Manufacturer description
Controller is an original Nintendo controller and not an aftermarket one. It’s an American model is not half watermelon red and half clear it is all watermelon red. The joystick does have a very small amount of play but it’s not a big deal at all and does not drift. The joystick is the original Nintendo stick and not a replacement so it’s higher quality. Controller is fully functional and in good condition.
