There's no other way to describe this beautiful monstrosity.
Approaching two decades ago, Microsoft unveiled "Xbox," it's pie-in-the-sky foray into the video game home console market. The pivot from Office and Windows was an odd one for the company back then, and frankly, even now, as business-oriented goods and services continue to be the cornerstone of Microsoft's business. Yet, Xbox has endured, evolved, and ultimately, become a globally recognized brand for gaming excellence, for online performance, the games themselves, and industry-leading hardware.
The iconic Xbox controller has also evolved, becoming a global standard across consoles and PC. Design conventions established by Microsoft's controller hardware team have found their way onto competing platforms, including Nintendo's "Pro" Switch controller, and third-party controllers like the Razer Raiju for PlayStation 4. The current Xbox One controller is a symphony of engineering excellence, yet, where did it all begin?
