Does anyone have a problem with their overlays going into the 2 right slots on their G model controllers? The right slots are tiny compared to the ones on the B model controller. I love how the G model feels, but the B model controller doesn't screw up the edges on my overlays. This happens with both of my G model controllers.

For those of you who don't know the difference between the G and B model controllers:

G model: Serial number on the back of the controller starts with a G. The cable is thicker, the dpad feels better (not as clicky), and the buttons have more of a spongy feel to them. The connection into the Jaguar is firm/snug.

B model: Serial number on the back of the controller starts with a B. The cable is thinner, the dpad is clicky, buttons have a click to them. Also the controller port fits loosely into the Jaguar.

Does anyone else have this problem? The G model controller screwed up my Hoverstrike overlay on the protruding sections that fit into the right side of the controller. It is an extremely tight fit for those protruding edges.

I am new to the Jaguar scene after wanting one when I was 9, I never got around to owning one until now. It is a FANTASTIC system, but some of the design choices and cost cutting are mind boggling. I still love it though! I actually just ordered another 'new' one from Best Electronics! Looks like the Jaguar CD is next.

I have several of each and I did notice one slot on one of the controllers was too tight. I think it's just a bit of bad luck with excess flashing when they are molded. I just got an x-acto knife and cleared it out.

The other difference between G and B is the colour of the keypad buttons. Hence G(rey) and B(lack). Normally anyway. Atari seemed to mix and match by the end...
