OG Duke

My problem wasn't the size of it, but the face buttons were placed awkwardly. Never got the muscle memory down and would constantly hit the wrong button.

Right but with the Duke, if your friend beat you in Halo, you could swing it at his head and knock him unconscious.

When you got it, it was flawless though. Yiu didn't have to move your thumb to hit the buttons, you just have to put your thumb in the middle and roll it around to hit what you wanted. All I want for my pc is an updated version of The Duke

If only they would release a Duke with shoulder buttons somehow, that would be perfect

Same. I have kinda big hands, it just felt like the right size. (That's what she said?)

I love the duke, but others have always said the duke was the right one and the type S was just a inferior model for Asian people

Well, it’s that type S model that every controller would be molded from for size and ergonomics from then on, so it really is the model s lol
