Xbox Green ‘Duke’ Controller Now Available For Purchase
Earlier this year, Xbox fans were delighted to hear that gaming peripheral company Hyperkin had committed to resurrecting the console’s iconic ‘Duke’ controller. There was, of course, immediate elation, despite the reveal that only fifteen copies of the green version of the controller would be made, none of which would be available to the public. Now, it appears that Hyperkin has changed its tune due to fan feedback, as the light green version of the controller is now available for purchase!
Announced earlier this year, the Hyperkin ‘Duke’ controller features that classic ‘beefy’ feel, complete with the original Xbox animated startup screen that plays inside the center button. Here’s the breakdown of the features for the Duke:
“Hyperkin has recreated the original Xbox controller aka “Duke” as an officially licensed controller, compatible with the Xbox One family of devices and Windows 10 PCs. The Hyperkin Duke for Xbox One – Wired Controller features the original Xbox startup screen animated inside the center button, precision analog triggers, bumpers, a 3.5 mm headset jack, a 9 ft. detachable USB cable, and the return of the Black (RB) and White (LB) buttons.”
- Classic design featuring the original Xbox animated startup screen played right inside the center button
- Precision analog triggers and bumpers that mirror the Black and White buttons
- Classic X, B, A, Y, LT, RT, Black (RB), and White (LB) button layout (including Option and View buttons)
- Vibration feedback for realistic experiences
- 9 ft. detachable USB cable (required to use controller)
- Original Xbox-style controller for Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs
- 3.5 mm headset jack
The Duke is now available for purchase over at Gamestop for $69.99, right here. The black version of the Duke is also available for purchase for $59.99.
