I just wear mens sneakers these days. I haven?t used it enough yet to comment on the battery life. But IMHO, daytime use shows it on the weak side. Of course, I am outside the return window (my fault), so I am going to try and modify them and hopefully I can tolerate them. She chose pink. I preferred mono chat with my surround system. Go slow, take your time. I know the newer model controllers have the gray thumbsticks as well as the gray L1/L2,R1/R2 triggers. Im one of those people that doesnt like putting additional accessories on my bike, so if I do, I try to go for something that looks as close to OEM and suits my bike. First, they took a month to arrive.
