The nostalgia
The nostalgia feels good. Those oblong buttons didn’t
Throw one out of rage, end with a murder charge
Penny Arcade had the best snipe at this controller… https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2002/03/25/ursine-adventures#
I don’t think its brand new. This came out atleast a few years ago
Only system that has Doom 3 coop. And introduced me to Metal Slug through 3.
Microsoft’s design for the new football.
Am I the only one who heard the halo intro?
The DUKE
[removed]
Unf!
The Duke could vibrate the house off the foundation.
Anyone else strap a stopwatch to the center of these for the Halo shield/inviz/weapon respawns?
I loved my Dukes. I probably still have 3 or 4 in the garage somewhere.
You unsealed the hushed casket!
thicc
I love the Duke! It’s what I use as my current pc game pad.
The thumbstick rubber design on the left stick is one of the best, idk why they don’t use it. More. I took them out and put it on my s controller.
The thumbsticks look dirty… u sure it’s brand new?
Controller as big as the console itself 😭
Found an already modded and HDD expanded Xbox with 1 controller two months ago at a thrift store and messaged a few people offering second hand controllers. I ended up buying 4 more controllers, a total of 5, including one Duke. The Duke is sadly broken, but that means I can display it and still have 4 working S controllers for gaming with the bros.
Installed PSX, N64 and GameBoy emulators onto it yesterday, so Wednesday we’ll see if we can play some Crash Bash, Mario Kart or Mario Party.
The best controller ever !!!
That was still a controller for adults which does not have to fit children’s hands.
To this day, I still wonder who had the bright idea of implementing those cumbersome black and white buttons in lieu of a second pair of shoulder buttons. Thankfully that mistake was rectified for 360 but I’d imagine playing the Xbox must have required plenty of dexterity on your part.
The sticks look kinda worn
They did indeed look like a bastard child didn’t they
Definitely the Bartolo Colón of the controller hall of fame
I remember the only thing keeping me away from the original Xbox was this ugly looking controller.
Did they do any user testing before they released this thing? I love the nostalgia but what the fuck were they thinking?
Bring me back 😭
As someone with abnormally large hands this was the only controller that ever felt right for me 😂
this was my favorite controller of all time
Big Chungus
Oh, but when I affix buttons and thumbsticks to the shell of a medium-sized turtle, it’s “animal cruelty.”
My gosh. I’d buy that for a dollar.
Is that a Duke?
I have no nostalgia for the duke 🙁
I got this Phoenix controller that was much slimmer and never even used the brick.
Those were a monstrosity my nine year old hands couldn’t handle
Still have mine and the USB adapter cable but it doesn’t work too well on PC these days. Also still have the DVD remote too.
Want to touch it!!!
Really? Looks used to me. Those sticks look worn.
So mad I can’t upvote a post multiple times. The Original and still the GOAT.
BBC
… we must preserve it…
I’m not a big dude by any means but I found that controller to be, by FAR, the most comfortable controller I’ve used. I still remember the Penny Arcade comic about them replacing it with a bear to see if Gabe would notice haha.
My little baby hands would have hated this OG controller….
