Manufacturer description
*Start button requires slight hard press and right analog stick is fully functional but ever so slightly stiff. Still a great controller. Label on right side is for inventory purposes and is easily removed* This is a Sony Playstation 1 SCPH 1200 gray controller. In very good pre owned condition.
