How To Tell If You Have A Fake Ps3 Controller

[Sooapsi]

I have the EXACTLY the same controller! Thanks for this video :)

[fro0tyl0opy87]

Damn bloody china, crap and it should be banned. Great video, very very helpful!

[TheCancun17]

There is also no reset button

[wielkus]

I have almost same controller looking but i dont have any problems becuse Its f**king original I buyed it in normal physical store and yes LEDs are coming through plastic and yes buttons are matte also on back there is diffrent sticker but I have legit i can play on pc through motionjoy also on android through Sixaxis Controller app and everything is working fine

[shortyboy333333333]

are the red ones at walmart real?

[IBot330]

Don't like red

[Blademrk]

Thanks, I Just bought one from Play Trade, and I thought something was a bit off. It's the exact same joypad that you have in the video.

I think the main clue that it's a clone is the sticker:

The official coloured pads have a silver sticker instead of a black sticker (model number CECHZC2E for European model);

A CE logo on the left & a bin crossed out logo on the right;

The sticker itself fits flush with the indentation in the joypad;

And the name Sony ComputerEnter tainment inc.

Also the serial number on the back of my fake controller is 711719805224 as well, and I've seen 2 other videos as well as websites with those serial numbers. So these guys are making exact copies of their shitty chink controllers.

[BDaDennis]

Can somebody please tell me if this one is fake?? go to fyygame . com and paste this /new-white-dualshock-3-wireles­s-bluetooth-sixaxis-controller­-for-ps3-with-sony-logo-with-p­ack.html

[boald15]

@BDaDennis That shit is extremely fake. I looked up the domain, they are based in China, of course. It even says on the website that the controller is "3rd party." Just go buy a real one from Amazon for $45.

[shayminfan12345]

@boald15 I rather buy one from either wal-mart or gamestop

[MedalpiXel]

This a variation to regular ps3 controllers and they tend to be like that because they had a red one come with God of war 3 and it looked just like that.

[SuPreZzeDxFTW]

to bad you cant tell before you buy so this is no help....

[5457585a]

How long did it take for the controller to arrive

[philosophyphantic199]

3 people got a fake controller! :D

[shockz18]

i bought a fake one by mistake, :(

I dont mind tho it works perfect :)

[EmenWondersNYc]

@shockz18 were?

[SimpleKindOfMan604]

@shockz18 Then 6 months later your battery will lose its ability to charge and you're left with a brick.

[robloxgaara22]

Also, if the vibration is not normal, like clanking, then its fake...

[robloxgaara22]

/my fake 1 also has 711719805224 bar code! :(

[florintheps3boy]

made in china, what can you except? :-|

[leef0324uk]

i had a white one i stripped it down it was built by idiots i blew it up like what you need to do to fake china

[OsamaBinLadenJK]

hey fuck u!!! if ur gonna make a video make sure u have a good example nd a bad example

[djackson45ful]

[Lefterakiss]

I GOT A BLACK CONTROLLER BULK FROM XE.GR..........25 EURO! (ORIGINAL)

[509g1]

also the rumble is so shit, i got a orange one, whats the real ps3 boxing look like then so we know its real

[adamgergich96]

so in america, how much are normal controllers, in store????

[cedargroverealist]

i saw a red one like that at wal mart is it fake or real

[XerosVideos]

@cedargroverealist Real. Don't worry about buying a fake controller in retail. You'll be okay, man. I got a red controller from Walmart not too long ago. It's legit.

[sk84life58735]

thanks



[kanavansuunskoulu12]

omg the square button is like aqua blue and real square is green

[FullMoonDogPisti]

@kanavansuunskoulu12 The real Square is not green ;)

[kanavansuunskoulu12]

@FullMoonDogPisti i need glases ?? omg fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[akumamaster1]

I just got one =\ and it's the same deal, but mine is white. Got mine for $22

[Jackedjay9]

@akumamaster1 i got a red one in Hong Kong for $22 also. i have it right here and some how its not THAT BAD! The analog sticks feel like a ps2 controller but the buttons work fine and it the exact same red controller in the video. Hope for the best with your controller.

[destinystruth]

FUCK. I'm a really careful buyer when it comes to ebay. And I bought a fake one :S

[sk84life58735]

@destinystruth

o

that sucks do they really suck that bad

[destinystruth]

@sk84life58735 You can't play on it if you're actually into games. The triangle doesn't work sometimes, and the aiming stick isn't responsive at all. I only played like 10 minutes before I stopped so their is probably more problems. I got a refund though :-)

[asapparty]

Yup I got a stolen controller just like yours but white... Fucking chinese

[TheDylan1234]

is the parts in the fake one the same as the orginal like the l1 rubber parts?

[bigboy815s1]

dude mine had same serial number and everything as the fake

[JSon9X]

also the the sony sign above the home button on a fake is off - i purchased a fake and that was what i noticed

[TheR00dss]

any differences betwen boxes other than the ones you mentioned?

[Charles2337]

You have a pretty good eye.

[skaterboy0206]

totally agree with you on 6:28 thats the thing that pisses me off the most, because i play FPS games. sensitivity is terrible on fake controllers. its cheaper than a real controller but trust me, its not worth it. just invest in a real one and never get it online like ebay. sometimes you'll get lucky and get a real controller. just get a controller at gamestop or even walmart or fred meyers.

[gotmilk752]

yep my contoller is fake

[gotmilk752]

fuck i have a fucking fake controller and it dosent fucking work.

fuck my lifeeeeeeeeeeeee $%$

[BozzMusik2010]

The main thing it works

[ArmyOfThePharaohz]

wow my brother made me buy a fuckin fake one THANKS! fuck.

[Fantabulectable]

its not fake. its the model from japan. it will work with ps3's but you (I) experience input lag and spotty input recognizign ; it will not see when you push a button.

[MrX5150x]

i sued a guy who sold a fake controller & he got fined 800$ for selling fakes on eBay(:

[XxKYFERxX]

Ssssshit..... I think i just bought a fake red ps3 controller off ebay. Cost 35 quid, but is it still good to use? And good video man :)

[HitmanAtM16]

@XxKYFERxX the thing is, the ones that are fake dont even work properly, they are not responsive, and u have to press all the buttons really hard, so wen i play black ops, i always lose. and the analog sticks are not good, it feels really choppy. so just go buy one=s from the store.

[XxKYFERxX]

@HitmanAtM16 Glad i haven't got the fake controller. Mine just came through and its official. Well chuffed :P

[Gearsfanactics]

@HitmanAtM16 i have to press buttons really hard i got a ps3 this august and it came with a controller and that control sucks cause everytime i play games i hit the button but it doesnt work so do i have to buy a new one or something like that

[sk84life58735]

@HitmanAtM16

i go to gamestop is that a good place to git them

[greyface01]

@HitmanAtM16 blamin the controller eh, lulz.

[McMuffin752]

@XxKYFERxX report all the fakes on ebay i just reported 2 but there are many more chinese ppl ripping us off

[EmenWondersNYc]

@XxKYFERxX from who? so i could buy

[alekey15]

i have 2 controlers baseball and blu and their fine

[landh4wk25]

i dont care if its fake or not as long if it lets me play black ops online
