This item has been in my storage unit for a very long time, i don't know what happened to the manual but I do know it's never been used, I did plug it into my super nintendo to make sure that it worked and it does work, I don't know much about this controller or how I acquired it, but it looks coll and I'm tired of it just sitting in storage, if you have any questions pleasevmessage me before purchasing, so like I previously stated, the controller is still brand new never used except for testing purposes, and it also does not have the manual. As you can see in photos. The lcd sticker is still on it and has never been removed.
