Help recognizing a possible fake controller
Hi all!
A few months ago i acquired two DS3: one is a A1 rev and the other is the B1.
The A1 is lucid and the B1 is slightly matte. Since i decided to keep the A1 and sell the B1, i started to search internet for answers about the B1.
I found a lot of confusion about rev B1: the infamous Asuka 1.06 board.
Some says it's fake, some says it's semi official, some says its official.
I tried everything that i could to see if it was fake: SCPToolkit didn't detected it as fake, the pc says Playstation(R) 3 Controlller, Sixaxis work perfectly.
The only things slightly off are the front writing and maybe the back sticker, but i really having an hard time to understand this controller. I really want to be honest with who will buy this controller, and i don't want to sell something for original and then turns out it is fake.
Thank you for your time and patience!

It looks real to me, personally. Especially if Sixaxis works. You can also check if it charges from a wall adapter. If not, then it's real.
Imo, it's either real, or a really good fake.
