@@thejamokeflips yessir
If there's one thing I've learned in my life, it's that absolutely no controller is as good as a proper Sony Playstation controller
Nothing as good as the OG!!
They can't put da COMPANY LOGO or NAMES on box or product if its fake bro. Now REFURBISHED yessir that seems true but not fake as in a knock off company rebranding their product 2 look and or imitate SONY'S PRODUCTS. Sry not tryin 2 be a D-head bout it just speaking from experience from work environment(lol cant say much but that work environment)but nice catch on some smaller details that I've seen pros would've let em slip by.🤙👍
Yes,my cousin got his ps4 before me and he still has his original controller working fine,I broke the original and I have to replace the new controller I bought already
💯
Yeah, but 70 bucks for just a controller... Just think about how much food you can buy with that
It’s almost scary how good that fake looks, unless you’ve got a keen eye people could easily be fooled by that
would it make any difference tho?
@@DK-xb7re wdum?
@@JBKShadow09 if it actually the same like the orginal one?
@@DK-xb7re hmm I know they look and maybe even feel pretty similar but the fake one should be lower quality and less durable etc.
@@DK-xb7re exterior doesn't rly matter, the I terior is were the problem lies.
Cheaper parts make the controller have worse quality, and less durable
The real problem with telling a fake from real controller is there are “too” many versions of the original and therein, a fake can pass as another variant of the original, plus there are good quality fakes out there
If only they could nail the durability of the sticks, i just might actually accept them.
Despite being mostly cheaply built all the way from the buttons themselves to the battery, those feel decent enough. But the sticks breaking after 3 weeks of use from a supposed "new fake" is absurd.
I got a PS4 controller a few weeks ago and was confused why its Bluetooth name on the PC was just "Wireless Controller" when I connected it a few days ago. It looks and feels fine, not a single thing actually is off in terms of quality. Only the Bluetooth name gave it away.
@@Akuba my DS4 is the original one that came with the console itself. Still, when i plug It on Pc, the name that apears is wireless controller. Other programas, such as steam, or rewasd recognize as a DS4.
If you been playing for years you will notice by the weight and how the button feels
@@Akuba legitimate PS4 and ps5 controller names are "wireless controller" if connected by Bluetooth
Just stumbled across this vid. While watching I also noticed that the fake unit says “Sony ComputerEntertainment Inc.” while the real unit says “Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.” My wife bought this for Christmas ‘21 and I’ve been having so many problems with this fake unit recently. Now I know why.
Good Eye‼️👁✅️
Nice find Mr. Flip
hmmmm - problem about this SCE VS SIE
SCE was V1 models pre V1.5 ( if you will )
- as BATMAN ARKHAM KNIGHT's bundle I've got from DAY-1 purchase says exactly SCE
this was 2015 !!
- then, V1.5 where UNCHARTED 4 console bundle announced just the following season at 2016, as SCE brand slightly updated to SIE / Sony Interactive Entertainment then
-
SO there's the facts about SCE / SIE change back in '15 - '16
ANOTHER bit was the packaging on the FAKE was shown perfectly covers the DS4 in curvy ends, then the ORIGINAL just flat ??
-
curvy covers slated for ALL REGION 1s which be US / CA (Canada) - then the flat covers were non REGION 1s - HongKong / Asias, NOT Japan strangely
-
1 / 2
IF only this comparison made showcasing SIDE to SIDE - then highlight the differences from start, we'd see better which is which
but besides the points
-
DEAD giveaway from the FAKE was the inclusion of USB cable and that was it, really
all else's unless broken down, there's NO telling which was which
-
2 / 2
That's it man, that does it, time to file a divorce
Most people call them fake, and sellers call thm "After market" or "Genuine REAL PS4 controllers" but they are all veru different internally. the cheap Chinese batteries are larger than the normal PS4 ones, but some how last a shorter amount of time (something that blows my mind). The analog sticks are more brittle and prone to break much easier. and a LOT of them missing the sticker on the back as they only have to sell it based on photos of the front (or in a box where you can't see the back.)
If its not second hand, but it's at a second hand price (or came from Alibaba) its likely fake.
About the Batteries, probably used batteries?
