At first, I was going to use red, but I didn't like how the white back panel ruined the entire color scheme. The blue and acid gamepads have the same history. It is unclear what prevented the buttons from being in black. As a result, I purchased this one and have never looked back; in person, the coloration seems much better. In use, the front panel, handles, and bumpers all have plastic that is much smoother than the rest of the vehicle. Even with deliberate pressure, nothing anywhere plays or creaks because the assembly is likewise level.
