Personally, I'm not a fan of how the diode strip was put to the top of the chassis of this particular model. The brightness is low, and I have to log into another user before I can build a red one. It's less noticeable and can be stored more easily under the red controller. This diode has no literal meaning in the games I play. The controller's body is a brilliant shade of red; personally, I'd want it to be a darker color, like the lower half of the casing, but this is purely aesthetic.
