Hyperkin's retro-inspired Bluetooth controller, designed like an SNES pad, has received a $4 discount just weeks after launch, now available at $35.99 with Hall Effect sticks and broad device compatibility.
Hyperkin's Retro Pixel Art Wireless Controller has received its first discount just weeks after launching on January 15. Originally priced at $39.99, the retro-styled Bluetooth controller is now available for $35.99 on Amazon for a limited time. This positions Hyperkin's offering $4 below its closest competitor, the 8BitDo SN30 Pro, which maintains its $39.99 price point.
The controller's design pays homage to the classic Super Nintendo Entertainment System controller, complete with colored action buttons and a familiar layout. Underneath its nostalgic exterior, Hyperkin incorporates modern gaming features: Hall Effect thumbsticks that resist drift, motion-controlled gyro aiming support, programmable turbo functionality, and textured grips for extended play comfort. Battery performance reaches up to 15 hours per charge.
Connectivity options include Bluetooth wireless operation and USB-C wired mode. The controller's standout feature remains its exceptional cross-platform compatibility, supporting:
- Nintendo Switch/Switch 2
- Android/ChromeOS/iOS devices
- macOS/Windows 10/11 PCs
- Steam Deck (SteamOS)
- Raspberry Pi projects
- Tesla infotainment systems
- Amazon Luna cloud gaming
This discount makes Hyperkin's controller a compelling choice for retro gaming enthusiasts seeking drift-resistant components and multi-device flexibility. At $35.99, it undercuts comparable retro-style controllers while maintaining premium features typically found in higher-priced alternatives.
