Neil writes: "Created in collaboration with Xbox and 343 Industries, the team at Hyperkin has announced that they'll be releasing some rather tasty Limited and Special Edition Duke controllers, with the Cortana Limited Edition being the utter highlight - and you don't need us to tell you that it is an absolute purple beast."

Very cool. I have the green duke they made and will gladly pick up these.

I forgot how awkwardly placed all those buttons were.

Still one of my favorites controllers overall. Extremely comfortable for my hands.Unfortunately the Hyperskin version is ridiculously expensive in my region. To the point that you can actually get yourself a Xbox Series controller and a Dual Sense for the same price.

@Vits For me, no way! When playing Halo at a friend's the Duke was always unwieldily big. I didn't buy my original Xbox at launch I bought it when it had the refined smaller controllers, and they were great. It's funny to think how the designed was refined and then went next level with the 360 controller.

Vits1358d ago

Totally fair.
I know very few that share my like for this controller. And the 360 is still one of my go to controllers for a lot of PC games. It's a shame that finding an original one in good condition is so difficult these days.

I enjoyed the duke as well, then again I have large hands. When the S controller came out, it didnt take much to get used to it (except the placement of the b/w buttons) but Id say 360 was their magnum opus.

I really like the design....well done.

Tempting... but I have to say I am more of an arcade deluxe cab fan. I loved the ones for Galaxy Force, Thunder Blade and After Burner.
