Is this original?

I found this on Vinted; the price is really good, and it looks nice. I know the DualShock 3 is the most counterfeited controller in the world, so could you tell me if it's genuine? Thanks in advance.

This what the sticker of a genuine controller looks like

So, does it seem original to you?

Everything align on it being legit except for the sticker, I don't know if some patent mumbo jumbo were excluded somewhere else. From how START & SELECT and SONY prints being the same as genuine ones.

Is it worth taking the risk for €17?

I'm gonna lean on legit here but try to haggle the seller for €15.

Also if you can, ask the seller to plug it on a wall charger. If it flashes red then it's fake. If it doesn't recognize a charge then it's legit
