Coming this fall, Microsoft will release a new, re-designed Xbox 360 wireless controller that features a transforming d-pad and different colored buttons.

Acknowledging the trouble many players have had with the current d-pad, Microsoft's engineers have upgraded the controller's d-pad to go "from a plus to a disc with the twist of the wrist," according to Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb, director of programming for Xbox Live.

The new d-pad provides "ultimate accuracy and control for both directional as well as sweeping movements."

The new, matte silver controller also features concave analog sticks and gray A,B,X,Y buttons for "added style." The controller will only be available with the Play & Charge Kit on November 9 in the United States for $64.99, with a European release planned for next year.

In a follow up e-mail, Hryb told IGN there are "no plans at this time" to release the controller separately and that the new colored buttons will not be the color design moving forward. They are only for this controller.

$5 says fans will hate this controller.
 
^^I actually like the new color of the buttons. Once you get used to a controller, you'll never really have to look down at which button to press. It becomes second nature to know which button to hit.