@@LennyQUMFIF depending on wat they made the battery with, the efficiency might be less, we like to do lithium batteries, idk wat Chinese use
This is especially true with fake Dualshock 3s. The joy durability though...
How the fuck do you go from making an almost one-to-one aftermarket chinese copy that actually feels good to use and you can scam someone with, to joys that don't last a single fucking month??
And the lack of Sixaxis is just the cherry on top...
the bstterys on those knockoffs are usually 600Mah, a real one is 1000, the mb of the fake is very diff 2, u cant even use sony parts on them
@@joaohenriques794 I learnt that the hard way and sent my (previously unkown, though I had a lot of suspicion) fakes ones to repair.
First the white one I got with my system when I bought it second hand, that one's on me, but the second I bought in an apparently "refurbished" condition (formal way of saying it's a fake ig) and later after repair I was told both were fake and original parts didn't fit.
The repair guy brute forced the parts into it to...well, lesser success as the drift was almost worse than with the chinese crap that was broken in them already.
So I asked the guy to just put the chinese sticks back. I lost about 20 bucks on this...plus the controllers themselves.
There aren't even any official DS3s on sale in this country, as I was told by the pawn-shop owner he visits the UK frequently to scour PS3 related things.
Oh yeah, I've definitely had to deal with this issue a few years back with a few controllers and learned my lesson. Amazon has duplicates. I complained a few times over the years, but nothing has changed. You pretty much noticed everything I did, also the sticker on the bottom it's not set correctly on the fake while on the official Dualshock 4, it's perfectly placed.
There use to be more 3rd party resellers on amazon selling controllers as new, but I believe now they are not allowed to sell controllers as "new"
The computer entertainment part is what confirmed it for me.
Amazon does not care, it’s up to the buyer now to look up if the seller is a discount knockoff store in asia.
some people are truly just that smart am i right?
These fake ones were on sale like crazy on OfferUp a few years ago they were $40
The light blue swirls on top of box used to be a dead giveaway, I see they've fixed that. Still using molded plastic window on the fake ones though.
Also, the official ones don't come with a microUSB cord.
Ah cool I didn't notice that detail, awsome I'll add that to my list. I only buy from electronics stores now so I have a come back if I happen to get a fake but my assumption is that generally they are get their products direct from the actual manufacturers as opposed to individuals on ebay, Amazon, TradeMe or wherever getting them from who knows where.
Is the ps3 plastic window fake?
Real ones can come with plastic molded windows too though
@@oppofieldpower9555 ok because I have a red ps3 controller and it’s in a plastic window
So I now know why one of my controllers doesn't feel right. It didn't have all of the things that you said but it's definitely a really good fake. Also sucks because I bought it on Amazon, albeit from a vendor type shop. Thank you Sir, you've done us all a great service.
Yep, gotta watch out for the 3rd party resellers on Amazon
Well what matters if it gets the job done properly
@@herobrinegreek9493 you're kind of right but also wrong. Sure, it works but it's like playing on a controller that was dropped and has stick drift. It would be sitting on the table and the reticle would just randomly jump a little in a random direction. This happened with both sticks and one of tge buttons would stick. Visually the controller was almost perfect. During play it was nothing less than annoying.
@@jcstahl1986 My household is having struggles with money just like so many others, so we do have one. A fake controller is at least 20€ cheaper which may not seem that big of a difference but trust me there are decent one's at 30€
@@herobrinegreek9493 never said anything in regards to your finacial status, just that mine has obvious problems. It is also a counterfeit that was priced the same as a genuine one. I bought mine because it was a special color/design but got something fake that I would absolutely not have paid full price for.
You just saved me $40. I was *this close* to buying a controller on eBay that had the same type of packaging as the fake one.
Glad to Help, thanks for watching!
Ya, don't purchase a controller with the form fitting plastic/clamshell packaging.
I bought 10 of them from a seller. Got them. Told them I wanted to send them back because they were fake. Fake ones always have the charging cord despite box saying it wont. He just refunded my money and never wanted them back.
@@nonyabizz3533 damn 10 controllers for free😂
Yea, saved me too. Almost bought from eBay. New York seller. White black red and this blue for sale $40 each. You can see the stretched SHARE in the photos..
