One of the listed features is:

Robust embedded power & output cables will never shake loose during a match
So the cables are embedded, similar to CIMs.

Not sure how I feel about this yet. On one hand, it will ensure that the cables don't come out of these controllers. On the other hand, it means we either have less reusability by permanently splicing the cables, or the same problem we currently have by using an intermediate connector.

I also have never had a big problem with cables getting jiggled loose from the existing controllers with a proper crimp.
