By introducing a second rear camera and a larger battery, Apple aims to enhance both functionality and user satisfaction.

Blind box collecting has always run on a specific tension: you hand over money, you get a sealed package, and you don’t know what’s inside until it’s open. The appeal isn’t just the object, it’s the ritual, the anticipation, and the drive to complete the full set. That formula has worked for figures, keychains, and accessories for years. The Drakong PixelByte applies it to a gamepad.
The PixelByte Controller is a keychain-sized Bluetooth gamepad from Drakong, a gaming hardware brand under the Hyperkin umbrella. Each unit comes sealed in a blind box with no external indication of which character design is inside. Alongside the controller, every box includes a matching Chibi character charm and a collectible card. The first series is fully licensed around Attack on Titan, covering seven distinct designs across the lineup.
Designer: Drakong by Hyperkin
Those seven designs include Eren, Mikasa, Levi, Hange, Sasha, and Titan, plus an ultra-rare variant that appears in only one of every 30 boxes. Standard designs arrive at 1:6 odds per box, and a full case of six comes with no repeats across the common lineup. The ultra-rare replaces the common counterpart in those boxes, which means completing the set involves genuine unpredictability even when buying in bulk.
The controller works across iOS, Android, PC, Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, Mac, Steam, Linux, and Raspberry Pi via Bluetooth. Three switchable modes let it function as a gaming controller, a hybrid mouse-keyboard for productivity tasks like advancing slides or triggering PC hot keys, or simply as a fidget device between sessions. The D-pad can be remapped to replicate a thumbstick, and Turbo Mode is built in for rapid-fire inputs.
Battery life runs to approximately 12 hours per charge via USB-C. The integrated keychain loop clips onto bags, belt loops, console cases, or a set of keys, making it as carry-friendly as it is functional. The Chibi charm included in every box extends the collecting experience beyond the controller itself, giving fans two separate pieces to display alongside or separately from the hardware.
Drakong has confirmed additional series beyond Attack on Titan, spanning anime, games, and TV shows, without revealing which licenses come next. That open-ended roadmap is as central to the product’s long-term appeal as any single series. The blind box format was designed for repeat buying, and each new theme brings fresh character designs, new pull odds, and a fresh reason to try your luck again.
The Attack on Titan PixelByte Controller is priced at $24.99, or €24.99 and £19.99, and is available for pre-order through Drakong’s website, the Hyperkin store, and Amazon. That price point sits well within impulse-buy territory, which is almost certainly the point. For a collectible that clips to your bag and plays your games, the only downside is not knowing which character you’re taking home.