I have a fake Sunset Orange controller that gives NO indication that it's fake, it is literally a perfect replica. I only know it's fake because the box wasn't right and the charging light blinks fast. I use it and keep my real Sunset boxed, it works okay but feels funny. The Chinese have gotten very good at copying.
Whatever helps you sleep at night
@@KQ_Offsuit bruh,I literally recently got burned with that comment while talking to someone on ps4 recently
Conspiracy:" China spreading communism"
Is it really a surprise? So much stuff in the US is made in china (even PlayStation parts are made there!). Heck I once had a T-shirt that had in bold letters; Made in USA....then underneath it in small print letters; Made in China. Looking over the few legit Dualshock 3 back stickers that aren't faded on my controllers, they say Made in China!
@@DarthDragon007 I mean we compete with everyone and usually win in the USA so I could see why they would copy
I've recently ordered 2 DS4 controllers from Amazon. According to your video, luckily I got 2 originals. So much fake crap is saled on the marketplaces of the big e-commerce companies nowadays. It's a pain in the ass.
Especially the 3rd party Amazon FBA sellers, although I think they have cracked down on a lot of them
Which one was it
You likely got scammed but just didn't realize it
The back sticker on the real one reads "Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc" while the fake one reads "Sony ComputerEntertainment Inc" xD
They can't get everything right. lol
Nobody commenting about how seamless the voice recording was, felt like hearing you directly not from a headphone
Appreciate it, actually used my Blue Yeti Microphone for this one
You're out here giving life tips, way too underrated
thanks, Appreciate you
easiest way to tell is the "SONY" text in front of the box. og one is always subtle & wider, while the fake one is thicker.
Did anyone notice the HUGE IMPERFECTION on the casing next to the Share button?? Holy cow!!
i noticed it
I noticed it but it was not mentioned in the video???? Looks like it is around 5 year old and got damaged but fresh out a box!
Absolutely original one have a great finish while the fake one isn’t...
It's because the creator is lying. He turned the PS4 on with "FAKE" controller. That means he's been playing with it & that's how it got cracked. He put it back inside the box & pretended like it was a brand new controller. How can a brand new controller turn your PS4 on fresh out the box?
If you read the label on the back, the authentic one says "Sony Interactive Entertainment" while the fake one says "Sony Computer Entertainment" 5:18
There we go
I knew it!!! LOL Wifey got me a new controller, i told her it felt different.
and? she tried lmfao
@Carlo Mig 😂
was it the sticks like stiff cus i just got a new controller but sticks are really stiff
Original controller have a seal in the box you have to cut to opened and sorry but both of this ones are good copies!!!
@@criscuautle1977 if they are stiff the they are broken or fake
There are so many different versions, plus the fact that Sony has production in Japan and China. Both countries set them up a little different, and it's been that way since ps2 maybe earlier. If you actually open them up you'll see that everytime they make a new model they change how it's built, and that could also be part of the weight difference. The 1st model only lights up on the light bar, but later models had both the light bar as well as a small bar of light over the touch pad itself. Still possibility for a fake controller I guess, but usually the offbrands will use a whole different battery.
Good insight, I'm not to the point where I'm opening the controllers & doing the refurb thing
@@thejamokeflips I'm just starting out myself so I'm no expert. I could still be wrong, but I figured the best way to learn is to always question. Never accept something as straight fact without doing some looking into it yourself. Sometimes you, could be right, sometimes you could be wrong, and sometimes you're somewhere in the middle.
The one with the light through the bar is the slim controller, the other is the og model
The fake one will have tons of issues like shorter battery life, mine had an issue where when you press buttons while earphones are plugged the sound will be interrupted due to bad power distribution or something. And the speakers were too loud and had awful quality. The touchpad isn't scratch proof.
Yep, the details will start showing up after time
I just bought a fake PS4 controller for just 9 USD in Pakistan. It's working great. No complaints at all
LFG! Good for you man!
So easy to know which is which simply by the cover
This has been a problem for ps3 controllers for a while. It's upsetting that it's happening with ps4 controllers now.
