They just added more space between sticks and buttons... and some Kanji.

 

From SRK:
- The space between the joystick and buttons will be widened in both sticks, allowing for a “roomy” feel and generally more comfort.
- Top sheet is more durable, and the artwork that adorns each of the two joysticks are printed on PET materials.
- An anti-slick sheet, made of metal, has been attached at the bottom.
- Start and Select buttons can be disabled.
- L1 and L2 buttons can be toggled to perform the functions for L3 and R3 instead, which can be useful for certain games.
- By default the stick lever is set to enter d-pad commands; now you can switch it to control the left or right analog stick instead.

 

CHECK... Roughly 65mm from middle of stick shaft to edge of closest button (X button) for the Kai version, 41mm for the regular version. That's 24mm, or just under 7/8in.

CHECK, but whatever PET is, the top is now shiny, but is prone to fine scratches like you get on your car's paint.

CHECK, 2 square pieces to be exact, feels like felt; though the gray may be prone to get stained. Black would have been a better choice.

CHECK... AND CHECK. The stick now comes with a manual explaining how to program the turbo buttons and whatnot. Not very user intuitive, lots to remember as far as programming.
