To each their own.

When I look at these I think of cheap plastic trash. Much prefer current design.

Cheap plastic trash that's not translucent, or glass stuff that's more expensive, fragile, and even less biodegradable?

Both. I think the translucent stuff just makes it look bad. Again, to each their own though but I always thought the translucent stuff looked awful and was how to distinguish between cheap knock offs vs better quality goods.

I'm sure it depends on what items you grew up with specifically, but the translucent controllers for me were always the knockoffs. And beyond that, I thought the macs were hideous compared to a boring but at least solid windows beige box.
