Xbox One Duke Controller - Created by Hyperkin
"The Duke" (officially named the Xbox controller) was the first controller to be bundled with the original Xbox. It was mass-produced from the early 2000s to the mid-2000s. The Duke controller was sold in most countries except Japan.
The Duke is renowned as the world's largest controller and was credited as such in the Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition 2008.
Development[]
Before being released, the Duke had a prototype model known as the Dakota Pad. The Dakota Pad was very large, just like The Duke.
Seamus Blackley was a video game developer for Xbox and helped design an early prototype controller. According to Blackley, the Duke got its name from the lead hardware designer, Brett Schnepf, who named it after his son, Duke Schnepf.
Xbox One remake[]
Due to popular demand, the Hyperkin Duke controller was created. Microsoft worked with Hyperkin on the new model, and it was released in mid-2018.
The Duke for the Xbox One is the same shape and size as the original, but the controller has additional buttons, such as left and right bumpers. There are also no memory card slots on the controller because they are not needed with the Xbox One. On the original Duke, the Xbox logo in the center was just a sticker; however, on the Xbox One version, the logo is replaced with an LED screen that displays the original Xbox startup screen when turned on and the original Xbox logo when used.
