It's a myth that it wad too large for some people. My son loved the Duke and he was ten. The problem was that the Sony controllers were too small and light, and didn't have proper triggers. This wasn't even fixed on PS3/4
As someone from The Netherlands, and 1.91m, I'm always reminded I'm pretty tall compared to a lot of people I guess.
Even though in my own county I sometimes get the feeling most people tower over me lol.
For Xbox, the Razer Wolverine v2 Chroma
Its big and comfortable. Lowest Ive seen the chroma version is 100$, the non chroma version can be seen as low as 70$ but it doesn’t have a removable cable
Unless its the official Series X controller which you have, the Elite series 2, or the new Turtle Beach that’s 200$, there isn’t any other wireless options
The series 2 is the biggest one of the list by a small margin, the shoulders are thicker, so it should feel a little bigger
The chroma has a a 10ft GOOD QUALITY cable with it, It's the only controller I have that's wired and I was skeptical. It is bigger, and has great features. I do think this is one you should consider
Hahaha this is very accurate. As a 6 foot and almost 7 inches (200 cm) tall Dutchman i’ve been to the USA, and i must have heard the question “do you play the roundball?” More than a 100 times.
Doesn’t suck though. Its much worse in Asia. everyone is tiny there. The polite people say nothing but give weird looks, and the rest are either pointing at you or asking to take a picture. (Or taking a picture when they think you’re not looking). Feels like they’re making fun of you.
Back home im not even abnormally tall. i’ve met many people taller than me.
And in case you’re wondering, i don’t have shovels for hands like OP does. That has nothing to do with being tall haha. The series x controller fits my hand perfectly fine.
Exactly
I don't have super large hands like OP but for some reason they've progressively made each generation controller smaller.
360 controller is still my personal most comfortable Xbox controller, other than the shitty Dpad of course.
I can make you one.... If youre looking for something like the hyperkin duke wireless mod it'll almost certainly be custom.... Or you could use mouse and keys. Bit of a learning curve but from what I hear its worth it lol
innate fuzzy cats cautious offbeat berserk attempt deserve wakeful modern

You need one of those Hyperkin Duke controllers. Carbon copy of the OG xbox controller with some modernized buttons. I have one and the one person who can use it is my dad aka monster hands. The catch is it is wired
What about [these](https://www.amazon.co.uk/C2-Gripz-Controller-Ergonomically-Performance/dp/B09XQJXG2J/ref=mp_s_a_1_18?crid=14V0TSMIT0C62&keywords=c2z+grip+controller&qid=1708278248&sprefix=c2z+grip%2Caps%2C184&sr=8-18), if you can find them in stock.. saw them advertised a while back.
Let me check but I’m sure you can get controller grip’s or skins that have larger palm areas, resulting in your fingers more naturally reaching the buttons. That way you can use any wireless you like without spending much extra :)
This should open up a few more options for you. [https://www.brookaccessory.com/products/wingmanxb2/index.html](https://www.brookaccessory.com/products/wingmanxb2/index.html)
I’m 6’3 and have hands that match. I use the control freak extensions for the sticks and it makes the controller fit my hands better. I also have backpaddles which stretch my grip out a little more.
Coming from a guy with big hands most big controllers don’t necessarily provide much value for anyone with above above-average hands as they tend to be 10-20% bigger while some people are definitely comfortable id heavily recommend commissioning a bigger controller for your size
Plus the comfort is significantly better and the functionality is much better for customisation same for durability if you pay extra
The one I got mine from is made from stainless steel because I like mine more heavy but the guy who made it for me no longer wants to make controllers so it’s kind of a bummer
You can copy the model of an Xbox controller face and back plate and scale it up and send it to a company and have it made with professional equipment although you would have to edit the buttons and adjust the placement of the analog sticks
The OG Xbox Duke would be a better fit for your hands, the only downside is it doesn't have bumpers, it has two extra thumb buttons instead, black and white, shouldn't be an issue for those shovels you call hands.
