@Tina, great work as usual. I really love hearing designers tell the stories of what they've worked on.

Transforming d-pad is nice, but why such a light grey and monochrome buttons? The new (slim) Xbox is only sold in black, the elite was black... only fairly old 360s are still white. Will there be a version of this controller with a black top?

The monochrome A B X Y buttons seem like an odd choice to me too. All the games will show the original colors of the buttons in the manuals as well as in-game, this will confuse people.

Except they had no clue what I was talking about. Then I called Gamestop and they also didn't have a clue what I was talking about. "Huh? For what console did you say this was...?"

Where can I get these?

Are the ABXY buttons exactly the same physical size as the old controller's? I ask because I don't like the new colors and I would have no problem swapping the buttons around from an older controller (it's not too difficult to open these controllers if you know how).

Nice work on the controller!
