Just to inform you about fake PS3 controllers on ebay, DO NOT BUY THEM!
Differences I forgot to mention:
- Some controllers have huge gap on the control stick's bottom
- Bluetooth does not work on PC at all
- Some controller's have extra screw behind the label (6th screw)
The joysticks are the biggest flaw on these fake controller. No sixaxis, cheaper plastic etc I can live with that, but the crappy joysticks makes them useless for good gaming.

OMG! Tell me about it, its so hard to aim in Call of Duty with the sucky ass joysticks
Erik2Ammo true
@@elijahpascual2505 Yeh try using long shot in the higher rounds at die rise or Buried , you will lose it quick with these controllers! These suck big time !
yap low resolution crap sticks
and r2 l2, really bad, like a gas, they are not sensitive,
can't believe I actually got myself one, I feel so stupid
Ii got 2... 2 times stupid
yeah just bought three fake ones 1 dualshock 3 and 2 dualshock 4 without knowing... trust me I'll ask for refund@@beresandrei8474
@@philippebeauchamp2827 next time if you gona buy a ps5 and you need a controller please consult RUclips first or google. For the pc are perfect but for the ps3 playing at COD it's not good.
Now I already purchased 2 new official DS 4 for future usage... making sure I have more than 1 for the next couple of years since with time it's basically impossible to get a new official controller of a previous generation@@beresandrei8474
i bought 2 of them..shit

The most important thing is how the sticks work. In the original gamepads, you can aim very accurately. There are problems with stick management in fakes, especially in shooters
"So where can I buy an authentic one?"
I hear you cry.
You have 2 options:
-a used one that will usually be pretty beat (especially the analogue grip)
-Buy a new authentic one still floating around which will set you back at least £70/$90
darthkahn45 i have 2 original looking like brand new
Is the dark box top still a good sign of a genuine one or has that been counterfeited now too? Last I knew the fakes had light blue box tops.
That doesn't work either, I bought 2 used, which were all fakes in sealed original packaging. Nothing on ebay indicated a commercial seller.
And one thing to say. The Sixaxis feature in the fake Controller don't work correctly. I tried play Heavy Rain with a a fake controller (at that time i don't know that was a fake, but now i'm very sure), and the sixaxis features don't work. And some PS2 games don't work with that controller.
Thanks! Very good to know, even more reason to avoid them.
VERY GOOD comparison mate. The point about the buttons being glossy is spot on! I could always sort of understand which is fake and which controller is real but didn't know what exactly it was that my brain pin pointed, and now I know it's the overall quality/glossiness of the original which separates it from the fake. Good vid!
the buttons was the tie breaker even with PS1 controllers and in your hand you could feel the difference.
Damn for who made the fake PS3 controller
for me the identifier that tipped me off when a controller was fake was the weight. My wife could never see a difference between a real and a fake by feel, but after having grown up using only genuine PS3 controller's, its just instinct for me. Even when they're "well made" there's always something just...off about them, they just don't feel the same
Exactly. We know this controller like our own hands.
Wish I had seen this video before buying one on ebay! haha Thanks for the video!
Ok.. Now i see, today i bought fake ps3 controller 😭, but it works fine.
I was playing last of us using the same controller I bought on eBay I was playing suddenly the game show me to shake my controller so the flash light in the game should stay normal but it didn’t
Now I know why it’s fake and the controller it turns itself off after 1 mins
Thanks for the video man next time I will inspect before purchase
And it’s battery power drains really fast
If they were marketed as third party controllers then damn they are amazing. But since they are lying to use and saying its real thats where I draw the line.
Nah it’s still pretty shit cuz of the dead zone and limited analogue directions
If you wanna know that your Dualshock 3 is original, try to shake it in the main menu if the particles move it's original, but if it doesn't it is fake.
Didn't you notice the word "SELECT" is a more to the right of it's button?. It is easy to see. It is one of the most easies ways to spot a fake.
it sucks.. i bought a fake one for 34 euros at a game mania shop..
