The Duke News: Original Xbox Controller Is Returning In All Its Emerald Glory





We have many good memories of the Xbox from when it had first released in 2001, but we weren’t too fond of how clunky the controller was. Due to its size, it had dubbed “The Duke,” but it was a staple in Xbox’s history.

Hyperkin had announced that they were having plans of bringing back The Duke and the fans thought it was simply hilarious and a great idea. It was not only the Xbox fans but the team behind this platform, Microsoft was also excited. For March end, can pre-order The Duke.

We had reported the black edition was on its way and we have a video that shows the Duke in a green color.

The Duke will now be available by March courtesy of Xboss Phil Spencer and Hyperkin.

There are a few reports saying that it is possible that the green version will be available for Microsoft employees only but we have not tracked down any proof about that.


Microsoft had shared a video to kick-start their Xbox Inside video segment.