You can hook up a PS4 controller to a PS3 through bluetooth, we did that after ordering fake ps3 controllers by accident, too bad that PS4 controllers are soon to be obsolete
it's pretty easy to find out if a DS4 is a fake, if you try to use it on a PS5 it is blocked from use, simply doesn't work at all, only official DS4s work with the PS5 only, Sony quietly did this at the PS5 release to block fakes from working on the console
Good to Know
You know it’s a dead giveaway when it comes with the charging cable like damn bro all the authentic ones I’ve gotten all didn’t come with one lmao
Yep, Charging cable is a giveaway
And I have noticed that the buttons to an original controller are more shiney than the fake, for instance observe the share buttons
The biggest giveaway for me is the weight. When you pick up a fake one, it feels lighter right away. When I weighed it, it was ~25 grams lighter than a real one. The analog sticks on the fake aren't as nice. The rubber coating looks thinner and is not as grippy.
Ya, when you are use to holding a real controller in your hand and you pick the fake up you can feel the difference
3:47. This milling around the touch pad is a pretty good giveaway too. Like somebody bumped the machine while it was working lol
in my experience, a fake one feels rough and feel inferior, and the light on the front feels bright and cheap, they normally don't connect to ps5 with a cable, and the battery runs dry quicker and charges quicker too.
The color, the sticker (not being flat) and the Company name are some other ways you can tell also. On an authentic controller it should say 'Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc' not 'Sony ComputerEntertainment Inc' notice no gap between 'Computer' and 'Entertainment' also. I have been caught out twice, before I realised that there are even fakes out there. Reason being they look pretty damn good at first glance, but then you get minor issues here and there or they don't feel quite the same as the one that came with the console and upon closer inspection you realise something's not quite right. I don't understand why they don't put in a little more effort to make them perform better and just sell them as what they are, third party controllers? Then maybe they'd make some honest money minus any legal risks. It seems obvious to me that who ever is producing them has the ability. Anyway thanks for the video, safe shopping everyone and shame on the seller's who know you've got fakes but play ignorant. Advertise them as such and price them accordingly your customer's will respect you more and may even come back.
I've seen some of those that say "dobleshock" on the box, looks pretty legit to me.
I wanted to get another berry blue controller and ordered one from Ebay, it turned out be fake 😫. Thank god my original berry blue still works 💕
Happened to me to, you can return and get your money back for the product being inauthentic
It's 2023 why do people still buy PS4 controllers?
This is exactly why i barely bought a dualshock 4 today at walmart and also cause they been extinct for awhile in store's. I swear it's a trip how there's a fake everything in this world 😑
Bro where i live i literally had to pay 70 for a original controller
@@briannasingh6065 70? In my country it's 80. A fake one doesn't sound that bad in comparison as long as it makes the job and you're careful
At Least At Walmart, You Know For Sure That You're Buying A Real DS4 😬🤷🏿♂️
@@ChrisJWattsTV Yup. If it's still manufactured i'll buy it brand new at a store especially cause the way controllers drift these days as well. I'll only buy a controller online on ebay if it's for an older console where it's not made anymore but even then i'm real careful. As matter of fact i might go buy me another spare dualshock 4 at walmart before they all of a sudden stop stocking them 😅
There is also microprinting on the back of the box, at the bottom. You may be able to read it with a macro lens, it's really tiny text like banknote security.
The small details reveal all
There is a way you can tell without even getting em out of the box. The fake ones got the plastic wrapped around the analog sticks were the real one does not.
Sorry there those with the plastic not wrapped around them joysticks, evidenced when I bought one sir
Looking at the middle Logo is probably the best bet I'm guessing
And the charging cord. Every fake one I had the dummy's put a charging cord in
Just after buying my controller UA-cam decides to recommend me this, and it even is the same color as mine.
They know everything about you, bet your real name isn't Beny either
Thank you now I know which one is real and I spotted a game store with like fifty fake ones couple weeks ago
Thank you now I know which one is real and I spotted a game store with like fifty fake ones couple weeks ago
on the back of the controller the real one has MODEL CUH-ZCT2U on left hand corner and WIRELESS CONTROLLER on the right hand corner the fake doesnt have it written like that!!!thank you please hit that like!!!
For sure, thanks for watching!
thx for the head up i almost buy a fake one
Yep you're welcome, they are out there
thx man the video helped me almost bought a fake one, i have to say they are looking almost identical to the official ones
Ya, if you don't know what to look for you can certainly get okie doked
I would like to highlight that the fake one lights up a turquoise blue color when in search mode.(When you press the PS Button) The real one has a more light blue color close to white.
