We’re one step closer to having an original Xbox Duke controller on Xbox One.
Original Xbox designer Seamus Blackley is currently working for peripheral company Hyperkin, building a replica of the 17-year-old controller.
Recently, the new Duke has celebrated a major milestone, having its final prototype approved by Microsoft.
