I would normally buy CQC KontrolFreeks because I had an idea that I wouldn't like the extra height of the right joystick and at first glance thought it was CQC and bought it. I got them and was disappointed at first, but after playing a few CoD matches with them I feel like I won't miss CQC. I forget there's even an elevation difference and I can say I'm getting a little more accuracy/control over fine aiming. My only downside is that I find them a bit boring in design. Maybe dark orange would have been better, but that's my opinion. Although very impressed.
