## Description

2230 E rocket launch controller

Review: If your controller doesn't work try trimming about 30% (and up to 50%) off the rubber stopper on the key. The key can then be inserted that much further to make its connection. I had to do this to what was an very dead controller and now works a treat.
Review: Very well made, good quality product.
