Actually the big controller is called the Duke. it was its code name when it was in developement. Just like the Xbox 2 is codenamed Xenon. So its not just a nickname.


yeah, what he said!


Yeah gamecube (aarrggg!) was codenamed swordfish and all of my thought that was the name.

I, on the other hand have big enough hands to harness the greatness of the Duke. Hey, you know what they say about guys with big hands...


Yeah, bigger hands = a smaller... um... 'member'.

Anyway, I like both. I prefer the S-controller, but the Duke is pretty cool. I just really like the placement of the start, back, and black and white buttons on the S, though. If the Duke had those buttons in the the same place as the S it would rule all...

Im right handed, so i like the black and white buttons at the top right, and also i have HUGE hands.=) The madcatz controllers are pretty good, they got rubber on em' so sweaty hands dont ruin gameplay.
and im sad becuase my duke has an fed up right trigger, an fed up A button, and the Left trigger sticks! (all b/c of WAY too enthuiastic halo playing)

The big controller stomps the ass of the little controller. I don't why they quit making it. The small one is just stupid! Excuse me if my hands are bigger then the average fifteen year old Japanese girl. Geez.

Once again the pure logic of GreenChief shines through.

I also do not have small japanese hands, and when I purchased my Xbox loved that fact that for the fist time in my life a company made a controller that fit my hands right outta the box. The Xbox was targeted to a more mature audience at first, but due to the huge popularity with the youngins, they were forced to make a smaller controller the "s" to compete with the aftermarket ones. I think the "s" is great for kids, but men use the Duke.