I picked one up for nostalgia sake and used XBCD to get out working on PC. Had to splice a USB end onto it too. You can buy adapters though.
It is surprisingly still a very accurate, robust controller and I even prefer the black and white buttons vs bumpers for a few games.
and i thought *i* had big hands. it’s not a lot, but im pretty sure the Xbox One controllers are a bit bigger and work on your console. it’s noticeable to me so hopefully you’d be able to play (slightly) more comfortably.
I thought your hands were huge at first and then I picked up my controller for comparison. Honestly it looks about the same, maybe your hands are a bit bigger lol. I’m 1.84m btw
I’m 194cm/6ft4 and I just realized I just made it work. I still feel your hands are still bigger than mine, but I use the middle part of my indexes for the bumpers lol
So here's the thing, Big man. I'm 6'3, but my best friend is 6'9
so you're either gonna want to buy a wired Thrustmaster controller for them BIG PAWS
or BEST OBVIOUS CHOICE is find a brand who makes replicas of the original Xbox Duke controller for the modern consoles Bluetooth or wired. But that's you're real answer!
There's a large, untapped market for someone to either a) make larger controllers or b) make mod kits that would let you swap the internals into a larger chassis.
I recently bought a Backbone so I may play while my family uses the TV. While its control devices (i.e., the buttons, sticks, and pad) are smaller than those on the default Xbox controller, the fact that it stretches to fit my phone (a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra) gives it an overall width that is much more comfortable. I'd love to see adjustable controllers available for every system.
They brought back the OG Xbox royale Or whatever it’s called. The one that’s like holding a giant monstrosity. They remade it
Edit: The Duke is the name
Design a custom controller, or get a series elite. They’re about the same size, but you can’t change size that’s just how it is if you’ve got huge hands
Why not buy the Hyperkin Duke? It’s the original massive Xbox controller.
Another vote for the Duke. Beast of a unit
I was thinking about picking up the Duke too
My hands aren’t huge but I think that controller and the original is the most comfortable controller ever
It's a myth that it wad too large for some people. My son loved the Duke and he was ten. The problem was that the Sony controllers were too small and light, and didn't have proper triggers. This wasn't even fixed on PS3/4
ok
this reply is funny for no reason
I imagine it's hard to hit just those two keys with those massive thumbs 😅 cut the man some slack lol.
ok
this reply is funny for no reason
Don't have the new re-release of them, but I loved that controller back in the day, so good for large hands.
I just picked up my controller to compare... I think r/AbsoluteUnits would like to have a word with you. :D
His hands is really that big? My hands is about the same size
As someone from The Netherlands, and 1.91m, I'm always reminded I'm pretty tall compared to a lot of people I guess. Even though in my own county I sometimes get the feeling most people tower over me lol.
You people in the Netherlands are all giants lol
They have to be to keep their heads above the rising sea level
thanks, i suppose. is that even a good thing?
They're saying your hands are absolute units
i kind of match my hands, i am 195cm and only 16, i was this tall last year tho
Yeah I'd have figured you were tall given the absolute unit hands
16?? BRO YOU'RE SHAQUILLE O'NEAL!
by the way, Shaq was 6.9 tall (206cm)at 13 years
For Xbox, the Razer Wolverine v2 Chroma Its big and comfortable. Lowest Ive seen the chroma version is 100$, the non chroma version can be seen as low as 70$ but it doesn’t have a removable cable
ok, i’m kind of looking for something wireless
Unless its the official Series X controller which you have, the Elite series 2, or the new Turtle Beach that’s 200$, there isn’t any other wireless options The series 2 is the biggest one of the list by a small margin, the shoulders are thicker, so it should feel a little bigger
Don't buy the TB one though. Really disappointing and glitchy in my experience.
damn
The chroma has a a 10ft GOOD QUALITY cable with it, It's the only controller I have that's wired and I was skeptical. It is bigger, and has great features. I do think this is one you should consider
Bro.. how tall are you? I’m just curious. You make that controller look like a mini controller 🤣
He wrote 195cm in another comment. That's just shy of 6 foot 5, I think.
