Anyone know where I can get a XBOX DUKE controller?

[doubledown]

Ok, I was playing MVP BAseball last night, when it said my controller was disconnected.....huh, nope....anyways, after further investigation, I noticed that it was frayed at the very top of the controller. It appears that one of the wires was cut. I DO wrap my controllers up, but I try not to make them that tight. I know I've used it for a while.....but I was a little disappointed. I still have one BIG ASS controller left...but I want another now for backup.

Anyone know any good deals or if you can even find a NEW one anywherE? I don't want a used controller....that just seems a bit gross.

Found the following on eBay that list them as "new/sealed":

There's more of them, though that's the only new one listed:

Also, is there any way to FIX these? I would need a new cable....but it's probably a bitch to attach

I guess you could try splicing it back together and just hope that all the wires that snapped are exposed. then use tape and hope that it holds it all together?

You can get The Duke used for $22.99 at EB. ($17.24 a/c)

If you really want a new one, check B&M stores in your area. Many department stores still have them laying around, like Walmart, Target, etc. You'll bump into one eventually.

Also, here is a guide for repairing your controller's cord. There is also a link there for simply replacing the entire cord with a good one.

i wish they would remake the old controllers with the d-pad and anolog sticks from the s-controller. the duke was the perfect size and they were sturdy as hell.... both mine still work perfectly but my s-controller is dead. i even once had my duke controller in the car and the wire was OUT the car door while driving lol, the part that plugs into the xbox is gone, but i just got a new 1 and bent the part that connects to that in the right shape, and it worx perfectly lol.

Ok. I just found out they are called "Duke". My question is....why???? All my time on these boards, and my brother just brought this to my attention? Is it a take on "dookie", or what?

 

[Mr. Anderson]

I call them the Controller Type F (for fatty). I love my Type F. I can't use a Type S worth shit.
