One thing missed about the 360 controller. Around 2010-2011, the 360 controllers had a transforming D-Pad which you could change to have a better D-Pad or the original 360 D-Pad
It's not that much better though, still feels mostly the same as the original D-pad but you can rotate it so it's more obvious what direction you're trying to use. The real improvement didn't come until the Xbox One.
2:23 That's the whole reason why it exists, to make you move around, unlike the Wii where you can cheat and play sitting down, instead of actually doing some effort. Maybe it doesn't have the most accurate body tracking, but saying it's too exhausting to use it because you move your body to play games (which is the reason that controller exists) is absolutely insane. That's just my opinion, not coming as hate.
For anyone that don't know before Microsoft made consoles they actually partner with Saga with the Dreamcast with the online so I believe that most of their knowledge about consoles really came from them so I wouldn't be surprised at the original Xbox controller is based off Dreamcast since that's all the knowledge they got from console the time
@@YoungMrBlue The word boring is ironic coming from someone clinging onto the dumb fanboy console wars from years ago. All of the consoles are good, play whichever one you want and zip it.
0:25 Kinda funny how you brought up an Apple product for comparison considering how the company that developed the inferred sensing technology for the Kinect was later acquired by Apple, who would later use the tech for Face ID on the newer iPhone and iPad Pro models.
I have heard a rumor that for the giant Xbox logo on the duke controller was going to kinda act like a Dreamcast controller with the opening to see the screen on the VMU, but due to either time constraints or something along those lines the idea was scrapped
You can also customize Xbox controllers on the Xbox Design Lab. -Xbox One S Controller (formerly) -Xbox Series Controller -Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller
Hot take, but the Kinect is extremely underrated. For that tech to drop in 2010 is amazing. The fact that you do have to use your full body is great exercise, opposed to being able to cheese on the Wii. My family still plays Kinect Sports to this day.
it's kinda sad, the kinect could've been really cool but the games really didn't use the kinect and it's tec to the limits, most never even move the kinect up and down to provide more accurate tracking
It’s awesome for you to make videos on Games outside of Nintendo, I would love to see you make videos on games, you have not talked about on your channel before, like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Skylanders, Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, and many others.
He really should have played and talked about the Crash and Spyro Switch games at least, they highly rated and loved by fans, which is more debatable for the post PS1-pre Switch games
Fun Facts: The Xbox One Media Remote also works on the Xbox Series X. And the same can be said for the original Xbox One controllers and it's updated variants.
IIRC the og xbox dvd remote needed that plug because the console does not have a license for dvd playback and that plug held the license so that way they saved a couple of dollhairs on the console
2:45 it does function like any other remote. did you know every remote needs a reciever, thats why you used to control someone elses tv with your remote if they were thesame brand because it was thesame frequency. nowadays the modern remotes are calculated to work on any device you set it up at, even old systems but it still requires a reciever.
Thank you for uploading this probable masterpiece nathaniel candy Edit: it was indeed a banger. That adaptive controller is so sick and i had no idea that it was a thing but i feel so heartwarmed knowing that it is
I actually know a person born without arms or legs. He did not use the special controller and only used the xbox 1 one. He beat the dark souls trilogy without limbs! Only his face!
In my mind, Xbox 360 controller should be top spot due to its durability. I prefer to use Xbox one and series controllers, but they’re just not as durable so I find myself using my 360 controllers on pc to extend the life of my special edition series controllers.

