Ahhhhh, the original Xbox pad. What a vast colossal beast that was. Given that Hyperkin have just launched a new version of it, I felt it was time to look at this controllers history, before taking the new one for a ride.

After all, it's not cheap. 

But it is quite cheerful.

The Xbox Duke Controller | Nostalgia Nerd

The original Xbox "Fatty" controller is back. Otherwise known as the Xbox Duke controller, 2018 sees an updated release of the 2001 classic, designed for Xbox ONE and Windows 10 PCs. I paid £69.99 for this massive piece of plastic, mainly because of... nostalgia... but the question is, how does it compare to the original, and is it worth the hefty price tag? Whilst we're here let's also take a look at the Duke's story, how it came to be, how Seamus Blackley brought it back and how the original pad was riddled with design issues, leading to its paramount size. ** For exclusive videos, mystery boxes and other rewards, please consider supporting me at; https://www.patreon.com/nostalgianerd?ty=h ** ☟Sharing☟ If you wish to share this video in forums, social media, on your website, *please do so*!

Damn that little screen with the logo is cool! A shame it doesn't do anything else... even running a contant screen saver style thing would be cool. TBH I never really liked the big pad though, swapped it out for an S pad as soon as they were made available for sale. But from a historical interest point, this pad is tempting me!

I don't know if it's just because he's British, but your son sounds like a goddamn genius for a seven year old. At seven, I couldn't have figured out an Xbox controller, much less given it a rating. I also would have had chocolate and Doritos matted in my hair.
