    Another reason to avoid fakes is due to compatibility issues. Most fakes, if not all, will not work with devices like the PSTV/Vita TV.
    It is possible to find authentic new in box DS3s in the wild, but they are usually hanging around in places with untouched stock like KHOLS and such.

      Or get one in an older box revision (like a 2006-2008). Or one that doesn’t have DualShock

      Only if you're a casual who never tried to play even slightly serious. I think for kids it's good enough. Like barely, for kids below 7 years old.

    Another thing I have found is, the bottom of the controller where you hold them, once held up to the light you can see through them, while the fakes you can't. I have the original controller that came with the system, it's not a dualshock so not sure if the real dualshocks are like that also.

      Only the old SIXAXIS controllers are like this! But nice observation. I was very surprised when I saw it the first time. Got my first SIXAXIS last year.
      I only had Dualshock controllers.

    Im still kinda confused on if my ps3 controller is real, however i installed a driver in my pc to connect a ps3 controller to it and as it seems it is real, everything looks nice and looks real (these controls are from 2011, and before these fake controllers were rare)

    Something I found out is that the more you specify that you want an "original Sony/ oem new/ sealed ps3 controller", the higher chance you're gonna run into a fake, I bought 3 "new" ps3 controllers and they all were fakes in original packaging, with one going for $80 was in the old school full plastic style packaging, this motherfucker literally cut and glued the sealed plastic back. Then I just said fuck it and bought a used one for $15, Sony authentic, with sixaxis and dualshock, works perfectly, was just dirty. Btw, easiest ways to know for sure is to use your PC or testing the sixaxis can also be an easy way to test, none of the fakes I bought had working sixaxis
