The Duke was awesome. It felt so much better than the flimsy PS2 controller. It was solid and something you could really grasp. Both the GC and PS2 controllers felt like cheap plastic compared to the almighty DUKE.

All of a sudden everybody likes the duke, what the hell? People weren't so amazed at the time, were they? Image

I liked it though. And I never got an S until 2006 or so (when I bought another Xbox) and even then I continued using the oldstyle pad.

I had no problems with the duke when i first got my xbox and even when the S came (which i bought) i stuck to using the duke all the time just because i like it better and had got so use to the shape of it in my hand and they fact that i preferred the black and white buttons up top.

I do like the controller S apart from the black and white buttons mainly because of where they are positioned plus the way they are recessed or feel that way instead of being raised up like on the duke.

The Duke controller was among the best. Yes it was larger than most controllers, but it was comfortable and didn't have any sharp edges (unlike the craptacular Dreamcast controller and Sony junk). Those who complained were mostly limp wristed geeks with small hands.

Why, in the name of Segata Sanshiro, would you play a Saturn game with that rotund chunk of plastic when there's the official Japanese Saturn controller - potentially the best digital controller of all time?!

I mean, honestly, playing with a Duke is like tickling a fat, plastic baby.

Thank you, I'll be here all night.
