In 02:48 you can also see that the SONY logo has a bit different font on the right box of the fake controller (letters are a bit thicker as well).
TRA is telephone regulatory authority. ME is middle east. The right box seems original but sold in middle east asia.
The only way to detect a fake is how they feel/weigh, the analog / triggers and 100% sure only by looking at the motherboard and battery. None of this is possible without opening the box.
Thank you so much for making this video. I've been wanting to purchase one online since my old one is kinda busted now, but I don't want to get scammed into buying a fake controller
What website did you go to to buy a controller
Go to a shop and buy one mate, if you're that worried. If it's fake.... Just take it back. BUT 'Bay and Amazon are superb about getting your money back. Ive had fake memory sticks (u know.. Advertise 250gb, even READ as 250gb...but are 500mb trash... I got a fake GShock watch... An AMAZING fake. I wouldn't have known if I wasnt a big watch collector... In that case guy refunded me £200, so i had a £20 fake gshock, that Really REALLLY looked real, and just gave it to a mate.... Oh i got a fake BLuRay of complete Girls Und Panzer... Movies etc included. They were just DVDs in a BluRay box xD.....got full refund from ebay, guy lost his account (that he had ovsr 20,000 sales on)... The sellers/ counterfeiters will usually deal to STOP you activating the complaints process. Yeah I know its bad.....but I'm not gonna stop it happening. I'm just gonna make DAMN sure everything I buy is real.... And if scrubs want a fake Rolex for £100 that falls apart after 6 months... I just don't care. If Im buying a BIG ticket item... Im wanting the shop experience anyway. Who wants to buy an Omega Speedmaster and NOT go to the store and let the sales people treat you like a king for a couple of hours (which they SHOULD of you are dropping £7000 plus on a watch)...
So yeah.. I know... You want the LTD Edition PS controller on the bay.....ONLY £120!....thats a fake my friend. Make your OWN UNIQUE LTD edition by buying a real controller from a store, and then getting some sweet kits you can get for them. I used to like those rubber things you stretched over the controller? Usually came with like 5 or 6 options for thumbstick add on parts, and a few for the triggers... And there's a choice of 10000s out there man. NO ONE will have the same one as you. It will be REAL.. MODDED cosmetically personally by you. It will be SICK man. Only reason im not doing it myself right now (aside thumbstick mod... I like knobbly ones... So sue me 😂) Is cos i met a guy who makes PS controllers for Sony ALL DAY. He puts the PCBs together, puts the gubbins in, tightens em up, sends em up the line to get tested, boxed, shipped.
when I met him I was like BS they have a human doing that (i assumed a robot arm deal you know?)... So he took me along for a morning to see the magic happen. Reason though I don't have my usual rubber cased v1 ps4 controller on far out colour schemes... Is cos he asked me what is have given the choice, as a v2 ps4 colourway? I knew immediately as I've dreamed of it for 5 plus years... I said 'you ever seen the winter splinter camouflage on a Russian Jet fighter? Like an SU27 type jet?' he went off, found an image 'like this?'... 'yeah exactly that... With the sky blue underside... And if it had like fake black dots, like the real jets have a false canopy painted on the underside, to confuse the eye.... Well.... If i had any airbrushing skill... Thats the custom ps4 v2 case id make.
Maybe hours later... While I'm wondering if I should leave before I get kicked out, my chum appears, with 2 official ps4 v2 boxes, with my dream design on them.. Both even slightly different like they are on the jets. I couldn't believe it (ok i had done the guy a huge favour a few weeks earlier.... But reward was NOT required OR expected... I could have cried if I wasn't such tough guy 😎
Lesson learned though.... Sony deliberately keeps limited or special edition colour schemes rare. No doubt for some profit reason, as this guy could get 2 unique schemes through the line in less than 2 hours.
Anyway... Boring but might be interesting to someone 😴
Congrats i just bought a fake one
😐
hahahahaha i laughed
same :)
Also the when you turn them on you notice that the real one's LED last longer before it turns off
fr how did you notice those differences??? nice vid
Such a great video, we need more videos like yours with all region packages. Never knew (till now ofc) there is actually a genuine middle east package, all sold here, with that red mark down-left are fakes. Same thing with the asian package (the small box), i am pretty sure design is copied from genuine one, but all that are selling here in eu are fakes too. I can spot the fake one from all the different 5-6 box versions here, but for other regions its hard :) Thanks for the video again, idk why i saw it so late.
