That's definetly the Jap Xbox controller. I'm getting one for my b-day
As for the B&W buttons, they are out of place, but no worse than the American controller. They should form the 2 rows of 3 like the old Sega controllers. On the American controller though, they are hard to reach, and not in the best position. I'm also liking how the buttons are arranged correctly, and not in a parallelogram. That's the main reason I can't stand the controller.
The new placement for the start and back buttons is pretty good. Allows the controller to be much smaller, and still doesn't get in the way. I also like how the D-pad is more... D-pad like.
Those handles still look pretty fat. But I'll wait and see how they feel. Mesa get controller on 4/10.
Here's the Japanese controller, looks similar, eh?
