Original Microsoft Xbox “Duke” Controller – Early Production / Factory Test Unit (Sealed)
For sale is a rare, early-production Microsoft Xbox “Duke” controller (circa 2001). This is a genuine factory test / validation unit, not a standard retail version.
The rear label shows internal manufacturing markings “B2” and “1.95”, along with an early serial number (SN: 000400703), indicating it was used for factory validation and internal testing rather than commercial distribution.
The controller is in brand new, factory sealed condition, still in its original blue protective bag.
Historical note:
This unit originates from the Flextronics factory in Sárvár, Hungary, one of the early European Xbox production sites.
Key features:
* Early production unit (circa 2001)
* Internal factory markings: B2 / 1.95
