Microsoft resurrects the Xbox Duke controller, which will be compatible with PC and Xbox One

Microsoft resurrects the Xbox Duke, the original controller of the company's first console, which comes back to life renewed in terms of connectivity and components and will be compatible with the Xbox One and Windows 10 computers.

Retro is becoming a trend, you just have to see how the Nintendo NES, in its modernized edition, has triumphed and this year, in principle, the Atari returns, with modern hardware and renewed features, but with a classic design. The last to partially join this fever has been Microsoft, who will launch the classic Xbox Duke controller, the huge controller that was developed for the first Xbox console and that will have a USB interface, so that it is not only compatible with the Xbox One , but also with PC, as long as you use Windows 10.

The resemblance to the past is minimal, I leave the thickness and the design, which although they are similar to the original, the components are completely new, with the intention of giving this controller the best capabilities and characteristics for gaming, The components are new , but the internal situation and the shape of these are very similar to the originals. The memory slot, now useless, has been removed from the middle and a USB port has been put in and in addition, two small buttons have been integrated in the upper corners, to make it fully compatible with current games.

It also changes the central area, where the logo is, since an OLED screen has been placed, which, when we press it, reproduces the classic Xbox One startup animation. This new Xbox Duke will arrive sometime in March Although the exact date has not been specified, it has been revealed that this remote will cost $ 69.99. This is for now all we know about this new command. The truth is that it is curious that they are releasing it to the market, hopefully it is somewhat lighter than the original.
