Microsoft’s oversized original Xbox controller is being resurrected for the Xbox One

The Duke rides again!

The oversized controller from the original Xbox console — aka “The Duke” — is making a comeback on the Xbox One this holiday season, via Polygon. Accessory maker Hyperkin is partnering with Microsoft to bring back the legendary controller for the Xbox One and Windows 10 devices. The new Duke is a slightly modernized version that will be, for the most part, a “faithful recreation of the original controller's form factor.

For those not familiar with The Duke’s majesty, it came into being alongside the original Xbox when it was released on November 21, 2001 in North America. The Duke remains to this day one of gaming’s most infamous pieces of hardware, considered by most to be comically oversized and dreadfully uncomfortable. The negative feedback led to its eventual replacement by the smaller Xbox Controller S, which was originally designed for the Japanese market.
