Thankfully, it has a rubber wand cap instead of the original's hard plastic finish. 8BitDo also includes the octagonal lever gates that Nintendo implemented on the N64 controller to mimic the eight-way D-pad. The actual D-pad on the new controller is also in a new location, but it's still in a recessed pocket.
