I tried the new Xbox One Controller! (Update - it did have batteries!)

Is there more grip on the analog sticks compared to the 360? Like the PS3 has the rough feel to the entire stick to give more grip while the 360 one is smooth is this changed?

How rough is the side of the top of the stick, is their more grip then the middle of the stick?

Did you notice if the sticks have more movement space, like further space from the middle of the stick to the hard plastic? 

Do the sticks rest higher or lower then the 360, or no noticable difference?

Is their an option to disable the old rumble while keeping the new one active?

"more grip on the analog sticks compared to the 360?" 

Yes, it is more like the rubberized and a bit nubby/more texture.  It felt good.  It reminded me of those 'professional game sticks' that people add 3rd party.

More grip on the side. It felt a bit like it was made from the same stuff as the big ‘lego tires’ if you are familiar with those.

"Did you notice if the sticks have more movement space, like further space from the middle of the stick to the hard plastic? "

I didn't notice any change in how far they moved.  I did notice you used a little less force than the current X360 controller.

I didn't notice any change.

I would assume so, just like it is in the current system in the ‘system settings.’.  Now wither you have to turn off all rumble, or main vs trigger.

We were playing on a PC demo, not an actually Xbox One.  They did have a One on display.  It was around the same size as the Atari 2600, the new Kinect is about the same dimensions as the current, but it is much bulkier. I also understand it does not tilt back and forth.
