Cool people remember them from the colour coding.

Really? When did color coding come into play? Earliest I can remember was the Super Famicom (Was the EU SNES also color-coded?). (In the US, the first raw color distinction was the PS1, and the first to play it up was Dreamcast, even if it used the ABXY pattern that is also on the XBox, though with the colors moved around.) Whereas the NES (and Famicom) used A and B, the Sega Master System used I and II, the 2-button Atari controllers were identical (and not named), and I can keep going.

Sorry, but some of us "old-timers" kinda take offense to being called a "noob" for remembering when there wasn't a color distinction.
