Microsoft has partnered with Hyperkin to re-release the 16-year-old original. The updated controller, however, not only comes with a detachable nine-foot cable, but replaces the static logo that graced the OG pad with an LCD screen that displays the Xbox logo.

The collaborative “Duke” is slated for a Holiday 2017 release.
