The D-pad is composed from a single plastic piece and we do not have individual buttons as on the Sony PS3 controller; also compared to the Sixaxis, the D-pad buttons seem to need more pressure to be activated:

Each thumbstick has a rubberized top and the bottom is made from white plastic:

The central Select and Start buttons have their position changed, but we do not need a lot of time to get used to this because these buttons are not used too often. The PS button comes with a new logo, which looks like an arrow:

On the right side, we can locate the triangle, square, circle and X buttons, which have the same feel as on the original controller:

Between the thumbsticks, we can find an ON/OFF switch; a good feature of the F.P.S. Pro controller is the fact that it automatically stops after a while when not used, to avoid accidental battery discharges:

On each side, we can find ergonomic non-slip grips:

While looking in the back of the controller, we can find the R1, L1, R2, L2 buttons, which have a modified shape compared to the Sixaxis, but are easy accessible:

Here we can also find the LEDs that act the same way as on the PS3 controller, along with the USB port for charging the product:

The bottom is also made from rubber, which gives the product a nice feel when used for extended amounts of time:

The controller is equipped with two extra buttons, which can be remapped with the functions we select by using the bottom switches; initially, the buttons are set on the “LED” function:

To add an extra level of detail, Mad Catz has chosen to light up the thumbsticks in 3 different colors; this can be done by accessing the Combat 1 and 2 buttons on the bottom of the controller; to save battery life, we can also turn off the LED light completely:
