Fakes are all around and if you wondered if you've got a real DualShock 4, or a fake one, you need to know few things about such fakes... A genuine PS4 Controller is the one made by Sony, and a fake one pretends to be made by Sony but it's made by unknown manufacturer.
Wouldn't be such important if they would have the same quality, but while a genuine / original controller is at it's supposed to be and delivers what should for our PlayStation, a fake one just replicates the layout and basic inputs, but in fact it's a completely different controller with a completely different behavior.
Sony and PlayStation symbols are all around and they all seems legit, real and genuine, but many of them are just cheap copies made of very poor quality controllers.
This video is meant to expose fake controllers and spot the real ones between so many fakes.
How to tell the difference between a fake and real one? This is how!
I have 4 different sealed PS4 controllers, genuine & fake together, meant for different markets from different countries and I firstly expose them since they're sealed, later on I also unbox each one of them and compare them side by side.

So mine fake controller came in with the console and it was obvious cause the box down panel was tempered, brought from sony certified seller but it was on massive discount on 2018 even when best games were coming back to back but they held discount that time, it's better to buy game edition or some limited console and controllers as chances of being fake will minimum, thanks for this informative video, keep up the good work as always ❤️🙌🏻

Thank you! Sorry to hear about your experience, I never heard that before. This reminds me when I firstly attempted to grab the PS5, the retailer bundled it with Star Wars and some other games . It wasn't the official bundle with Ratchet & Clank or Horizon Forbidden West. I saw the box was opened and resealed, the retailer pretending that was in order to put the games discs inside the box. I said "You could simply add the games separately without opening the box, you shouldn't break the seal and reseal it". I refused it because that could be a refurbished PS5 and the whole deal with the games could be only to mask everything.

​@@YesterdaysTech after that experience i stay away from shady schemes or deals like that, talking about ps5 after nov 22 batch some of the new redesign ps5 having a several disc drive issues so maybe right now they are selling those with massive discount and even with some bundle games extra controller to clear out those stocks, Thank god you decided to refused that deal who knows what kind of issue might be had in that ps5

I got the Japanese one like 2 months ago. Tbh the seller himself told me that it was fake. But regardless i still got it since it was $20. It was actually not bad. Aside from the touchpad which is weird if you try to use it for mouse and stuff but other than that it really was indistinguishable.

My question is ...did the shock 4 vibration work while playing? My 2-past replacements knock-offs say they do but they don't when I tried them and sent them back for full refund. I have an original PS4 controller but the vibration stopped working.

I think some of the older models from 2016 may have the embossed symbol above the usb. I have the gold edition with the screws circular, the battery is genuine, it looks and feels genuine overall. So, I can only assume some of the older models from 2016 are embossed, either that or the owner before me replaced the back shelling of this pad with a generic one, although it does have the sony label with the manufacturer year being 2016. I also have 2 other newer pads that are both genuine (2019) that are debossed. Using this gold pad for parts really.

There are telltale signs even on the box. See how it says “DUAL SHOCK” in a few places? The official trademark is Dualshock, as one word with no spaces. Sony wouldn’t mess that up.

My fake EU version was the worst of them, completely unusable and unplayable, but maybe I was unlucky. It’s hard to tell because since they’re fake, they’re not all the same. However, expect to be a bad controller and return it...

It has nothing to do with ethics for me. Rip off batteries can, and often do, explode when charging. Just like the e-bikes and the electric cars, the batteries are the weak link. Li-ion batteries with the wrong chargers are particularly prone to exploding and the Chinese knock-offs are the worst of all, and they are the ones flooding the market.