Thanks a lot! This video just saved me from buying a fake one. And the funny thing is that the serial number is different just by one number from yours 😂😂😂 they are way too lazy to make random serials
@@abdulwarrior subbed 👌🏼
Mine came with a flimsy screen protector on touchpad + charging cable in box (back of the box says "no charging cable included"
maybe that will help some people, lucky for me i can return it still
also sony logo on front is off center
U forgot to mention a real one has the R3 and L3 , can pop out
Really?
not only the real ones , i have the fake one and mine also can pop up
Real or fake…both analogs can be popped up.
I never noticed that after all these years is that supposed to happen?
Was wondering if I got the real one because it was pretty cheap, but now I know I got the real one, thanks 😁
How much ?
Mine was Pretty Cheap and I dont know if it's Real or not !
Good video buying one of these today
Thank you for this, it really helped
You're welcome Dion glad it helped
Thanks alot bro I'm going to purchase one soon!
@@abdulwarrior Yo where do you buy the real PS4 controllers? From Playstation store themselves?
mine is identical to real one but it is fake. how do i know? gyro touchpad etc only works in wired mode and steam lightbar control doesn't work
This video helped me figure out that I had gotten duped, the bottom had the '22XME' on the bottom, and yet had the yellow dot on the bottom.
Same mine doesn't even have EAC...
Thank You Iam Looking For One At The Moment And There Is So Many Fakes Thanks For Your Video 👍
Mine looks like the real controller, but my PS4 keeps telling me it might be fake.
Thank you very much.
where did you buy it
You missed that the Sony logo is bolder on the front of the box of the fake controller. And “DualShock 4 Wireless Controller” is less bold on the top of the box.
Thanks for the tips!
Tboy?
@@JennaBm1 no
Where you get these controller usually is the best indication..
Some Ebay Shop.. Why should Sony deliver these precious controller to some small shop.. Makes no sense..
Sony ships directly to their retail partners and when the most unknown shops have supply but the big ones dont.. That makes no sense..
Please You should drop a link to where we can purchase one
Are they the same price?
this is a great video thank you
You're welcome, I'm glad it helped
My V1 controller has “Sony Computer Entertainment Inc” does it mean that it’s a fake?
I can play games like cod just fine with it.
whereas my V2 controller says “Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc” and brand new, no defects, in which my first brand new one had a defect and I had to get it exchanged, I was finally satisfied.
my v1 will eventually get replaced when I get enough $ to get another v2.
Same bro
Is there any major input lag to the phony Chinese one?
Brother I need your help to check if my controller is real
Ok thx😀
I feel so bad, I asked for a new controller for Christmas and I was given a fake and I don’t want to tell my mum because it was her money and it was a lot of it😭 and idk what to do now
And it was bought online
Hey, I know you feel bad but it's better to tell your mum so she can get a refund to get a real one, especially if it cost a lot.
@@samuelm-B-H-8963 I did but she said she bought it a month ago and can’t refund it but shes okay with it
Ahh right, that's a shame it's good she okay with it. Have you used the controller yet, how is it?
Just bought a controller from CEX and it's absolutely identical to your real one, like down to the last detail apart from it has the 001 underneath that little leaf logo, but it's in grey font. Everything else matches, do you think I've just bought the best fake ever or do think it's real?
More ways to tell also are the screws. The original screws are ph00 which are longer than fake ph1 which are shorter.
Unplug your ps4. Turn on your controller. You should be having a bright white light while it searches for you ps4 not the turquoise you get on fake boards.
If you're confident enough to open the controller we'll see more fake parts. The battery is a give away. Instead of the grey plastic 800mAh battery. Fake have 600mAh battery written on them and have this foil like material covering the battery. If you have removed the motherboard at the front you see a blue button switch, this is fake, it should be grey. Motherboard name should be JDM-040 or JDM-055 anything else is fake. Hope that helps
Bro , you got something wrong , the analog sticks , it doesn't matter how to sound is , because Sony have business with APLS company , and all of the analog sticks are not exactly the same , for example the first controller analog have quite sound , but the second one have little bit louder sound , they both are genuine , you cant make this thing for a way to detect a fake controller , but a thing is if your analog stick have very very loud sound when click it like it contains nothing inside of it , you feel emptiness in it , this thing is in unormal, it's must be a fake controller ,
I bought a Class A controller and it's the same with you Genuine one 🤣
Just got a fake yesterday :( the audio was a dead giveaway from my old one. Directional audio especially.