Gami154 there's a 5 $ fake ps3 controller at a store that I'm going to buy
The fake ps3 controllers don't work with 8bitdo for ps1 classic and also don't work with the brook converter for ps2 game play. That's how you can tell. The sixaxis also doesn't work.
Hey i got the same white one.
And it feels/plays just find
Sure ima buy a brand name one in the future but for now its fine.
The buttons on the original one are usually matte too. They get glossy because the the surface of the button gets rubbed away with use. Same as with a old plastic Keyboard or trackpad
the gold u dun need to compare, sony official controller colour doesnt hav gold orange green purple and yellow...so if u see seller with all these colour they are 100% fake
Are you sure, my friend, about the information?
@@over6215 yes there is real gold, the real gold look more like bronze tone
I drove myself insane with the fake one
I ordered one off there two days ago.
I wish I had seen this video before I had bought it, but the title says that it’s a genuine oem one and the photos showed that it’s in good condition.
I paid $22.21 for it and it’s usps, it comes on thursday.
I believe non of the orginal Dualshocks 3 ever had that funny bar saying: Complies with IDA standards. Oryginal ones wont be charged by generic phone chargers. You might be able to charge them with your console or directly from USB port in your PC. Also, when plugged to PC those fakes wont be recognized by Sony Dualshock 3 controller but more likely as PS3 pad, PS3 controller
I bought a white PS3 controller at gamestop back in 2012 from gamestop, and all this time I thought it was official, and I have never had a problem with it... But I’m really OCD and a collector and I want to make sure that mine isn’t a fake like that, but it has none of these issues? The only thing I find suspicious is the raised lights at the top, and the plastic on the back for the barcode and such is peeling from age. I heard there are no white ps3 controllers that are real and sold separately in official packaging. Is this true, meaning mine’s been a dirty fake?
This is a good video.
I bought an Ebay controller believing it was official Sony.. it works okay but ive noticed weird things about it. If i hook it up to my PC and test the button functions, pressing the PS button actually also SOMEHOW activates the left analogue sticks a tiny amount?!
So strange definitely going to look for a new one.
Funktapus Gaming does it work ok tho
EFA VIDEOS it works "okay ish on some games. shooters and games with pressure sensitive button controls can be difficult.
each fake controller is slightly different tho lol
Funktapus Gaming the best controller to use for pc gaming is a xbox 360 controller easy to connect dont need a 3th party program because its by Microsoft
The controller buttons turn glossy over time when you use it a lot
i have that white one and its been fine, infact im repairing one as i text this. but i didnt order it from ebay
There are fake PS3 controllers with the 224 barcode it's the one with the P3 button instead of the normal Playstation button we're used to seeing.
I would say do not buy "fake" PS3 controllers from eBay. There are plenty of reputable and honest sellers on eBay selling legit stuff, you just sometimes have to do a little checking before you buy.
Sorry to hear that. If you've found that the issue is definitely due to the controller and not something else then it's likely a knockoff or non-Sony brand controller that you received. If you do buy another one on eBay or online somewhere I would just suggest buying one from a reputable seller, and just to be sure check with them first to make sure you will be receiving an authentic controller. The sellers who send out fake merchandise online can give the online marketplace a bad name and ruin things for the legit sellers.
Thank you for the video! Learned alot.
is fake one same plastic as original?
Some official Sony controllers actually do have mat finished buttons.
4 YEARS LATE SQUAD WHERE YOU AT?!?!?!?!?!?
Here bbyyyyyyy
@@amandaqaseh2822 YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
Hm mine might be fake too. But if it is then its actually a pretty good one. All buttons work perfect and the sensitivities work too, even with the X, circle, triangle and square button. You can check that with different tools. The deadzone is only 10% for me and it does have more than 8 angles in the sticks, the 360 angle works. Bluetooth works with ps3 but it wont work with PC dongle. Well, its really not that bad to be honest, but maybe I got lucky. Bought if from ebay. Im pretty sure its fake for me too but it works really well. The stick are a bit stiff also :o paid 20euros for it. The sticker is similar but its -C2U ending. Well whatever, besides the stiffness I cant really tell the difference to be honest.