Could be, I didn't look to much into the colors
@@thejamokeflips It Is one of the key things to look out for because I had a similar experience and was able to identify the fake one using this fact.
Great video! There is one more clue that I noticed on my fake controller and you have it as well on yours: The USB symbol is debossed on the ORIGINAL and embossed on the FAKE one.
If it comes with a chord it’s fake 😂
Definitely,I was like oh shit it came with ah charger lmao shit fake as hell
I am dissapointed
That's what I'm thinking they do not come with a cable lol. All my ps4 controller are real and I have 4 of them. Still use them and great for PC gaming for FFXIV.
@@CRYPTiCEXiLE can u sell me one of them?
@@EternalFlameProductions 💀
All these new controllers; PS5, Xbox, Pro Switch, PC randos, but I still fall back to a solid PS4 controller.
Love the PS4
I remember that a few years ago a bought one original, it took sometime to finally arrive and surprise! It was a "double shock for Pz4" oh boy, that seller made me laugh for a few days.
lol, PZ4, one of my favorite consoles
Opened a return case on eBay after watching this video. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, Glad to help, you will certainly get your $$$ back if within the return timeframe
I got a fake one, which was called DoubleShock on the box. I didn't mind, though. I just wanted it to play on PC with Steam Input, as PS controllers did include Gyro controls. However, that was a couple years ago, and even if the main buttons are already worn out and don't have any icon anymore, it still works as good as it did the day I bought it. I even tested it on a PS4 that a friend of mine had, and it worked fairly well.
Honestly, if every fake controller was as good as the one I got, I wouldn't mind at all if controllers were genuine or not.
Ya, sometimes things work out for the best
Didn't even know people would make fakes of these controllers
They'll make fakes of anything that they can make some $$, especially in the electronics field
this video is very real man very happy for the truth of the fake controller great video👍👍👍👍
That's right I am Very Real Man
What gave the fake one away for me is that the SONY logo on the fake box had a bold setting on the font.
The fakers can never get their fonts right, to bold, stretched, etc.. That seems like the easy part to me
I should’ve watched this video before I ordered a ps4 controller from Walmart, but I’m happily got the real controller
Never had a problem with the big retailers having fakes, just watch out if you're getting a pre-owned controller from Pawnshops, GameStop, Flea Markets, Garage Sales, etc... or eBay
If you attempt to play with a fake one you'll get a notification on your playstation telling you that the controller your using is unofficial and that it may not work properly.
Sometimes not all the time though
I bought a fake one purposely (cos I'm a student). Some features lacking, example vibration (but I fixed it with another free software). Other than that, works fine. So if you're short on budget, fakes are an option (depends on seller)
My controller doesnt have that unofficial notification though...
You can tell from the weight. I’ve held my og controller for years, and my buddy gave me one, no issues. I bought another one on offer up and man that thing was super light, felt like it was gonna break. Luckily I got my money back.
Edit: just saw you weight it lol
Slight difference, but you can definitely tell if you play a good amount
@@thejamokeflips yea I’m a no life… instantly felt the difference.
If the fake controllers didn't have massive input lag after a few months of usage I wouldn't mind them but they all have it. It sounds stupid because it is but I bought 2 new spare controllers from gamestop for the future just in case I ever want to play my ps4 again.
the one i recently got off Amazon seems legit based on this video... it meets all the visual cues at least... it feels very light and "cheap" in my hands, but to be fair i haven't bought a new one in maybe 5 years... it's possible that the legit ones are simply made more efficiently than the older models...
i checked other sites before buying and nobody had any better options... it used to be simple as Sony was the only legit seller on Amazon for buying them new but now they have moved on to selling PS5 controllers...
Ya, gotta go to an authorized retailer or get from Sony, but Sony is on the Amazon listing
Oh well. This just made me be smarter on buying from retail sellers.
Yep, gotta do what ya gotta do
Thanks man you saved 387.196 person with your video.
Glad to Help, thanks for watching!!
This was a Great video, thankyou!!
