What were they thinking with the original controller?

Anyone remember the huge controller the xbox first came out with? Luckily for me I have huge hands and it was never a problem for me. Otherwise they wised up and made the smaller version the standard.

I actually began to use my huge controller exculusively for playing Halo. It just had such a right feel to it.

Re: What were they thinking with the original controller?

I have to admit it looked horrible but it was so comfortable. I wouldn't say I have large hands. I'm 6' and athletic build and the controller fit snug in my hands. I could see where it would be too big for smaller people but the S-type controller was too smal and made me hold it at an awkward position. I firmly believe the Duke design made me play Halo/Halo2 far better. I did eventually switch to the S-type thought because of the dukes faulty connection (where the cord meets the controller, it always bends and breaks after awhile. It was fixed in the S-type with stiffer rubber). I got decent at it but I wasn't as good as I normaly am. After a few months of that I got a new duke and killed again.

I had both the big controller and the Controller S...I really didn't think it was a control when I first saw it...it is huge!
