Drakong™, a leading L.A. based gaming hardware company, announced today The Challenger, a new breed of premium controller designed for everyday gaming and ideal for those who wish to play across XBOX and PC, is available from today!
Officially licensed and compatible with XBOX Series X|S, XBOX One and Windows® 10/11 PC, The Challenger is a statement of intent for Drakong, a new brand with a fresh philosophy from long-standing video game hardware specialists, Hyperkin. Pairing advanced features with an unbelievable price, this new gamepad rises to the challenge of providing beautifully engineered hardware at a competitive price. Hall-Effect switches for dual Thumbsticks make stick-drift a thing of the past and Twin Programmable Back Buttons offer custom control right where gamers need it. And that’s just the beginning.
Starting today The Challenger is a controller that’s built for and available for everyone to enjoy. From casual players to competitive gamers, The Challenger offers comfort that is a pleasure to hold even during extended gaming sessions. Drakong developed a standout ergonomic design including laser-textured grips on the handles and triggers, and a unique durable membrane for the ABXY action buttons that ensure exceptional durability as the action intensifies.
When the choice of controller can make the difference between winning and losing, gamers will always look for a competitive edge and with The Challenger they need look no further. Drakong’s premiere controller features Impulse Triggers that provide tactical feedback and localised vibration directly to gamers’ fingers, without disrupting the shell of the controller. A sizable 10ft USB-C detachable cable gives gamers the advantages of wired latency, important in tournament play, and the integrated 3.5mm headphone jack is versatile, compatible with a range of different gaming headsets.
Slade Dude Suzuki, Lead Product Developer for Drakong commented, “As Drakong’s very first controller, we knew The Challenger needed to be something special. Representing the brand’s values of innovation, craftsmanship and pioneering design, we didn’t want advanced features to be locked behind an expensive price barrier, so we’re proud to offer a controller that’s built for everyone to enjoy. With Impulse Triggers, Hall-Effect Switches and durable membrane buttons, we’ve pulled out all the stops for The Challenger and we’re excited to get it into the hands of XBOX and PC gamers alike.”
The Challenger is available from today for an incredible MSRP of: $34.99 / £29.99 / €34.99.