Thank you bro
You're welcome Furkan!
You can thank me by leaving a like or dropping a sub and if possible, using my code "abw01" in the item shop!
I think I got a fake one because the plastic like you mentioned doesn’t look legit BUT it has everything from the real one when it comes to the back sticker and the box and the sound of it. So I’m really confused 😂
i couldve used this video like a year ago but hey at least im about to buy one
How to fix delay on this controller?
u cant thats how it was made. best thing to do is to get a real 1 from the sony website
Locally there's a few people selling a bunch. Likely fakes.... I don't know yet how to tell the difference
Just open and remove the shield: batteries on real one are always bulky and grey. Chinese ones are never like that.
Please i have a question 🙏
SONY font on the front of the box is narrower than original and slightly lower than original. Letter O does not look right. Have a look
My fake controller, the logo is before EAC...
My fake also has Konan Minato-ku Tokyo.
@@blair5475 it's not fake
Is Fake ones Ok to play Rdr2 ,assassin creed games?
When I got a fake one for half the price of the original, I thought it was real for like a week. They'll just break easier if dropped or thrown lol.
The Logo being in front or after EAC doesn't determine a fake or not I believe. I just got a legit controller with the logo after EAC, its location being at the bottom left of the sticker. Only the serial number printout is bold, the rest of the text on the sticker is faint just like in your video. Also my controller was meant for UK, EU and turkey so it has UKCA on the sticker too. It has the 1-7-1 konan Minato-ku Tokyo, 108-0075 Japan as well. So i guess the sticker at the back varies depending on region or year of manufacture. I would also like to point out some differences in the packaging i got: the front of the box had dualshock 4 centralised on the blue part in different languages and the colour of the controller written on the bottom right. The back had very similar features to yours, most notably, the highlight for the share button was clearly visible button but the year of the box carried 2021 which was written on the bottom alongside other text. Wish sony can just make determining their originals easier by staying consistent with their packaging and stickers.
No USB cable included
You must've been confusing both controllers. It's impossible that the right controller is the genuine one and that the left one is the fake one, because the square button is not centered on the right controller, something Sony would NEVER do. So the genuine controller have to be the left one.
really??peolple say if serial number combine with letter is the ory one..your remote just only number..which one??
Audio and battery life are the big give away that's it's a fake one
thanks brother
You're welcome anon
Fake controllers are a bit lighter. ~25 grams. They feel lighter in your hands, and you can tell right away.
What about connecting to the ps4, is there a difference vs how it connects or the name it comes up with?
@@abdulwarrior that's frustrating. I hate that so many things get knocked off
@@abdulwarrior so when they come up on screen their name comes up as Dualshock 4?
If it comes up as Dualshock 4, that’s normal, it’s supposed to be identified as that, as that’s what you’re using, you’re good.
Hi, i must buy an secondary PS4 controller to play with Friends but i do not want to spend 70 euros... This can be a good controller?
@@abdulwarrior thank you so much
Sheesh I was shaking but my controller is real thankfully I mean it should be I got it from the Sony store where all my friends got it from too
nice video,where did you buy the fake one?
i'm about to buy an original one,it has a same box like original that you showed us.
i just checked out,only diffrent think is 19 at the beginning of the serial numbers.
it says Manufacturer Sony interactive Entertainment
thanks again bud for this video it helped a lot. subbed
@@punishment590 so you found a real one
Does the analog sticks on the fake one works well for shooting games?
of course not
Heck nah bro it has insane controller drift bro fake ones are so bad 🤮
@@abdulwarrior bro is there any way to fix that my mom got me two fake ps4 controllers online and i cant aim on call of duty. She doesn’t know about whats fake and real and I don’t have the money to get a new one
@@mitchellt9076 Unfortunately there isn't much you can do just save money to get a new original one
@@Achokii yeah i got a new one now lol
Mine had the golden audio plug is it 100% fake?
@@abdulwarrior for the back the logo is before the lettering
@@abdulwarrior also the only difference I would say is the audio plug is gold
But fake controller are cheaper and works perfectly plus they are more durable
If you buy this online, no way to spot the difference..
I should have gotten one when they where on sale.. Mine still works, but you never know..
Yo bro I'm getting controller soon and idk the difference too much I don't wanna get scammed my last one was a fake and was cheap but i was too dumb to notice wish me luck and if I follow ur steps and get a real one I'm subbing to u
how did it go hope u got the real deal. I just got the fake 1 and its really really terrible hardly cant play games with it. its crap
Did the fake one have bleutouth mode?
