LARGO, Fla. - eTradeWire -- Introducing DUKE PRIME™, a custom-engineered PS5 DualSense controller built as a modern tribute to the 2001 Xbox Duke. Released on November 15, 2025, the anniversary of both the first Xbox and Halo: Combat Evolved, DUKE PRIME™ bridges two rival legacies to mark what feels like the end of the console war — and the start of something new.

⚙️ A Heavyweight, Reborn

DUKE PRIME™ merges 2000s Xbox DNA with PS5 precision and modern engineering.
Key features include:

• Neon-green translucent trim with black Pro Grip
• Classic ABXY button layout
• Interchangeable thumbstick tops (concave/convex, multiple heights)
• Optional pro-tier upgrades, including:
  • Mouse-click face buttons
  • Hair triggers
  • Full Mecha configuration (both triggers and face buttons outfitted with mechanical switches)
  • TMR Hall Effect thumbsticks for drift-free precision

Built from two worlds. Reborn for one.

💀 The Cursed Line Continues

Killscreen once again dabbles in the dark arts of controller engineering. Following creations like the CubeSense and GhoulSense, DUKE PRIME™ continues the brand's tradition of "cursed controllers" — hybrid experiments that fuse eras, platforms, and aesthetics that were never meant to coexist.

Rumors already swirl about a Funtastic variant in development, keeping with Killscreen's legacy of pushing retro design into modern hardware.

DUKE PRIME™ is available exclusively through killscreen.io beginning November 15, 2025.
