The original was perfect except for the dpad.  I already grabbed a Fight Pad so I may not be getting the new redesign. I hear great things about the 3rd party Razer Onza" controller, though.

Have hear things like, "it looks awesome and has mappaple bumpers and tension control on the sticks"? or have you heard from people with hands-on?

I don't know anybody that's actually gotten one but every site I've googled since reading about it in Game Informer say that it's a huge improvement over the traditional controller.  It's wired, though.  That's somewhat of a drawback but then so is every third party controller for the 360 that I've seen.

Sadly, the Onza is not commercially available yet (November I think?).  For single player games, I will be getting this for sure.  For my MP games though, I think the new MS wireless controller would be perfect (my headphones, combined with wired controllers = ton of static electricity).  Wait...$140 in controllers in the next few months?  There is probably something wrong with me.

Explain to me the problem you have with your headphones and wired controllers. I use headphones but have always used a wireless controller but am considering the Onza and I'm not familiar with any potential problems with a setup like mine. Is it a situation where the controller somehow interferes?