Thanks Aqua Mayne... btw AquaMayne > AquaMan
That included cable is a dead giveaway. Other signs to watch for:
Typos in the packaging’s fine print
Inconsistency in the model codes between the regional packaging or the controller label
Sloppy molding, especially in fine details like the speaker holes
Protective plastic tabs stuck to the touch screen
Nonstandard screws
If you take the effort to open it up, the battery is glaringly obvious in the fakes
Good Checklist
The fake one came in like one of them toys you get at your local dollar store
Or out of a Cereal Box, lol
Thanks for the vid. I had my mom order a dualshock 4 and i thought it was fishy shipping from china when that was never specified on the website. The plastic quality is messed up all the text is offset so this saved me from having a broken controler in a few weeks from now.
thanks for watching, glad to help!
I have bought a extra controller from China, and I can tell it's definitely a trash one,first the feeling of the material is not same as my original ps4 controller(it just feels like inferior plastic) and it's more light, and a main problem is the pad dead zone is big asf,even i turn it into zero,I also can feel it obviously , especially when I play race game(it's so disturbing). And after about 2 months playing, my USB port can't work ,and now I use my original one again,.So the point is if you want to buy a extra controller, don't buy one cause it's cheap ,buy a good one although it's more expensive ,but you can use more longer and comfortable.
Gotta get the standup charger for the remotes
@@thejamokeflips it can only be this way 😩
Looks like the quality of fake DS seriously improved since DS2.
No Doubt
I hate to be that guy but you have done a terrible job at differentiating the two, the only way one can tell the difference between the two is if they held one b4(use of experience) otherwise it’s nearly impossible One can argue weight, 0.6 doesn’t make a difference for a newbie to tell them apart that’s how good the counterfeits are even after watching this video😢
Lol, first one in a million views, Guess you missed the 10 other things besides the weight that were pointed out. Biggest tell is the Logo in the middle of the controller, Even a Newbie could notice that, not to mention the sideways stickers and logo on the back. Literally point my finger to the very exact spot with close ups, not sure I can help you any more my man
Am done with ps4 😊am now playing ps5, the pads are very strong and long lasting tho it’s very costly
What an Accomplishment! Congrats!
Doing god’s work
“I actually have a scale right here” turns the scale on as if he did it a million times 😂
Use that scale everyday for selling on eBay
I definitely got a original controller. But it took a while to get my hand one one since they are literally extinct, same with the console itself. I got lucky with the last controller at a Saturn.
I just ordered 1 too.i hope it's not fake
Let us know how the controller turns out
Luckily, you can still buy them at PlayStation Direct and maybe some local stores like Target and Best Buy
Ya the legit stores are going to have legit sticks
Costco still has some too
Fake ps4 controller makers when they find this video:
Yep, They will still be sold
If the fake one is cheaper and it works properly - even if the buttons are hard and the quality is somewhat poorer - I'll still buy the cheap one because everything is just so expensive now.
Same brother
Lots of people going this way
Really bad idea
"Yeah bro I got a spare controller"
The spare controller:
I purchased the one on the left from Walmart.
Seems like a good place to pickup a real one
To be honest, the fake controllers are really just a reminder to buy the real controllers because not only do the real controllers look better but they also perform better through the system too. Chances are, if you buy a fake controller you'll experience some sort of a delay either with the analog sticks or a couple of the buttons. Trust me, i know this from experience. Also, the fake controllers are a reminder to take good care of your devices because you never know when Sony or even Microsoft will completely stop making certain models of controllers and when it might be hard to find certain models of controllers from third-party sellers many years down the line.
Yep
Best comparing video, thx :)
Thanks Yana!
It scary how fake one are getting better every year if your not an experienced ps4 controller you can be easily fooled by the fake one.
Ya, No doubt, if you haven't felt a real one you can be easily fooled by the fakes
U know damn well it's fake if the controller is glossy 💀
Some of the colors on real DS4s are kinda glossy
The easiest thing to see is the back of the model (sticker) if it is Sony computer entertainment (fake) Sony interactive entertainment (real)
Ya, they like to mess up names
You can easily tell which is fake without openig the box, if you can see a usb cable is fake, If you cant see one if you shake it and feel something like a cable then it has one and if it has a cable is fake
bs
It's really sad a original controller without a cable. So, if the manufacturer treats you like shit and forces you to buy the cable that must be included to charge the controller, it's the original?
