Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Xbox Duke controller price tag

Azuren on 13 January 2018

I'd pay for it. The Duke is one of my all-time favorite controllers (I have big hands).

For something you don't care about, you are awfully annoyed. It is like me being annoyed by how much Rolls Royce or some exotic niche car costs. *shrugs*

Well, isn't this a video game forum? Where people expose their thoughts about video game related stuff.? This is just a topic that I thought it would be worthy of discussion. It doesn't matter if the controller price annoys me or not, this is all about the discussion of the subject.

I think it's great and 70$ is certainly not overpriced for something that probably ship at most 100k and is made for the fans. You may call it a collection control just like special collection editions are made for games that cost 150$ or more that comes with some artbook and a figurine.

Yes, It's the Nes Classic of controllers, nothing wrong with a bit of nostalgia.

XBOX classic confirmed! lol. Only difference is instead of making the hardware smaller...

I hated the Controller S that thing was an abomination. 

I'm starting to feel like I've slipped into an alternate universe.

The Controller S was too small and had terrible button placement. For the life of me I don't know why people like that controller. I mean even if you have smaller hands, the controller S still has inferior button placement.

People complaining about $70? Please... That's how much normal controllers cost. It'll be $90 for me according to the article.

For that behemoth of a controller, no way. I couldn't even wrap my fingers around that thing when it 1st demoed in stores. It was pretty terrible for me.

Look at the placement of the White and Black buttons. How can anyone like this thing? Seriously. Terrible controller. Uncomfortable, tiny, and horrible button placement.

Oh this isnt an official MS controller? I thought MS were making it.
Now i dont care for it

You know, you could just take an original duke cut the cord and twist the wire into a USB cord and plug it into an XBO and possibly use it a USB controller. The original Xbox controller cords were USB wires with a different connector. If my PC recognizes my Switch pro controller then I don't doubt that would work and be far less expensive.
