Ben Heck is at it again – this time he has taken the original Xbox controller, removed its innards, replacing it with contents from an Xbox 360 wireless controller. The differences between this and an original are extremely subtle – although can tell via the little Xbox Guide button that has been added between the “Back” and “Start” buttons, along with the built-in headset jack. Ben is currently auctioning this beast off to the highest bidder, so if you are hankering after the old Xbox controller while getting your game on with high definition graphics, be prepared to break the bank.

[...] Yeah, we doubt that summary rolled off the average tongue, but regardless, modder extraordinaire Ben Heck has managed to stuff the guts of an Xbox 360 wireless controller into the frame of an original Xbox controller. Often dubbed “The Duke,” the massive device actually proved rather hard to work with, though one may assume that you could actually cram the entire Xbox 360 into this beast with all that room. Nevertheless, the final product actually looks fairly unscathed, save for the tiny, recessed Sync button on the rear, the added Guide button on the front and the headset port at the base, but it sounds like this may be the only one to ever be created by the hands of Mr. Heck. You know what that means — get your bid in or live with unimaginable regret. [Via Coolest-Gadgets] [...]
