Current Events > Anybody buy "The Duke" Xbox series X compatible controller?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm fed up with these tiny controllers for ants. Every time I take the right stick to 4oclock I push the up button on the Dpad. This is the same problem I have with the new playstation controller because of the ENORMOUS track pad on the tiny little kiddie controller.

New rule! If you want to put more buttons on the controller. You must enlarge said controller to accommodate said new buttons!

Yes. It was a great controller until the cord developed a short where it inserted into the controller. Only lasted a couple of months for me.

i say it every time, but i WISH to CHRIST they got rid of the duke's SHITTY skewed ABXY buttons

I can deal with the old layout of buttons.
I can't deal with opening photo mode while trying to make hard turns in Forza.

Followup question... What do the white and black buttons do on the new version?

First party controllers are too small for my apparently MASSIVE hands.
You must be a mouse to be able to use them without inadvertently pressing buttons while using the sticks.
And on that note... EW, a mouse!!!

With my hands...
Sorry but I honestly don't know how to answer this without sarcasm.

how do you grip it? do you use the claw? do you have massive hands? I just do not remember using the sticks and hitting other buttons enough to warrant the need for the duke. I just assume it is how you are holding it. My thumbs usually control the sticks and IF I need to use my right stick an hit a button at the same time, I will bring my index finger down and use it if necessary.

My hands are a bit too big for standard controller..

What is this? A controller for ants!?

Oh yea, I temporarily fixed my problem by cutting off the up button with my pocket knife. Took half the screenshot button too, which I also hit all the time.

Sorry for the blurry photo. My phone is potato.
But this is why I always hit the up button.
It's a miracle I don't hit the map button all the time too.

looking at this reminded me of how bulky the first Xbox controllers were. lol

If only they did that for the 360 controller.

I gotcha. I do not think I ever hit the D pad by accident before, I can see it happening with bigger hands than mine though

So that's what the duke from resident evil is based on

LMFAO...
With my newfound confidence that I can't hit the up button that I cut off, I just inadvertently hit the map button.
So much for miracles.
Time to go to bed.

The series x version is still compatible with the Xbox one.
I'm actually still playing on an og Xbox one. But using a sx controller because I wore out three of the old ones and the new one is the same price.

Big meaty claws

I like how even the designers of the controller wound up admitting that they didn't want it to be that big, but they had already purchased so many vibration motors and they wouldn't fit in smaller devices.
