I like the design. The design looks sick. Swappable thumb stick caps. And it says connected command display, so you can have a range of profiles, colors changing. You can read the social media on there and loads of different things. It sounds interesting. Wacky, but interesting. Then it says world's first connected command display for performance, customization, and social media alerts.
