Pretty sure that's the older model without the 3.5mm headset jack.

Was about to say the same. Couldn't see any mentions of new model in their listing which makes me believe the same.

Any other differences between the models, other than the 3.5mm jack?

Improved triggers apparently.. the build quality feels a little better too IMO

Aswell as the headset jack they also updated the RB LB bumper buttons (new mechanism). They feel alot better! :smiley:.Also they put plastic stoppers inside the controller behind the bumper LB/RB components to stop them from bending back over time (like the 360's did) which adds durability. Everything else seems the same, inside and out.

maybe the buttons won't keep sticking down on this version :-\

Having gone to use mine the other night and finding the buttons stuck down thanks to a spillage over Christmas I've grabbed one of these, cheers!

Take it apart and clean it with some electrical cleaner , available in maplins . Clean gently with cotton buds the circuit board , the shell holes around the buttons and the piece of rubber which sits between the board and buttons, Sounds like an easy fix :smiley:

Gamestop controllers were new models with headset jack and upgraded bumpers, but they just put the price up £10 to £41.00 ish

Only just spotted this comment but did actually grab isopropyl alcohol from Maplin and it worked after quite a few attempts, so now have two pads as planned, but cheers for the recommendation!
