I purchased this to play a specific game on my PC and used it for about a month. I don't usually need it as I use a mouse and keyboard. There is some slight scuffing around the left stick, but it doesn't affect the operation. There are no noticeable scratches or stains on the other parts, and it's in overall good condition. There is no paint peeling. The color is blue, but depending on the light and angle, it can also appear purplish.