The six axis features do not work either.
Helpful info, thanks
Its fucking hard to get a working genuine ps3 controller. Found a guy online selling original dualshock 3 controllers and the pictures looked ok. I did receive an original ps3 controller but it was only six axis not dualshock 3. Also the analogs were spinning in place so i has to put some glue under the rubber. Still the analogs seem worn out as they move around too fast. Going to buy a dual shock 3 tomorrow this time from a local seller so i can inspect it myself
Thank you! I was wondering about this.. Because they are all about 20 dollars cheaper but still have a sony emblem on it. I will be buying one used
Thanks dude .. now i know the truth .. i bought 2 of them scammers told me they are original now i know they are fake and they dont accept refunds .. well gotta play with fake ones now
I had both controllers at the same time
Man why cant playstation sell original controllers for older consoles.
the fake ones have no sixaxis functions and are very shoddy and feel like total shit, the real one is much better.
I BOUGHT A PS3 CONTROLLER FROM A PHYSICAL STORE THAT SAID LICENSED PRODUCT EVERYWHERE ON THE BOX AND IT WAS A FAKE?!? god what is my luck... first it happens to me on Ebay and now it happens to me at my favorite store? I feel so stupid
@@hikhuhvhh7883 it was just a local store in iowa
This confirmed I bought a fake one :(
Does the DS4 act as a decent replacement? I know the home button DOES NOT work when you use the DS4 tho
Yeah it works just fine.
When you pay $26 to $36 for a NEW PS3 controller you get a NEW FAKE PS3 controller or you buy USED PS3 controller with having a 50/50 chance the PS3 controller is a USED FAKE or USED REAL PS3 controller. To get NEW REAL PS3 controller you gonna have to pay $65 to $85 & there are places where there are REAL NEW PS3 controllers you can buy but you gonna have to pay that big money for them.
The original ones should have “UL listed” sign on the sticker at the back. Easy right? Not sure if the sticker is hologram sticker or you can call it foil sticker?
On the first fake, the PlayStation logo is rounder.
Just got two of these fake controllers and the joysticks are the dealbreaker. So hard to aim. I like the used game store by my house but for them to sell these fakes and tell people they are factory refurbished is bullshit
do not buy fake controllers from ebay... (dude bought a stock of 5 controllers) just for joke! i bought 3 controllers and i knew its fake obviously! gave 1 to my nephew and built him a nice pc for gaming and tbh i kinda liked it. mine has 6 axis angles and do the work for 2d gaming
Bro thanks for your video I have understood something about it's .....actually a bout fake one yesterday🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank god my dad buys me an original controller
Thanks it sucks sony doesn't make these controllers or at least make the ps5 and ps4 backward compatible which would be the ideal situation.
So where can you actually buy a real one? Sony, bestbuy, etc. Are all completely out of stock! I really want to play Heavy Rain on the PS3 but cannot progress through the game without a sixaxis controller!
I have the very same problem.... Most of the ps3 controllers are out of stock or either fake....tbh i dont want to use a third partg controller. Maybe the only way i could buy an original ps3 controller is to buy ps3 games that comes with ps3 controller.. Like a special edition games... God of war collections comes with a red themed ps3 controller... Too bad though it cost $60 which is really expensive for a ps3 controller
@@nathanmahmod9025 I've actually found a official one on Ebay that works for the games that need a official controller! It was used, but it still works and looks great!
You can play heavy rain on PC and ps4 as well. Rpcs3 is an option too.
I bought a used one for $22.21 on ebay and it was black, it’s official too as the title claims to be.
good camparison!
Fud sisdi
Got mine, im sure its fake (judging from the price of $8) although, all buttons are analog except for the usual start, select, L3, R3 and PS button. tho the PS button is stuck/jammed. Sixaxis is fucked to hell, it constantly moves to the right. Haven't tried bluetooth yet, I don't have a dongle to sacrifice so im using it wired. Oh and big deadzones on the joysticks, bad for FPS.