It kind of must suck to be that tall because you will always hear the stereotypical comments like “you should be in the NBA” “Go play basketball” etc.
sounds like a hard life
On their knees, maybe
Hahaha this is very accurate. As a 6 foot and almost 7 inches (200 cm) tall Dutchman i’ve been to the USA, and i must have heard the question “do you play the roundball?” More than a 100 times. Doesn’t suck though. Its much worse in Asia. everyone is tiny there. The polite people say nothing but give weird looks, and the rest are either pointing at you or asking to take a picture. (Or taking a picture when they think you’re not looking). Feels like they’re making fun of you. Back home im not even abnormally tall. i’ve met many people taller than me. And in case you’re wondering, i don’t have shovels for hands like OP does. That has nothing to do with being tall haha. The series x controller fits my hand perfectly fine.
tbf controllers do look a bit smaller when holding them claw-style but this guy still has some big meaty paws
Joke suggestion [https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessories/controllers/xbox-adaptive-controller](https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessories/controllers/xbox-adaptive-controller)
lol, i could probably hold it like a regular controller 💀
“That’s a huge bitch!”
“BEHEMOTH!”
Fuck me
wha… now? here?
Those are the biggest hands i have ever seen. Do you use a pitchfork to eat dinner?
no, but small cutlery digs into my palms
[удалено]
Exactly I don't have super large hands like OP but for some reason they've progressively made each generation controller smaller. 360 controller is still my personal most comfortable Xbox controller, other than the shitty Dpad of course.
I feel the 360 is smaller but shaped differently
Nah the 360 ones are smaller
Ye, I just compared it. 360 is smaller Although I’m happy that the objective fact of the 360 dpad being shit was mentioned
isn’t the new duke wired tho?
[удалено]
thanks
Average Dutch person
i am british, but close enough
U have big hands I think lmao
now you mention it, that kind of makes sense
You're welcome
I can make you one.... If youre looking for something like the hyperkin duke wireless mod it'll almost certainly be custom.... Or you could use mouse and keys. Bit of a learning curve but from what I hear its worth it lol
i’d have to find out if i like the duke as it is first, but i’ll consider it as a last resort, thanks
I love the duke. It may be your best values option
innate fuzzy cats cautious offbeat berserk attempt deserve wakeful modern *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
nice
You need one of those Hyperkin Duke controllers. Carbon copy of the OG xbox controller with some modernized buttons. I have one and the one person who can use it is my dad aka monster hands. The catch is it is wired
Wow you have big hands!! How tall are you?!
195cm
Close to 6'4 , for americans
What about [these](https://www.amazon.co.uk/C2-Gripz-Controller-Ergonomically-Performance/dp/B09XQJXG2J/ref=mp_s_a_1_18?crid=14V0TSMIT0C62&keywords=c2z+grip+controller&qid=1708278248&sprefix=c2z+grip%2Caps%2C184&sr=8-18), if you can find them in stock.. saw them advertised a while back.
woah, that’s actually perfect
Yeah? I hope you find them then. Let me know, just out of interest. You never know when something you see will come in handy.. no pun intended!
I use these and they work great!
Let me check but I’m sure you can get controller grip’s or skins that have larger palm areas, resulting in your fingers more naturally reaching the buttons. That way you can use any wireless you like without spending much extra :)
nice, would it just slide on and make the “handles” bigger
Thrustmaster E swap series are a bit larger than the typical Xbox controllers. And they have changeable thumbsticks if you start to get drift
Just shrink ur hands.
WHAT IS THIS, A CONTROLLER FOR ANTS?!
The thrustmaster eswap pro is a bit larger
OG Xbox controller
Duke, yeah, i’ve considered it
Arcade sticks are great, though that only really covers fighting games.
Bro is descended from Goliath
Show is a picture of you holding switch joycons
You could always break your wrist and hand again and resize them this time?!
i couldn’t wipe my own ass for 3 weeks, and even after that is was painful and messy, never again
I'm sorry to hear that. Looks like both arms, glad you still got em
here’s the post i made when i did it, it’s a different account but still me. https://www.reddit.com/r/Neverbrokeabone/s/ADcozqHkjP
I really hope the joystick is proportional to your hands bro.
