This is coming straight out of Game Informer.
Spurred by complaints from gamers across America, Microsoft is planning to release a newly designed controller on April 30 for around $39.99 called Controller S. This new unit will be smalle and more manageable than the original, and will closely resembe the one that released with the Japanese version of the console. The old controller, known around here as "The Hamburger", was dubbed by Game Informer as "The Blunder of the Year" for 2001.
Here's a list of some of the differences between Controller S and the standard unit.
-Smaller overall size
-The primary buttons are in the traditional cross placement instead of a skewed diamond shape
-The black and white buttons are now located below the primary ones
-The start and back buttons are to the left of the d-pad
-The d-pad's surface is now in the traditional cross form
-The surface for the analog sticks now resembles the Playstation 2's
