Hardware & Technical X56 HOTAS. How to spot the new one.

I wanted to put this on the thread ranting about how crap the X56 is but it is locked. I have to say I was with Mad Catz after I bought my X52 Pro. The stick itself is ok but so much hassle installing drivers. After Logitech bought them they issued a signed driver which fixed that problem and recently I found they have a software tool that enables you to recalibrate your main axis. So I'm quite happy with them. Recently I've been looking at getting a new stick and the X56 is a real contender for it's features but I found so many articles knocking the quality and then I found this https://www.reddit.com/r/hotas/comments/7xxndi/introducing_the_new_logitech_x56_hotas/
which has reassured me some. So to cut to the quick. The redesigned stick has grey graphics on the base of the units whereas the original has blue.
