I have come across some fakes now that keep flashing and the only way I was able to tell in the end was the motherboard inside was not one used by sony. there are some pretty insane fakes now a days it even used a battery that was the same kind the oem it just didnt quite have the same markings but it was in that same gray housing.only thing that even gave it away was they used a different analog stick internals and the motherboard layout was not quite right. but if you did not open it this one would fool someone quite easily
Ebay sellers are so dishonest you will contact them about their product they are like yeah it's authentic upon delivery you want back your money right away but i learn the trick with the ps4 controllers i can definitely spot a fake when i see one check the labels on the back huge give away there.
Just check the power pack should be Gray always with a hardplastic cover and you can feel the difference in weight and build quality specially in the tumbsticks
Another easy way is to look throught the speaker grill. Genuine controllers have a shiny metal plate that can be seen, knock offs are dark grey. I have 6 og Sonys all have this. I also have 2 knockoffs both have the dark grey.
I have a fake one, i could tell because on top, there’s no cut out for the y in sony, but it’s a great controller tbh had no problems and i’ve had it for around 2 years
Did you message the seller and tell them that if it’s a counterfeit product you’ll be reporting them & getting a refund because it’s not the product being advertised and sold by them? Like before paying and ordering.
Yup i have a fake First of all The ps button does not even have the ps logo Second of all there is no sony logo where the light bar is at And thats all
Sorry you'd probably moved on, but if you shake the real one (hold the right handle with your hand and shake in up & down), can you hear any rattling noises inside the bottom left handle? Research told me it's normal even for a genuine one, it's just the weight use to create rumble. But I'm still skeptical.
This video is to show people how to check if they have been "scammed" into buying a counterfeit controller. These were claimed to be genuine Sony controllers.
It matters when someone is playing a game where for example it needs aim and the controller starts swifiting to the left for some weird reason and u only have the controller for a month tops, after 5 controllers it matters
Considering how much they last compared to a genuine one, even if kept and cared at good condition, it does matters. Bad analog sensitivity, bad pressure on buttons, sounds louder, battery lasts less, etc. ,just horrible for gaming
I'm honestly not sure if my new one is a fake or not - the package didn't come with a charger and buttons dont make loud clicks but the back part is different
I bought a new ps4 pro 2 months ago and its controller had problems first it used to move the analogs by it self second it had problems with stuck buttons this thing got annoying and i cold not take it anymore i bought a new one and it feels kinda different but only time will tell if it is real or fake.
Its obvious you got a fake the only detail this guy is not mentioning is the serial number label is grey color i know thats not going to help you spot a fake on ebay its a very basic thing to notice I don’t see why you would get a ps4 controller from ebay its always best to get it from an official retailer
I realized I have a fake one Works fine for all game that don't require precision aiming with the analog sticks And I don't feel bad throwing it on the floor when pissed off lol
Depends how good the fake is and what it’s made from, most fakes have something wrong with them as soon as you buy them and don’t last very long either

also put the fake on a charger hub too see if the light flashes if the lgith flashes one time it is a fake if it keeps flashing it is a real one

I wish i watched this before I bought a controllers on the internet
Yeah bro always buy controllers at walmart or target
@@splitzlol269 I do now lol

@@splitzlol269 or bestbuy
Or playstation.com

Damn. I knew the second I felt the thumbsticks on mine that it was a knock off.
Never buying stuff from the internet ever again.
I had a fake ps3 as a kid and it worked but I never realized how trashy it was because of the cool color
Fake ps3 or fake ps3 pad ? 💀
Another easy way is to look throught the speaker grill. Genuine controllers have a shiny metal plate that can be seen, knock offs are dark grey. I have 6 og Sonys all have this. I also have 2 knockoffs both have the dark grey.
My share button is soft and option button is making noise on pressing
That’s why I always buy from a official shop
Less weight because the fake ones use a 600mah bag style battery and the official on has a 800mah battery encased in a gray plastic case
Thanks now when my parents get me a new ps4controller I can make sure it's real or fake
Mine dosent has the serial number
Use the fake and keep the original inside the box in prestine condition✨
#1 to look out for:
Icon by the Charging Port.
Original: engraved
Fake: embosed
Is this Heath Ledger???
😹😹😹😹😹
Fake controllers also don’t have the engraved usb logo.
I have a fake one, i could tell because on top, there’s no cut out for the y in sony, but it’s a great controller tbh had no problems and i’ve had it for around 2 years
Also, The Charging Input logo.
if its engraved, Its Original
if its not, then u have a fake.
Yeah that’s a good spot tbh
Yeah mines fake
Still support you man keep doing what your doing

