The major plus is the location of the black/white buttons and the shape of the D-Pad. For games like Splinter Cell and Counter Strike where you're heavily reliant on these buttons, life has been made much easier by packing them into a smaller space (making them much easier to reach and press).
The general feel is comfortable, with better ergonomics: the control sticks now have flat heads (easier to click) and the triggers underneath are closer together (more comfortable to crouch and shoot at the same time).
Overall impression is that it's an ergonomic, comfortable larger version of the PS2 controller, but of a higher quality. An essential piece of kit, and at the reduced price (decent official controllers are difficult to get cheap), it's a steal!
Sometimes, the big controller is just too awkward to use, especially when playing something like Splinter Cell, where using the black and white buttons is a necessity, it was awkward to reach all the way to top on above the ABXY buttons.
Now on the S controller, they have been repositioned to below the ABXY buttons, so it is much easier to press with your thumb.
The start/select buttons have been pushed over to the right hand side of the gamepad.
The D-pad has also changed slightly so it now appears as a cross, as opposed to the slightly awkward wavy layout of the official controller.
The ABXY buttons are also actually easier to hit now as the pad has been condensed in size. It will suit people with smaller hands down to ground, and its not too small for people with big hands either.
Both of the thumbsticks have a better texture on them, and they seem slightly easier to manoeuvure.
All in all, I definetely prefer this controller to the official chunky one.