the size of the Duke actually has some more history behind it than just "its big because funny" when boards for the duke were being designed, there wasnt any sort of prototype shell to put them in, nor were the designers given any sort of guidance on what the rough dimensions should be, so the single layer pcb that was made ended up being too big to fit inside the shell that the team responsible for designing it made, given that they didnt have the resources to design a new pcb they just gave the controller a larger shell. this was later changed with the introduction of the japanese xbox controller, which is in turn what the S controller is based on in western markets.
The seres 2 does have two issues, a large batch used low quality bumper triggers, sometimes they Wil fail to respond and eventually die outright, and the rubber parts will start peeling if exposed to heat and moisute. Bonus, easy removal front shell so you can at least fix the second issue if the front shell's rubber starts peeling. They also ALL come with a warranty for a year on purchase.
tbh, back in it´s time the duke was crazy (even for me as a kid). I layed it down and played like this. The black/white button were pretty cool. (games like halo used it for flashlight and stuff) I liked it, even if it was crazy big^^
All of them are great but I think the third party ones are best. I use the Gamesir G7 SE controller. Its layout is a little different but it has Hall effect triggers and analog sticks. The Hall effect means that the parts are magnetic and never touch each other meaning IT CANNOT GET DRIFT. Besides that it has anti friction rings around the analogs so the sticks don’t collect friction while being pushed against the edge. It has two mappable back buttons that you can lock if you don’t want to use them. It has 4 functions that control game audio if you have a wired headset. It has a magnetic faceplate so you can easily access the buttons if they get grime. It’s also paint friendly so you can customize it. It has great grips on the triggers and back of the controller. The only thing it’s missing from a new gen controller is not having a riveted d pad and auxiliary port at the bottom but the d pad is normal so you can control sound output. And it’s cheaper than the normal controller at only 45 dollars! I 💯 recommend it
apparently the story with the duke is that they accidentally ordered their pcbs way too large and some scheduling or financial issue made them decide the best option was quickly prototyping new much larger shells for them. i think the intended design was a lot closer to the Type S controller
There's also the fact that the dongle has an executable on it for the DVD player program. They apparently did this due to some form of licensing issues/to cut costs a bit.
As soon as he started talking about the kinnect control and how tiring it was to use, I started laughing 😂😂😂 at his ranking not once did I ever get tired when playing the kinnect it was for people who were always active it was so easy to control. You didn’t really need the controller and it was so fun playing dance Central.
It's too bad the bumpers on my Series 2 controller aren't really responsive. I have to apply force just for them to function. I tried fixing them but failed.
xbox controller are trash imagine paid $150 for a controller with drift issues with no hall sensor , there some third party controller on the market that are a lot better that sony and xbox
I have never had any problems with the Xbox Kinect I don’t use it a ton but I don’t have issues (I have 2 just dances Kinect adventures and 2 other generic sports games that I can’t remember the names of)
1:52 I actually got to say as somebody who loves the connect and has used it so much. I would say that the Xbox ones is worse for a few reason that normal people wouldn't notice. The thing is the Xbox 360 will actually move around left and right up and down in a lot easier. It has a lot more movement which makes it easier for her to see you move over. It'll turn its camera and if you put it like above your TV it will look down and it will get a huge wide view and work well. Well the Xbox ones can't do that and that's why it has a wider field of view. This is my opinion. I'm just a connect lover that's why I know a lot
I'm a 360 user. This is my ranking of the Xbox controllers (not including (some) spinoff controllers) OG Duke controller I HATE IT Xbox OG S controller Better, but the Start and Back buttons are on the left side Xbox 360 controller Even though i love it, the Dpad is bad Xbox One controller (Almost) the same as the 360s, but better Xbox Elite controller Nice. I love the customization Xbox One X/S Bluetooth controller Same as One Xbox Elite Controller 2 A better version of the Xbox Elite controller Xbox Series X/S controller I have this controller, and i love it
10:06 I personally prefer the Xbox 360 controller over all other controllers because it's smaller feels nicer. I like the start in menu buttons a lot more. The joysticks definitely aren't better but I like how you can turn around the d-pad and get two different types of d-pads. Also, I like how the buttons have that cool look to them I also have to say you have a older controller version of the Xbox 360. The later ones the 2012 and later had this special d-pad that you could move and switch and it is so much better if you decide to get the controller, you'll realize how much nicer it is. I also got to say I like the lights on the Xbox 360 controller a lot more how it tells you what player you are, how it has the circle go around it when it's connected. Overall I think it's a better controller. Also there was even even enough for the OG Xbox that made it so instead of being shiny it was gray. I have all three types
Trust me on this, you don't want the elite 2. The regular series controller is sturdier and the buttons click better. Elite 2 is so mushy and one of its buttons got sticky over time.

It's not that much better though, still feels mostly the same as the original D-pad but you can rotate it so it's more obvious what direction you're trying to use. The real improvement didn't come until the Xbox One.

3:44 it’s actually confirmed that they had to shape it like this due to the shape of the already made motherboard

1:52 I actually got to say as somebody who loves the connect and has used it so much. I would say that the Xbox ones is worse for a few reason that normal people wouldn't notice. The thing is the Xbox 360 will actually move around left and right up and down in a lot easier. It has a lot more movement which makes it easier for her to see you move over. It'll turn its camera and if you put it like above your TV it will look down and it will get a huge wide view and work well.
