stiff and feels cheap, for the price i expected a soft flexible cable l... Read More
Packaging/appearance
It’s almost as if someone pressed the x button a thousand times before packing it up.
Competitiveness
I tested it with xemu and it was perfect.
It feels exactly like the original and feels oem compared to most aftermarket controllers.
They do say hall-effect tech is virtually immune to the sort of stick-drift which has plagued the major companies for decades n... Read More
The d-pad is objectively better than on the old s-type while still being *that type* of d-pad.

The new bumpers few new buttons and the shiny new halleffect sticks are somewhat exceptions to this
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The buttons feel great but back start being in the bottomleft again rather than centered as they are on a modern controller can take a few hours of retraining to grow used to again
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
These new bumpers are also easy enough to get used to but i must admit theyre hidden a bit farther away back there than are bumpers on a modern official xbox controller though the entire controller isnt built to the smaller childsuited formfactor of newer official controllers
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I cannot imagine anyone without incredibly small hands finding even these bumpers uncomfortable for even longer sessions they feel just fine to reach being a typicallysized adult man myself and theyre hardly much farther back there than on the official controller i have sidebyside with it right now as i write

By my reckoning the biggest functional change from the og stype has to be the new halleffect analogue sticks
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Theyre almost entirely resistanceless and the little bit of resistance youre able to detect feels as if theres nothing pulling back at you only a constant slight resistance
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Its difficult to describe but it feels more consistent rather than changing depending upon where and how extended the stick is in its range of motion
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I quite prefer it to either of the alternatives myself but it is a slight departure which may take a bit of getting used to
