Fancy some wireless gaming on your original Xbox in 2024? Well, you might be in luck. Third-party manufacturer Retro Fighters has just released a brand-new OG Xbox controller this month - and it's a fully wireless effort for Microsoft's 2001 console!
Named the 'Hunter', this new pad certainly looks the part. Fusing elements of current Xbox controllers with the original design, this should provide a more 'modern' feeling solution to gaming on the OG Xbox in 2024.
Here are some of the pad's core features:
- 2.4 GHz wireless technology, low latency
- Compatible with original XBOX, Nintendo Switch and PC
- Hall Effect analog sticks – no drift, ever
- Precision Hall Effect analog triggers
- Next-gen ergonomic shape and design
- Wireless rumble capability
- Added white and black shoulder buttons
- Precise and accurate D-pad
- Easy sync and setup
- Premium textured grips
- Pressure sensitive buttons
- Wireless range of over 30 feet
- Battery life of 10+ hours per charge
- Includes both USB-A and XBOX receivers
- USB-C charging port
As you'd probably expect, the Hunter uses a little dongle to connect to the console in a wireless fashion; via the OG Xbox's original controller ports. The pad will set you back roughly $45, and it's available to purchase right now.

"We don’t sacrifice when it comes to our games; and neither should you.

Pair this thing with a modern Xbox HDMI solution and you could be in for a real treat when revisiting the OG Xbox library. We took at look at the EON XBHD adapter recently and compared it to another option from Kaico - both of which you can read all about down below.

I preordered these last year. They're in the mail on their way to me. I'm excited to give them a run on my old Xbox
Can't wait to use it to play Halo on the PS5
I'm going back and forth whether to get this or not. I have the wingman XB2. That allows me to use my Series X and Elite 2 controllers on the OG Xbox AND Xbox 360, so I can use the same controller on all platforms. It is very tempting though.
@Carck lmao
nothing beats the xbox360 controller , sorry .
So this doesn’t work on Series X/S? The Series controller hurts my hands, so I’m stuck using an Xbox one controller.
@nomither6 it has a bad d-pad! I really like the Xbox one controller.
@jesse_dylan yea , but i still love it. the d pad is good enough for me . plus i love how fat and weighty it is
@nomither6 I used it for a good 10 years, probably closer to 15!
