Xbox One DUKE Wired Controller Now Available For Pre-Order

The Xbox One DUKE Wired Controller by Hyperkin is now available for pre-order. Releasing in early April 2018.

The Duke was not a bad controller, it was just far too large for most people to hold comfortably.

Double_O_Revan3018d ago

I never understood the hate for the duke. I thought it was very comfortable, and I have small hands.

The white/black buttons were placed terribly

iNcRiMiNaTi3018d ago

Yeah the black/white button were my biggest issue which was fixed once the S controller came out

CrimsonIdol3018d ago

Yeah it was fine, more comfortable than a ps2 controller for me. But yeah, criticism of the white/black buttons is fair and I don't really see why you'd go back to this over, say the S controller. When I had to switch to shoulder buttons on the 360 I struggled more though, I still find it kind of awkward occasionally because trigger fingers on triggers seems much more natural than using your middle fingers so it's always doing that re-adjustment so you use your index fingers for both ...but I guess that's a bit of a moot point when you're defending a control scheme that requires you to use your thumb for 7 buttons and a joystick haha.

Same here. Best unbreakable controller to date. Microsoft should re-release the wireless version

Razzer3017d ago

I hated that thing. The improvement with the 360 controller was huge.

mikeslemonade3017d ago

The controller was exaggerated for the size. It fit fine when I was in the 9th grade in highschool. It was mainly a Japanese complaint, which they would complain about anything about the xbox.

Microsoft has been next to flawless with controller designs. That's what they are good for.

I think it's cool that MS is paying it's history respect like this. But that controller was dog shit lol.

Zeref3018d ago

Lol its either people absolutely hate it or love it to death.

I'm on the love side. Mostly because I have big hands. Might definitely pick this up.

The_Jackel3018d ago (Edited 3018d ago )

Not for me. I hated that controller with passion and the size of the Xbox for what was in it. Think I played midtown madness 3 the most on it by memory with friends stuffing around.... don't know why:/

Cy3018d ago

I'll get one at some point, but I'm already dreading how hard it's gonna be to use those abysmal black and white buttons after more than a decade of shoulder button muscle memory.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing16d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit16d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing16d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9216d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
