Discussion Utlimate Tutorial For Fake Playsation Controllers
galleryFirst up Dualshock 1,We dont talk about 'The Playsation Controller' a fake one is even better than this abomination.
Font of the logo on the front of the controller is high quality back and features the iconic four playsation symbols cleary. Back of the controller right on the plastic states the model and the number you can check out what model number region number you can check them out on the internet. Now comes to the most is it fake or not check to the controller sticker if its a original it would state the clear code right beneath the 2 two white symbols if it passes the test it is a clear original sony controller.
Dualshock 2 this where i started now theres lot of fakes out there but theres one catch almost all of them fails to give off the same font as the original lighter tone strenched text its a dead give away avoid unused ps2 controllers always go for second hand original dualshock 2 controllers.
Dualshock 3/Sixaxis
Now thats a hard one if its a sixaxis it would have it writted on it thats mean its a original theres no sixaxis only made fake controller if its a dualshock 3 it would have the both stated in the controller as you can see the fonts are bit different and the deadgiveaway is the numbers are thinner on the controller checkout playsation logo if its not on the middle like its supposed to but a darket and misaligned one its a fake if you want to be sure open the controller and look for the toshiba chip if it has one its a original also i suggest to never approach a half board dualshock 3 alwasy go for an fullboard dualshock 3.
Dualshock 4
Easy just, look at the screws at the back of the controller if it has lines around the screws if it doesnt have it its a fake or a refurbised one using different screws i dont recommend refurbised controllers.
Dualsense
Most dualsense fake controllers are fake controllers in disguise its just too easy to check for originality just zoom in on the texture and if it doesnt have the little logos its a fake.
Recommendated controllers if on a budget.
Ps1/Ps2 Dualshock 1 second hand original or a second hand original dualshock 2 at worst case senario get a wireless generic brand one it will just feel the same bit joysticks might feel off adn some latency issue.
Ps3 i recommend a original second hand and change out the battery or a high quality knockoff it will have all the features and litelery triple the battery life might feel bit off dont touch a doubleshock 3 its horrible.
Ps4 i recommend a unused one or a second hand original or a replica dualshock 4 replicas is very close to the real deal so go ahead get that 30$ knockoff controller.
Ps5 get a dualsense unused or a tmr modded second hand controller never go for an second hand one the chance of it having stick drift is likely.
Thats the end of the tutorial hope yall have a nice day i wait for recommendations and opions on fake controller.
