Manufacturer description
Item comes from a smoke and pet free home. Buyer will receive everything as is. The controller is fully functional. And comes with its breakaway cable. But it also has natural wear all over it. That is shown in the pictures. Feel free to message with any questions. I am also very open to offers. So don't hesitate to ask. Thank you
