In addition to the fact that the gamepad was available in another color, it appears that the one you have been using is one that has already been utilized. The cable that was included with the kit had been folded carelessly before being "thrown" into the box in the strictest sense of the word. After reading the comments, I realized that I'm not the only one who runs into this problem, which is why I think it's important to give it some thought.
