Support NeoGAF

The oversized controller from the original Xbox console — aka “The Duke” — is making a comeback on the Xbox One this holiday season, via Polygon. Accessory maker Hyperkin is partnering with Microsoft to bring back the legendary controller for the Xbox One and Windows 10 devices.

The new Duke is a slightly modernized version that will be, for the most part, a “faithful recreation of the original controller's form factor.” That’s not to say there won’t be any new features: Hyperkin is updating the controller with “a logo display screen, left and right bumpers, and a 9 ft. detachable cable.”

The Verge

Ok, now that's cool. Really wanna see the new screen.

 

[RecRoulette]

That's awesome.

 

[Tagyhag]

Not a fan of The Duke but that is super cool.

You know, the original S controller wasn't half bad either, wonder how it feels to use now.

 

[iavi]

Buying 4. Possibly more

HugehandsGAF we in this

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Ok thats cool but what about the S controller?

 

[Hedgey]

Oh man, what an interesting thing to bring back. I never liked the thing even though I have large hands but gotta appeal to all the weirdos

 

[RedRum]

I don't even know how I even enjoyed using that thing back in the day. Going to feel strange compared to something like the Elite.

Legendary? Infamous, perhaps.

 

[dancrane212]

As long as the construction is solid I'm sold.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Penny Arcade had so much fun with the OG Xbox controller's size back in the day. Good to see it back lol

 

[KageMaru]

Outside of the d-pad, I loved the Duke. Every controller since then has been too small for me. Will keep an eye out for this.

 

[OmahaG8]

I can finally play Halo and have the grenade button feel normal again.

Wired only?

 

[Ganado]

I need it for my PC.

Nice to see it to scale beside a Xbox One.

 

[Nyoro SF]

I still have my original Duke controller. But since this will have better support (no converter required) I may be interested.

 

[dreamfall]

That's an awesome throwback !

 

[Soltype]

I never had a problem with the size, but that d pad is still straight garbage.

 

[Black Republican]

Just in time for xbox og bc

 

[Arklite]

If they added bumpers I don't see why it still has the black and white buttons.

 

[robotrock]

is that new logo thing going to make this expensive

 

[dmr87]

My first Halo CE experience right there.

 

[sirap]

Everything about the original Xbox was insane.

Bring it.

Nice to see it to scale beside a Xbox One.

😂

 

[Daingurse]

That's pretty neat. Don't really like the Duke though. I have large hands, but still preferred the Controller S at the time.

 

[alr1ght]

Thing was always trash, and I have even have huge hands.

 

[Tagyhag]

If they added bumpers I don't see why it still has the black and white buttons.

Maybe those ARE the bumpers? That'd be crazy lol

 

[Anth0ny]

holy shiiiiiit

between this and the GC controller from Nintendo that was re-released, we just need Sony to release a Dualshock 2 now...

 

[Dredd97]

quite possibly the worst controller I ever had the displeasure of using..

I couldn't wait for the S version to release...

 

[Jigorath]

Oh snap.

Might buy this for my PC depending on the price. Love Xbox controllers.

 

[Machina]

PLEASE let it work on PC. If it does, I will buy in a heartbeat

 

[UraMallas]

Why not fix the dpad tho.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

My reaction was basically "HOLY. SHIT."

Brings back memories. Will get one and probably the first game I'll use it with is Halo CE/MCC.

 

[Arklite]

The amusing part is that it's objectibley worse than every other Xbox pad. Definitely an enthusiast piece.

It does.

built to scale I see

 

[OrbitalBeard]

That controller never sat well with me, but hell, this is cool.

 

[MANGOD]

Long live THE DUKE

 

[Parham]

Guess I need to post this again since there are some people who seem to have already forgotten after 2 page. Wow, how the mind slips!

"Allegedly"

Opening admitting to sexually assaulting someone(then banning anyone who called him out for it)

Posting revenge porn with their real full names then another admin(a now jailed pedophile) printed the photos and jacked off over them and sent it to the boyfriend.

You're right, how can we even know if he's guilty or not? HMMMM

Also:

 

[DJ88]

Yes!!!!

 

[WarLox]

6 face buttons is all I needed

 

[rekameohs]

So, bumpers and Black and White buttons are both on it?

 

[ScaryShark]

Really cool and shows they are going all in with the OG Xbox BC.

 

[McMoneyman]

That's actually cool.

 

[Not]

Nice to see it to scale beside a Xbox One.

Pffffff

 

[AlexFlame116]

I am so buying this!

 

[Mr Swine]

WHAAAAAT????? The Duke is maki g a return???? Instabuy for my PC

 

[kubev]

Why not fix the dpad tho.

Expecting Hyperkin to fix the d-pad on the Duke when Hyperkin can't even make a decent d-pad for its own original controller designs is probably asking a bit much.

 

[Marvie_3]

Fuck yes

 

[WordAssassin]

6 face buttons is all I needed

No, that's the Duke. This is the S:

Fuck you stealth edited! Damn!