Oh thats why i just replaced my controller and bought one of ebay wich was half the cost ofc. But playing i noticed the R2 L2 buttons felt like they had a dead zone and the joysticks had a weird dead zone wich i couldn't get used too. First i thought i just needed to get used to fresh buttons but now i saw your video the markings are indeed off at alot of points. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, Glad to help you identify!
I have a question. Could you send me a link of the Amazon Controller under this comment? I wanna see if I have bought the right one
Hey Slimely, thanks for watching, link is in the description, but here it is... amzn.to/2Ttq64d
I use a genuine DS4 controller for PC and MacBook Pro gaming and performs great.
Testing emulation software PSOne and PS2 games and also some vintage arcade through MAME Plus and very great performance. Very comfortable feeling. ❤
That's great!
though ik nothing is better than the real thing, just know sony wont make them forever, controllers stop working at some point without any way to fix em, its good that there is even a second option
Yep, even the real controllers have issues from my experience
The details most folks wouldnt notice until the thing craps out. I bought my second controller from BB. it's fine
Best Buy is a legit store to buy from
5:15 I also noticed that on the label of the fake one that it says Model: CUH-ZCT which from my understanding is the earlier Version 1 of the controller (whereas the newer Version 2 has the numeral 2 in the model number such as CUH-ZCT2U) but yet, the light shines through the top of the touchpad which is only supposed to be a Version 2 feature.
Ya, the fake is made with cheaper parts, so it may have something to do with that
The 1st thing I noticed is that the Real ones don’t have arrow indicators on the dial pads. The fake does 😂. Thanks for this videos tho
Thanks for watching Da Reed!
Just because it’s fake, doesn’t mean it’s nonfunctional.
Fake does function, but when you buy one you want it to be authentic
getting a real one and using it for 3 years is better than getting a fake one and throwing it away after 2 months
Man thanks for that buddy much love see y'all in paradise❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks mayne
i honestly just want a controller that doesn't drift idc if its the real deal or not
That's the reason I had to get a new controller, decided to make this vid when I realized I got Okie Doked
I've never had a drift problem on any of my PlayStation controllers going back to the original DualShock. They're always first party controllers.
Same here. My original drift and the fake one drift too and all the d-pad stop working
great video, you helped a lot of people that uses consoles
Thanks for watching
I got a fake one and it started malfunctioning since day 1, played some doom 2016 with it and trying to aim with it was a miserable experience
If you open them up the fake one has a crappy tiny blue battery in it. The real one has a battery that is over twice the size of the fake ones
Probably where the weight difference comes in
Well.. I got a fake one when my controller arrive, the seller is acting little bit different. Not just that my controller sony at the back is comepletely fake, it's just a sticker
If you look at the fake at 3:44, you can see the imperfection to the right of the SHARE button.
Good Eye
i have no problems playing with fake ps4 controllers. yes, it is crappy. analog behaves like sh*t, deadzone is too high so no precise movements, vibration & speaker feels cheap.
but, you can make the controller behaves like the original. most fake/oem controllers now use same connectors of vibration motor, analog sticks, r2/l2 pad, conductive film as the original v2 ds4 if I'm not mistaken. the battery uses connector like v1 ds4.
if u know and good at solder, you're at luck but u had to cash out money a bit.
in my place, these set of original components would cost under $5. i replaced everything i can in the fake controller with the original ones. and voila, u just got yourself an "original" ds4 and i never have complained about it ever since. everything works like the original. still running for a year and still working like a charm!
i think the most noticeable point is d-pad arrow icons. one in the fake ones are so distinct but at the real one its hard to see.
Ya, the colors are subtle, it's all in the details
If it comes with a cord it’s 100% fake, that’s a major tipoff.
Yep
I literally just told my mom how she got scammed buying knockoff and fake ps4 controllers yesterday and this video pops up in my recommended. Coincidence? I. Think. Not.
UA-cam is listening! Go easy on Mom though, she doesn't know any better and she was just trying to get you a controller, thanks for watching!
@@thejamokeflips oh yeah I didn’t figure it out til years later after she bought the controllers and did a test, I’m sure I thanked her because I didn’t know better if they were fake.
Thats an exquisite fake.
