The original Xbox was my first real console gaming experience since I was a PC player before that. We used to call that controller the Fat Man it was so big. I guess the Duke is a bit more politically correct. If you miss having the Duke around, bring it back with Hyperkin's wired controller on sale for $38.97. The Duke normally sells for around $52 or more, including jumps as high as $70. Today's drop is the lowest we have ever seen.
Our review gave the Hyperkin Duke a Recommended badge and a perfect 5 stars out of 5. We said "The Hyperkin Duke is a thing of beauty. Monstrous beauty. The original Duke controller was revised pretty early on, as many complained it was too large. The Hyperkin Duke doesn't compromise. It's still huge, but Hyperkin has made various tweaks and improvements that modernize the featureset a bit, without getting in the way of your nostalgic needs."
We later called it the Best Gaming Controller of 2018 in our annual game awards. Needless to say, we like the Duke for what it brings back without sacrificing functionality.
If going back in time isn't up your alley, but you still need a controller, just grab the Xbox One wireless controller for $44 on Amazon.
