LMAO I founf my xbox controller the 1 gen one

what were they thinking ?????????????:lol: I cant belive I used to play halo and doa3 with this thing its a beast

I remember playing Mad Dash with my friend. It was the first game I played, and I couldn't even grasp the controller.

I still own and use 2 functioning 1st-gen Xbox controllers. They were built very well.

"The Duke" seems easier to use than the "S" to me. Mainly due to button placement changes they made on the "S".

I can use it fine but man its hige I cant imagine little kids playing with this

My friends and I would call it the man controller and the smaller version the girl controller. I hated the small model and now that is what 360 uses, good thing I pc game.

Microsoft may have thought that "people will feel they are getting their money's worth a bigger controller", but when I tried to use this controller, it was very uncomfortable

One of the reasons I never considered buying an Xbox. You might as well be holding a brick...Nyxathid_Horror

Ive always used the Duke. It was compfortable for me and I have normal size hands. I never even bought an S controller. People made way too big a deal over it.

call me crazy...but i liked it

The Duke seemed to be like a hybrid of Microsoft's original Sidewinder gamepad and the one used with the Sega Dreamcast.

With 360, my preferred pad for use on the PC - it's like a mix of the sidewinder and the PS2 Dual-Shock 2.

I have big hands so I like that controller a lotcovertgamer78

Yeah my friend always said the same thing. I hated it but he preferred it over the smaller one.

I've got a couple of those. I bought my x-box almost around when the 360 came out, so I needed to get them used. I played with them at my friends houses though and I can remember thinking they were gigantic, but useable. I definately like the new ones better, but the odl ones are ok in my opinion.

I have huge hands...so I loved that controller

Its for men, it was secretly made that way to discourage women from playing Halo Combat Evolved. We would not want women knowing how to tea-bag, or how to hit someone in the back.... Do we?

What a horrible controller... fanboys who loved that thing and proclaimed it the best controller ever turned me off to ever buying an Xbox.MAILER_DAEMON

Akebono (S-type) was much better for me...The Duke was always unuseable because it was HUGE!

I liken the original controller ( which i still have) to playing videogames while holding a loaf of bread.

That controller is the reason you always saw professional athletes playing XBox instead of Playstation: professional athletes, by and large, have huge hands.

I'll let you know when the original xbox becomes old enough where this is worth posting.. you should aim for about 2015-2020.

The Duke!darksword1123

I love your signature picture :D

Beneath a Steel Sky=awesome game

Back on topic, never tried the fat controller, but the 'slim one' is very good, can't really complain.

I cant beliee i played crimpson skies with that thing
