I'm confused by what the dpad thing means. As for the design, they are still incapable of putting a rechargable battery that doesn't stick out?

I found weird the color of the buttons. I'm not a Xbox gamer, so the color help me with X Y A B.

Pretty cool. Hopefully it works as well as the PS3 D-pad now. The D-pad was the only drawback to the 360 controller really.

It looks like the same arrow pad just with raised arrows.

@SleepWaking

I thought the same, but we have to wait until the new controller is hands-on... Maybe for fighting games like Street Fighter would be better play on the D-Pad

I need a new pad sometime soon. Might have to invest in one of these!

I still don't fully understand how "twisting" the pad works... you twist the whole pad? Or the small base around it?

I actually think it looks pretty cool although I'm not convinced that d-pad is going to work much better. Actually I'm almost sure it won't make a lot of difference.

The colours aren`t random; if you take the original colours and grayscale them, this is what you get.

It seems Microsoft now has a color scheme to match their games.

the buttons almost look like they were removed from black and white Wii motes and placed on the Xbox controller, i don't see any appeal to them and they are very random colored, one is black two are white and one is kinda black , very random even in their positioning.
