Apparently a redesigned Xbox 360 control pad has been spotted at the Games Convention in Leipzig. According to this IGN report the newly designed control pad has a new feel and the new design fixes D-pad issues found in the old models. The new models are apparently less spongy and more tactile in feel.
While aesthetically identical to the previous controller, the d-pad has been re-engineered to offer more instant control, with an eight way input taking place of the previous four. A brief hands-on with the controller playing Pro Evolution 2009 proved that the redesign has been effective, with the d-pad sitting in a larger rocker and proving more tactile.