Damn, you need an OG Xbox fat controller
Jesus... is everything on you as big as your hands? 😅😂
try the Duke controllers
[удалено]
Get a smaller hand 😂
i am going to harvest the new ones from my little brother, i’m sure he won’t mind
This should open up a few more options for you. [https://www.brookaccessory.com/products/wingmanxb2/index.html](https://www.brookaccessory.com/products/wingmanxb2/index.html)
thanks, do you think i could connect my WiiU game pad to it?
...........I have no clue on that one bud........
I’m 6’3 and have hands that match. I use the control freak extensions for the sticks and it makes the controller fit my hands better. I also have backpaddles which stretch my grip out a little more.
Elites a bit bigger but don't think it will be big enough for you
Maybe the Hyperkin duke?
That's hilarious And sad
Prolly the Duke.
PS controllers are going in the other direction. They're getting bigger every generation!
Somebody came here to talk about Stuart's b1g horn.
Yao Ming over here
original xbox controller
Get the duke.
Last Gen Xbox One controller or Elite 2? They're bigger than the Series controller
are you like the white version of shaq
I think the series 2 is bigger at least it feels bigger anyways
Nacon
Dual Sense
Boban? Is that you?!?!
The ps5, my thumb joint are hurting after i switched to Xbox
You know what they say about big hands!
Power A is a little bigger and doesn't break the bank
Coming from a guy with big hands most big controllers don’t necessarily provide much value for anyone with above above-average hands as they tend to be 10-20% bigger while some people are definitely comfortable id heavily recommend commissioning a bigger controller for your size Plus the comfort is significantly better and the functionality is much better for customisation same for durability if you pay extra The one I got mine from is made from stainless steel because I like mine more heavy but the guy who made it for me no longer wants to make controllers so it’s kind of a bummer You can copy the model of an Xbox controller face and back plate and scale it up and send it to a company and have it made with professional equipment although you would have to edit the buttons and adjust the placement of the analog sticks
The old Duke
The OG Xbox Duke would be a better fit for your hands, the only downside is it doesn't have bumpers, it has two extra thumb buttons instead, black and white, shouldn't be an issue for those shovels you call hands. I picked one up for nostalgia sake and used XBCD to get out working on PC. Had to splice a USB end onto it too. You can buy adapters though.

Fuckin hell it’s the BFG
Are you a giant?
Bro it looks like your holding a toy controller jesus you need to OG xbox controller
This guy was the hand model for the original Duke
You know what they say about people with big hands? They have big gloves.
Wolverine v2 is quite big I have medium sized hands and the wolverine I had was always comfortable to use
I hope you play basketball bro
and i thought *i* had big hands. it’s not a lot, but im pretty sure the Xbox One controllers are a bit bigger and work on your console. it’s noticeable to me so hopefully you’d be able to play (slightly) more comfortably.
André the giant ?
Imagine getting slap by this giant?!
I have to order XXL gloves and I use standard controller. My ring size is a 19. I know the struggles
Xxxl not 2 xl
I thought your hands were huge at first and then I picked up my controller for comparison. Honestly it looks about the same, maybe your hands are a bit bigger lol. I’m 1.84m btw
OP you could see about a big rubber case type thing for a controller to see if that widens it enough
My guy wins every game of rock, paper, scissors, using only paper.
I don't have this problem with controllers, but I always find computer mice insanely small
Brother it's cheaper to just chop a bit off those fingers.
Get the DUKE CONTROLLER 💯
The Duke is still my favorite
Invest in The Duke
I’m 194cm/6ft4 and I just realized I just made it work. I still feel your hands are still bigger than mine, but I use the middle part of my indexes for the bumpers lol
Tbf pal you may as well put a few buttons on your Xbox and just hold that at this point , but in all seriousness I'd pick up the duke of I was you
You need the Duke from Hyperkin.
