    Talking Are you grabbing as many big controllers as you can?

    The Duke is no longer being made, replaced by the S-controller, so I ask, are you picking up as many Dukes as you can?

    I just bought one off of eBay for $16 and I thought that it was a stellar deal. The only controller that I use is the Duke, so I'm trying to get some replacements in case one of mine craps out. I have told my friends that the Duke is no longer being made, but it doesn't seem to register with them.

    PS: If more than one of mine crap out, what is another controller like the Duke?

    There is now that can match the Duke in size or perfection...

    I thought they stopped makin these a long time ago....

    Yeah, I remember when I had a pair of dukes. I fiddled with their joysticks every day. Then I left em laying around and some slut dog bit holes in em. Yeah I was pissed. Now I gotta deal with these crappy "s" controllers. It's sad really...

    hehe I always felt awkward with those S type controlers... but I love the dukes. No controller has ever been that comfortable. It's been with me for at least 15 legendary halo campains and still working like new.

    Seriously, let's make him "Duke," a kick ass "Duke."
    Or "leader formerly known as King," but-- uh-oh he's comin' back...

    Anyway, with that little piece of a song out of the way, I have to say that I have fairly large hands, but I dislike the duke. The S is the best.

    Yeah, they haven't made the Duke for a while now. I hated it anyway. Too big and clumsy for me.

    I have 6 - I've been picking them up for 10 a pop whenever I see them used at a Gamestop or EB - I hate those S controllers with a passion, especially since the dam white and black buttons are moved

    I own a duke from my original xbox. I used to love it but if I go back to it the ABXY buttons are just to close to each other. The analog sticks have better grip with the S also, but it doesnt really matter to me. All my friends like the S so I end up using the duke anyway.

    I've got one Duke, and that's the one I use all the time, except for fighting games. For fighting games I use one of my Madcatz, and I have another one that I won from a giveaway, the Intec Mini, it's actually surprisingly good for some games... But I'll always love my Duke.

    I'm thinking about getting an S soon so that I can play 4-person Halo games.

    I actually prefer the Controller S

    The only time I prefer the "Duke" is for first-person shooters like Halo, but for racing games and action games I find the Controller S way more comfortable.

    masquerade and revel in your opulence.
    writhe unfettered by your stabs at ignorance.
    swim through hues and whispered tones of heresy,
    a dozen strokes to run your blood cold enough to believe
    remember me?

    i like the S controler.
    but the only thing that pisses me off about the thing is that the black and white buttons are in the wrong spot, i press them when i dont want to. they realy should be on the top where they are on the "duke". or where your middle fingers go, that would be a good spot for them

    Have two still in the packaging. Probably pick up used ones if I see 'em.

    Dark will be the day that I'm forced to use the S.
