[@Official_Riley77]

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

[@YoungMrBlue]

Yes thank you, also the blue version of that is the best 360 controller

[@JackStavris]

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.

[@Jaxtheglitch24]

Dude I have a gold 360 controller that can do that and it’s so fun to fidget with during cutscenes

[@pokeydjgamer2006]

And the Xbox 360 controller doesn’t have motion controls while the DualShock 3 and Wii Remote do

[@YoungMrBlue]

@@pokeydjgamer2006 it’s got comfort while the DualShock 3 doesn’t One thing Xbox is constantly doing right

[@antxnioo]

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.

[@AllOfTheAbove777]

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

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.

I'm glad you finally found out about the redesigned OG Xbox controller.

[@cthulhu_sebs]

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

[@Taken_Alpha]

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

[@SaturnDX1]

I have not watched you in a while. Im glad your still doing ranking videos.

[@Honcho_SMP]

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

[@ThrasheReyes]

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.

[@Microwavesox]

It’s great that the adaptive controller exists, good that these corporations are making the products as accessible as possible!

[@coreythebludragon1986]

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.

[@darthvader473]

[@squanktheduck7909]

My family used the xbox one Kinect to call our grandparents through skype because the camera was really good so I guess it was good at that

[@himofn]

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.

[@staringcorgi6475]

It’s only a dance central/just dance machine imo

[@Pokemonika_]

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

[@Meowmaritus]

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

[@zsomborhun8105]

The Duke was that big because the circuit boards were manufactured before the design was finalized.

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.

[@pumpkinbricks1609]

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.

The whole purpose of kinect is to move your body around and get exercise while playing videogames

[@antoniolewit7852]

For anyone thinking about buying the Xbox elite, if you live in a relatively cold area I would recommend getting it. If you live in an area where is 80 degrees all year round and you have no ac I’d reconsider. It turns out that the rubber grips are cheap and will expand in hot environments and it will get fucked up to the point of getting in the way of playing. The easy fix at the cost of it looking tacky is to cut the bubble down the middle overlap the rubber, then cut off the excess so it’s flush and gorilla glue it down

The original 360 controller is one of the best of all time. The black one you showed is one of the cheaper quality layer models, but the original white and grey one was so good. Microsoft has always made very durable and high quality pads, besides that black one from the later 360 years.

What about the revised version of the 360 controller Witt a changeable dpad

[@seabicuit7247]

As someone with big hands, I didn’t mind the duke’s size. The white/black buttons felt unnecessary. Also I can’t criticize the logo not being a button when most controllers just used it as a logo space until the 360/ps3 gen. For my money the 360 was their best controller. The dpad was awful but it wasn’t used that often at least in games I played. It’s disappointing but I haven’t liked the Xbox controllers since the Xbox one on. When they slightly changed the shape of the bottom of the controllers, they became too small around the handles so my fingers are cramped. They also made the center of the thumbsticks smaller. The only solution to the thumbsticks is to buy the elite to get the “classic” thumbsticks or to buy covers. I hope one day they make a slightly bigger controller with an option to have the classic thumbsticks, but they seem to believe they perfected their controller with this design.

[@spunchii134]

I enjoyed The Duke. It felt like the perfect size for me.
