New 360 controller with transforming D-pad

Give it a twist and it changes! $64.99 including a Play & Charge kit. Joystiq have a video with Major Nelson.

Personally, I think it looks really nice.

 

More like "we gave it to our lawyers so they could come up with a new design that wouldn't get our asses sued for patent infringement"

Anyways, over 60 bucks? methinks its kinda expensive for a regular pad

 

I want to try it.

What's keeping it from twisting while you're playing a game? Especially a Capcom fighter.

 

I m so getting one. It looks really nice, not because of the D-pad either.

 

Well it's only available as the controller + Play & Charge kit bundle which is a controller, charge cable, and rechargable battery pack. That's the standard price for 360 controller bundles.

 

The shape of the D-pad is hardly the problem, the problem is that it's incredibly stiff and seems to have a very limited range of motion. I'll just wait and see if this actually fixes the real issues with the D-pad.

 

$65 for a controller is crazy imo.

 

well, it comes with the Play and Charge kit. it's no a controller all by itself. still too expensive though.

 

I'd rather just buy a pad without the border pieces.
