New Xbox 360 controller on Nov. 9

Not sure if this is a good time to ask this, I know you guys are busy ATM with the new controller, and not sure if this has been answered or not yet. 
Microsoft will be releasing the new Xbox 360 controller on the 9th of Nov. With the new D-pad. Will you be selling this controller? If so, will it be released this year? Anyone else interested in this new design as a Macro Viking360?

well, as of right now, nobody knows what kind of circuit board is in the new controller that they are coming out with. So when it comes out, the viking team will check and see if it is compatible with the new chip. If it is, then they will probobly sell the new controller as an option as well.

Thanks for your reply. If everything is the same. How long would we have to wait for the option to be available? Do we have to wait for the controllers to produced or are they made to order?

Well, if they're confirmed to be compatible, it would just be a matter of getting the controllers and putting them together. I wouldnt imagine it taking too much longer to assemble the new controller vs the old one. However, this is all dependent on whether or not the two will be compatible.

Am I the only one waiting for this controller? How does everyone else feel about the color and the new d-pad?

Here is an old article if you haven't seen the controller yet.
