Not UIQ though? Haven't seen it in the repo, not that I've looked very hard though.

The Duke

I actually love the OG Xbox Duke. I have fairly large hands, and that's the chunky controller seats really really well in my hands. I also have controller S, and while the connection to 360's controller is obvious, I still prefer to use the Duke.

Also, story of the Duke is board manufacturer screwed up, so they had to package the huge board into the case.

Re: "a lot of power merely amplifies mistakes"

Most of the new cars are waaaaaaay above that. Even base engines.

Keep in mind that cars have gotten chunky over time, and 80hp in 2021 is not the same thing as 80hp in 1971. Brand new VW Golf weights about as much as 90s executive car. In a modern car 80hp, it would be glacial, and would take 3 days to get up to motorway cruising speed.