Yes, it has
no way i spent 70$ on a fake controller, and i just found out now after like 3 or 4 years
Damn i found out my ps4 controller is fake but idc since it works well like a genuine one lol
Yes i got it real one.
Congratulations to me, i just bought my self another fake controller, probably 7th time
How does the fake controller work as compared to real controller? Is it worth getting fake?
@@abdulwarrior ur right bro I accidentally bought a fake and it was drifting like crazy but they wouldn't accept return so I played with it for 3 months
@@abdulwarrior now I'm getting a new REAL one
i just spent 60 dollars on a controller just for it to be a fake
😨
You shoulda made more research before buying
daym dude thats an big big L always buy from sony website Dont go any place
Thank God I got Real One 😂❤
You sound like a Nigerian, can you please tell me where you bought the original?
@@abdulwarrior that's in lagos ba? Please how much did you get it
@@abdulwarrior alright, thank you. I'm based in ibadan, and it's really hard finding an original controller, I've wasted so much money.
Guys I think I got scammed :(. The box seemed real with the yellow dot and Sony branding but it seems the EAC is before the logo on the controller…
it doesn't matter if EAC is before the logo
great. no wonder they were selling them for 20 bucks on facebook.
It is Sony to blame.. They dont ship anything and then the market gets flooded with copies..
I heard that Sony is shipping PS4 consoles 2022, but I never see one or know anything where to preorder one..
I got mine back in the days for 199 (the new slim model, but not the latest version).. Should have just bought another one.. 😐
Those are EU controllers. The sticker on the back of NA ones are different, so this is unfortunately no help for spotting NA fakes as far as the back sticker goes and *maybe* the box too. However, there was still one thing in this video that made me realize that one of my controllers is indeed a fake. It's always had a weird issue and seemed suspect, but I thought it was just a faulty controller. I'll give the details of my fake controller to help people spot a fake NA PS4 controller.
First of all, when I bought it off of Ebay (brand new) it was about 10 dollars cheaper then all the other official Sony controllers being sold. So I guess that can be a reason to suspect a fake right there. My controller is red and looks totally legit, but the back sticker is white. Not sure if that's how the official red controllers are or not, but if they are not white then that would be a red flag for sure. Other then that, there is nothing on the sticker to signify that it's fake. For some fakes there are signs, but not for mine (except for possibly the color like I said.) The light on the back of the controller looks just like the official controller, but the sticks and D-pad are different. You unfortunately can't really tell by looking, but the rubber on the sticks is slightly more firm and they do click a tad louder when pressed down. As for the D-Pad, it feels a little stiffer then an official. Lastly, if you put the console into rest mode with the charging cable plugged in to the controller, it will not stay in rest mode! It stays in rest mode for about 5 seconds and then the console turns back on. I have no idea why or what's causing it, but my official controller has never done that. Not sure if the microphone port sounds worse or not as I haven't tried it yet. Also not sure if the touch pad works like it should.

I just got had.... This EXACT fake just arrived from an ebay seller.
I can bet this dude is a nigerian I can hear he's accent
@@abdulwarrior I just knew it awfa guy where you buy the original pad?
@@abdulwarrior Kai thanks man I stay in abj if you got any link I can oder the og one really appreciate
Hmmmm interesting
Are these controller worth it?
@@abdulwarrior i play apex legends online so i guess i'll buy the original controller 😅
@@abdulwarrior thank you for the video and info man
@@mjprince7 NEVER buy the fake one they r the most trash thing to exist it's not too bad at the start but when u use it the more it's the trash thing ever
So I got scammed twice 😂
The fake controller plays good though, plus it's less than half the price
Nah the analog sticks are always bad man
and the input lag is worst
@@xRayHeaD1 i beg to differ, the controller does its job just fine for me
@@coolamericano might be cause you never played with a genuine controller to tell the difference
I think its same shit...
Like why my box japanese and my ps4 controller is made on china 😂❤
I'm sorry but both are fake, the model number is "CUH-CZT2U", not "CUH-CZT2E" as it appears on both.
CUH-CZT2E is for glacier white I think?
cuh2u is v1 controller cuh 2e is v2 controller
First
I have seen fakes with the logo coming first.
And all your explanations are not okay.
The real deal is the PS LOGO on the Ps button.
The original is Straight and the fake is not as the P Back like looks curvy. Simple.
👍
