    It looks like the inbred cousin of the Xbox “Duke” that ended up being surprisingly ergonomical. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I genuinely hope it’s something close to that. Most controllers are too small for me.

      Duke? Is that the Xbox 1 pad? Because I actually loved that. It’s a chunker but was very comfortable for my larger hands. Reminded me a lot about the Dreamcast gamepads.

        Yeah, that’s the one. The Original Xbox Duke and the X360 controller are the GOATs imo. The Xbox One controller is also fairly decent but it took a while to get used to it.

          The 360 & One pad look nearly the same to me in regards to their form. I have a 360 one still and I hate it because the dpad is the absolute worst garbage. It’s inaccurate as hell and gets tiring real quick. Really struggled with that in CrossCode. I also hate how only the Chinese pads seem to have hall sensors.

            Fair enough, but the dpad on the 360 one was an improvement compared to the one from the Duke.

            I was mostly ranking them in regards to general ergonomics. The Xbox One controller just feels more “slippery”, the 360 had a better feel to it, probably because the handles were more rounded.

        It’d be cool if controllers could just be adjustable size

        True, especially in width. I remember being extremely disappointed when I bought a PS3 and could barely play it because the joysticks so close together that my thumbs were constantly touching. I think the total amount of hours played on this system was somewhere in the double digits. Biggest waste of money of my gaming career.