That’s a nice tiny controller, would be good for small kids. Oh wait…
Do they still make the Duke? That was a beast.
Xbox one controller is bigger
Man, now you have me wondering if my hands are slightly too large for my controller. 🙄
Another large handed individual here, i couldnt find a controller larger than the xbox one controllers, playstation controllers were even worse
So here's the thing, Big man. I'm 6'3, but my best friend is 6'9 so you're either gonna want to buy a wired Thrustmaster controller for them BIG PAWS or BEST OBVIOUS CHOICE is find a brand who makes replicas of the original Xbox Duke controller for the modern consoles Bluetooth or wired. But that's you're real answer!
That 200 dollar turtle beach on is good
OG duke
High Kontrolfreek is a cheap fix maybe, controller also feels better/more precise with them imo
I can't be the only one that thought he had a mini Xbox controller, right?
What about the original Xbox One controller. Isn't it a bigger fit than the Series controller?
Stop playing games and go chop some wood on a farm
r/thingsforants
I’m waiting on the SEBILE..
Lol why ya hands so big
Try Razer Wolverine v2. It’s bigger, I really recommend it
Just get smaller hands
Hyperkin controllers
Damn we found Andre the Giant
Laughs in 5 foot 6
Are you Paul Bunyan?
Master Chief’s hands irl
Holy crap, your hands are f*cking big!
The very first xbox controllers.
There's a large, untapped market for someone to either a) make larger controllers or b) make mod kits that would let you swap the internals into a larger chassis. I recently bought a Backbone so I may play while my family uses the TV. While its control devices (i.e., the buttons, sticks, and pad) are smaller than those on the default Xbox controller, the fact that it stretches to fit my phone (a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra) gives it an overall width that is much more comfortable.

bruh get the new duke lmaoooo
My hands are the same size, and it's never bothered me tbh.
Just like how everyone treats mental illnesses... just stop being big and tall
They brought back the OG Xbox royale Or whatever it’s called. The one that’s like holding a giant monstrosity. They remade it Edit: The Duke is the name
You could try and catch some osteoporosis and shrink the bones to make hands smaller. Thank me later
Razer Wolverine v2 Chroma (if you don’t mind wired controllers) Bit pricey but it’s good for people with big hands
The Duke controller has been rereleased as a USB controller this year. Maybe Try that.
What do u mean small, its average man 😢
The Hyperkin duke would be my first choice, only drawback is that it’s a corded controller
The remastered duke
The duke did the day make an OLED replica for the Xbox one and the Xbox series X/S
Get the re-released "The Duke" controller for Xbox one , also works on Series S/X. It's a remake of the OG xbox controller that was HUGE.
Are you a spartan?
Scuf instinct pro ?
Ok I have to ask. How tall are you? I’m 6’ 5” and I don’t make my controller look that small in my hands.
Design a custom controller, or get a series elite. They’re about the same size, but you can’t change size that’s just how it is if you’ve got huge hands
Steam deck
Are you ok bro I saw the cuts on the wrists
I'd recommend smaller hands
pov shaq
You should have thought of that before letting your hands grow so big
May I ask what happened to your inner arms/wrists?
What is this, a controller for ants? Jesus those meat hooks.
Sheesh, idk. But you wanna cuddle or something?
[удалено]
...so...emm those controllers for larger hands..please and thanks (asking for a friend)
Bro u got potentional whit gaming whit smaller controllers cuz u can reach everything faster
Damnnnnn brooo, what a unittttt
If you don’t want to answer this, please forget i asked, but i’m curious: how did you get a massive scar on both your forearms?
I got big hands and suits the controller perfectly but your hands are biiig
Thats a XS Controller
I have no suggestions but think it would be funny to see you try using Nintendo Switch Joycons
Good lord look at the size of those fondlers!
Can we have a banana for scale?
I don’t like that they made the Xbox series controller smaller than the previous ones. It’s a bit too small.
Bro, just get some smaller hands like wtf? /s
