The gaming accessory market is buzzing with new guitar controllers, and Hyperkin’s latest offering stands out with its modular design and broad compatibility. Following the success of PDP’s Riffmaster, the Hyperkin Drakong InfinaKore Telecaster Edition Guitar Controller enters the scene as a versatile option for rhythm game enthusiasts. Designed primarily for Fortnite Festival, which boasts over 2.2 million daily players, this controller also supports legacy titles like Guitar Hero and Rock Band, along with fan-made projects such as Clone Hero.
What makes the Drakong InfinaKore unique is its multi-platform support, extending beyond current-gen consoles to include older systems like the Xbox 360 and even mobile devices running iOS and Android. The controller retains the classic five-fret layout but introduces innovative features like slim fret buttons for easier tapping and directional keys positioned above the frets. These arrow keys let players strum without relying solely on the traditional strum bar, a handy solution for missed notes during intense sessions.
Durability is another focus, with hot-swappable buttons ensuring long-term usability. Hyperkin also included a dedicated “star power” button near the strum bar, offering a reliable alternative to motion-based activation when tilt controls fail. While pricing and release details remain under wraps, the Drakong InfinaKore could become a go-to choice for gamers seeking a future-proof guitar controller that bridges the gap between modern and classic rhythm games.
For those invested in the rhythm game revival, this controller promises both functionality and nostalgia, blending familiar mechanics with thoughtful upgrades. Keep an eye out for updates, Hyperkin’s track record suggests this could be worth the wait.