Been enjoying it actually, will pry it open later.
The H at the end of model number stands for Hong Kong
mine was U
It's getting harder to find originals. It's a shame
someone should make a petition to sony to re-release the ps3 joystick
I bought this yesterday instead of the regular well reviewed third party ones as i used one of the original PS3 controller and the vibration and layout was amazing. I thought it would be good but bouy i was disappointed the monent i took it out kf the box. I should have understood already its a fake when it was priced less but the fact it had sony box i took the chance. It was cheap but i feel over whelemed to have two controllers for one guy when i could invest money somewhere else.
You also forgot to nentioj the bloody triggers which i mainly rely for racing games only activate at the end during 80% depressed and is super super sensitive and makes the experience mkre like a button than a trigger. And the left right motion is also pretty much only 50% travel after that it doesnt take input and already will be maxed out.
I use the fake red one, the L1 and the vibration is not working
Real good advises
do they work good on fps like call of duty or battle field ? I can't find any videos about that just people talking about them .
Alan Burch when i play call of duty it won't run
oh wow that sucks lol
dude i cant find a video of someone fixing this shit 😂😂
BINHFB2000 lol I know they look sick and stuff I got a nyko control but it's like playing on high when your not and it's like crazy
lol
The Fake Is More A PSX Shape, But Wireless…
Could you tell me where to buy a controller, maybe original, for the ps3? Also, is there a way to tell if a controller is real before buying it?
I have 3 fake they all work perfectly.
where can i get one?
predetor66 lol EBay sometimes Amazon
Try shooting games
Here in Mother Russia we dont take fake ps3 controllers ⚔
I don't care if it's fake. I CARE IF IT WORKS!
I don't care if it works for a while. I CARE IF IT LASTS!
there's this thing called precision
If u use fake ps controller on ur pc or laptop u will know the suffering
Since u r not using an original ps controller the game will know it as another controller and all the button will chnaged by number ex: press "button 14(which is O) to enter"
I bought a fake one and everything works except for when i need to turn my controller side to side to do a certain task in a game, that part dont work
Dude I can feel the controller
Just purchased an official dual shock 3 new for 20$.. Gotta just do your research.
TboneNYC10 where??
Hi. Is there any way to know online (looking at photos)? How about fake Playstation 3 games?
I bought a fake 1 and i have the analog stick problem but other than that its fine.
My mum gave me a fake ps3 controller as a present for my PS4 I really got mad with it i hate ps3 fake controllers
my white one’s last 3 on the bar code is 666... does that matter?
I know that why im have ps3 is my favourite ps
There's fake that it connect to Bluetooth my friend has it before so I can confirm this
Some of the original ps3 controllers are not glossy.
maybe it's fake lol
Hi I'm Fr no they are not fake, because it came with the original box sealed from the factory. Many things u can spot on the fake controllers.
What about the quality of the buttons? Is it usable?
Yeah! Thank you.
Please give me a joysticks
Thanks Yo ! Good information
lol thats not the original 1 there was 1 when it was released with original ps3 than dual shock came than fake came
Well I have the white one and it works
Is as fake as that crocodile skin on table
Thanks for this useful video
Thanks
I know a simple solution for not ending up with a fake controller, go to EB games
fuck wish i saw this video earlier
Does the fake version have sixaxis controls?
No. That is part of the problem with the fakes. The joysticks aren't accurate.
how about in CDR king?
Hienoo ettet oo hylänny kanavaa :)
where do u buy em ?
Anyone know where I can get a legit one?
Can you give me original controller I will give you money
Omg thats why my games are harder! Shitty fake controllers!!

Buy a wired controller and solve your problem forever like I did
Candice M Wired controllers aren't oem though therefore are trash.
@@stoopidhaters Power-A wired controllers are on the same quality level as original ps3, very high quality controllers.
