The new Touch controllers have felt fabric straps that wrap around the back of your hand, and a plastic non-slip grip that won't bend in your fingers. The strap that softly hugs your hands and allows you to let go of worry is something we loved. They won't end up sweat-stained and gross over time, because they are fully washed.

The battery compartment built into the grip made the original design more innovative. Changing the batteries is as simple as opening the door, replacing the battery, and closing it again. The original grips are the same as everything else, including the sweat-resistant soft silicone grip and those more rigid faux leather straps.
