Valve did a bit of a woops here, as they recently accidentally leaked the designed for what looks like their upcoming Steam Controller 2 and a new VR controller that is likely to come with the long leaked Deckard VR headset.
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.
I only used the Duke on the actual Xbox, while I use my current pad on my PC - or at least very rarely. There’s generally more games on the PC where I can make use of the dpad (retro & indie gaming). Never really had to use it on the Xbox back then.
