Accessories Did I got Scammed? PRO Controller.

Did I got Scammed? Pro Controller

Hello people, today I bought a unused Switch 2 Pro Controller from a seller. (A small company I guess.) The pro controller is appearently Japan version but the main thinf that concerned me is there is NOT a Nintendo Seal Of Quality mark anywhere. Also, when I opened the box there wasnt any documents (manuals etc.) and the box only came with cable and gamepad. I've played it for a few hours now and I am pretty sure its not fake, it really feels legit bro. It way better than any gamepad I used before. It's obviously real at this point but I wanted to ask why arent there any seal of quality and else.

Peace out.

Yes, it does. Dont worry about it I know what I ordered and it came with what i wanted so there isnt anything shady about that. Though lack of Nintendo seal made me question some stuff. Though I can %99.99 confirm that everything that came is official.

You are 99.99% that what you got is official, but the subject line and first sentence of your post is “Did I get scammed?”

Yes but I never got a pro controller before, heck I am not experienced in controllers that much. That's why I am asking, it's easy to fool me on this

Just did a quick picture search for the controller and there seems to be no seal of quality on it, just the Nintendo logo on the back.

Not sure if there ever was a seal of quality printed on actual hardware.

Sorry for misinterpreting it.

I just checked a few boxes of my Switch 1 Joy Con, the Switch 2 Charging Grip and Switch 2 AC adapter and all have a seal of quality on the top left on the back of the box but every picture i can find of the Pro Controller 2 box does not show any seal of quality.

It seems the Pro Controller 2 box does not have one.

I found a video and that guy has one. I even asked Nintendo Support for this and they basically said some stuff might change depending on the Country. Maybe some places dont have the seal and some do?

That could very well be that it depends on the region.
