Placed my order for the new one yesterday and I was curious. I bought the old one for 35 bucks at a discount. They must have had surplus stock in 2016 lol.

You can program the left trackpad/dpad on the original to input stick controls.

Which is what i do, but it's a physical improvement I'm wanting, not just the input.

I like the SC2026 but I don't prefer the track pads, I'm kind of in a nomans land between Controller preference now ๐Ÿ˜…

The haptic feedback isn't as good as a physical button though