I never trust eBay fake controller i just buy the ps4 controller at Wal-Mart they got real controller I have it right now its better then eBay
Yea sometimes the letters on the SHARE button are squished together on the fake one
I had a fake controller and it was better then Sony’s lol was a little tougher and had a long battery life
Thanks, this is the simple method to spot the difference 👌
Yup i have a fake
First of all
The ps button does not even have the ps logo
Second of all there is no sony logo where the light bar is at
And thats all
Manysupergamer hd it’s not fake, you have a third-party controller.
Noo.. U found one on Amazon for really cheap with no sony Logo WHATSOEVER and its fake 😱😱😬 😭💁
😂😂😂😂
Mine isn't fake. Bought directly from PlayStation but my share and options button click
Do you mean you bought from Sony?
@@audinutt Yes, Sony. Sorry that's what I meant
@@audinutt mine also click and they're undeniably original, yours must be wore down a little
@@vin4679 mine were brand new out of the box. Maybe they're using different switches now than when I made the video?
Yeah mine clicks too had it for over a year, think it’s normal
Sorry you'd probably moved on, but if you shake the real one (hold the right handle with your hand and shake in up & down), can you hear any rattling noises inside the bottom left handle? Research told me it's normal even for a genuine one, it's just the weight use to create rumble. But I'm still skeptical.
Yes!
I bought a fake and it’s analog sticks were getting stuck and the charge was only like an hour and a half
Mine too but so far i notice that it has a soft fucking buttons
it just means its cheap, theres nothing wrong with it you can still play games.

thank you so much for this video :)
So glad I went to Best Buy to get my Magma controller. They had over 40 I would say and 25 white controllers
Sheesh really? I can’t find any not in the black color at any of my local stores. Sony’s website also only has the red and camo options
I'm honestly not sure if my new one is a fake or not - the package didn't come with a charger and buttons dont make loud clicks but the back part is different
It's fake bro

How to spot it easly is the first one breaks is the fake one.
Fake one - back side written sony computer
Real one - back side written sony interactive
Its obvious you got a fake the only detail this guy is not mentioning is the serial number label is grey color i know thats not going to help you spot a fake on ebay its a very basic thing to notice I don’t see why you would get a ps4 controller from ebay its always best to get it from an official retailer
Will say a month ago go done like tht buying on exchange trade app, I’m like you...........”JUST GO AND BUY IN STORE 🏬
most sellers on ebay are drop shippers and only car about the middle man money 🤷🏽♂️
The fake one usb symbol is on the surface, and the original one is not.
real ps4 controllers have the symbol.
I realized I have a fake one
Works fine for all game that don't require precision aiming with the analog sticks
And I don't feel bad throwing it on the floor when pissed off lol
Lmao I would throw it to
How would u connect the fake one to the ps4
Just like normal with USB
I just bought a red dualshock 4 from ebay and it looks legit especially for the price I paid for it
My serial number on mine doesn't have any letters is this normal I have the gen 2 and am in the U.S
I also bought it from walmart
Can you look on mind and see if it's fake?
I don’t really care if it’s fake or not I only care if it works
I didn't ask if you cared, this video is informational. Your opinion here is invalid.
@@audinutt lmfaooo
Triggered fake controller users below
Mine doesng have a cerise number
Thank god! I got a controller for my birthday, turns out it’s real!
Yo i will also buy one for bday
I will also buy one for my bday lmao
Mine came with a cable does that mean it’s fake but it also looks legit?
If your controller came with a wire for charging then the controller most likely is a fake one.
I bought one it cost me 23 bucks brandnnew and iits a clone fake as fuck
Does it work good tho?
Depends how good the fake is and what it’s made from, most fakes have something wrong with them as soon as you buy them and don’t last very long either
Thank you you helped me
Bro I need to return mine
I dispise China!
Is there a real controller on ebay under 35 dollars?
[] Deadskullgamer[] nope😂
R.I.P
Nice video
