Ugh, that color is ugly. I'd definitely like a better pad though.

 

It will only be available for a limited time and not available in the US.

'"optimized" and not-entirely-awful d-pad'

this was hilarious. i love it implies that microsoft is toying with the idea of making a not entirely awful controller, to say they know and don't care that the current one is terrible.

thank you microsoft. now bring it stateside and make alternate colors available.

 

denkai already uses an Hori pad guys.
