I LOVE her. I actually ended up having a jury fake these thumbsticks. I had thumb extensions that didn't match the balls so I removed the brass and glued them to the extensions. Unfortunately, one projectile had its primer pop out, but that's my fault, not a defect. The controller now looks amazing! As a reminder, these are REAL brass which means they will tarnish. Keep that in mind when you buy them. If that bothers you, don't take it. But despite the fading, I love her!
