I bought one they suck they don’t update at all

It does not have the Nintendo golden seal that the official one have, soo always check out the box for the golden seal

Ну тут подделку можно сразу определить по кривой надписи NS! 🙈 Good video! 👍😏

It’s so hard to buy one of these that’s real I returned 5 fakes trying to get the special editions on eBay and Amazon. They got the Easter egg right now on the fakes. Best way to tell for real is completely take it apart and look at the vibrators and the board. Compare it to real board. Also the battery a lot of times fake ones come with a generic 800 mah instead Nintendo branded 1300 mah.

Heres another solid way to find out if your controller is real. Go to system settings and then calibrate controller > Calibrate sticks. Try to make small circles. If the dot keeps latching on to the x/y axis and doesn’t allow you to make smooth uninterrupted circles, then its a fake. This was the defining moment I knew mine was fake. It passed all the other tests too

Y'know? The quality of these fakes has improved to sucj a degree that I don't mind getting a fake one for cheaper if the colors are nice. I got a fake Splatoon 2 one recently for about $35 and it works quite nicely despite not being the real deal. I just really like that color scheme. Got the same colored joy cons too, only those are actually legit lol.

Wow think you for this video

thank you. you saved me a lot of time and frustration

What he doesn't know is they are real Japanese pro controllers.

Ok so other than it being fake what’s the problem

I have a bunch of eBay Chinese knock off special edition pros. they r pretty good in quality not just cosmetics

so I got one for like 50 bucks in December 2021ish.... I could tell something was a bit off... the DEAD giveaway was the vibration- it was WAY to hard. but what shocked me was it INCLUDED NFC tag readers! AND the "thank2allgamefan" bit too even if it was a bit different.... and the fake one just completely shit the bed this month...didn't last very long

Bought mine from GameStop and me and the employee examined it before I purchased since it was pricey. I got lucky

Another way to find out : from the Home page, go to Settings then try to update the controller's firmware. If you're stuck at 0%, it's fake.

Yes the real one feels different, the smell too

I’ve tried everything yet still feel like it’s fake even though it passes every video I’ve watched

Funny thing that you describe useless aspects like "cheap plastic" instead of pointing out inmediatly that fake one doesn't have the official Nintendo seal.

Fake controllers won't update.

They are still selling these fake controllers on ebay and amazon, but now they are charging the same as for the original ones, if you are in the market for a new controller, beware of crap like these controllers.

The easiest way to tell if your pro controller is fake, is that it will be stuck at 0% when you try to update it.

Thank you, i watch your video yesterday and when i went to buy my zelda pro controller japanese version today i almost get a fake at the same.price than the original, if it wasnt for the closest look at the sticks, and the rings, i wouldnt realized it. In this situationThe fake one has the nintendo word and the switch logo behind, but the box and the wrapping of the fake doesnt have the barcode and the qr. Thanks to you and the other guy from other video i bought the original. In the switch mine apears black and white in the right grip (proof of fire) ❤. Sorry for my bad english.

I've just got a tears of the kingdom controller... compared to your box it doesn't even say Nintendo on the box just a switch logo in the top left... is there a serious issue with this or should I get this returned?

Revisit this buy a updated fake pair to compare

The nintendo logo is off

why you didn't tried to update the controllers software?

I got a fake one recently and I couldn’t tell. It felt just like the real one except the rumble was different and when I shook it I could hear rattling. The buttons, dpad, and sticks felt the same. Even had the same dpad issues you get with the real one. I’m not very familiar with the switch pro controller so I didn’t notice it until I tried to update the firmware and it wouldn’t update.

7:25 oddly enough, the led shape on the fake one reminds me of the New 3DS notification light

Its pretty crazy how legit these look and its hard to trust amazon or ebay when buying these.

I was just looking at the smash bros pro controller on ebay and i was even thinking theres no way the seller just has a bunch of these and is selling them for only $45

I accidentally bought one of these off eBay 😅 going to be careful next time 😂🎮 their listing looked very convincing! Don’t be like me, read everything and check for actual pictures!

Both are rip off, one is fake and the other has drift.

The most clearest sign of it being fake is the Nintendo Switch written on the center of console is embossed wrong.

Are all imported from Japan controllers for the xenoblade fake?

Mega LOL

buys smash bros ultimate branded controller with xb2 version written on it, "could this be faaake?". what happened to critical thinking smh

i bought the regular black pro controller on christmas and it just arrived today. i didnt really care for the themed ones and i could always put a cute skin on it. it was $10 off its original price from brandsmart usa so i think i could trust them. im just glad i got it for cheaper at a lower price too!

Noo i just bought one from e bay... Also what to do if I bought a fake one?

Thx

I just bought a smash pro controller (yes, 3 years after the special editon) from japan. Everything seems legit, even so after checking all of the factors that you mentioned in your video. Something is off though: The rumble is absolutely broken. It is WAY TOO intense (on Switch AND pc) and its not HD rumble (I can tell with games like mario kart or the vibration pattern when you connect a controller) Now I am not sure if I got a REALLY well-made fake or if something broke inside the controller during shipping...

Do these fakes have a Gyro and NFC?

im paranoid :( mine seems real, correct font and spelling on hidden message, centred logo, feels better than my xboxone controller. but my charging cable says made in china....

The smash Bros ultimate pro controller is probably one of the most wanted Pro controller wish I had one lol 😂 lol 😆 lol 😝

Take it apart

I never played Yugioh

So many fakes on eBay and Amazon. I always buy from a reputable store if I want something genuine.

You haven't posted any more videos on here

I got a controller (xenoblade edition) that was only $55 on ebay yet every single thing you covered about being fake seems to be real so I don't even know anymore. -Plastic on top had cutout -Joysticks have multiple rings -Screws in legs seem good quality -Green lights seem square -No bad paint job around d-pad Unfortunately I don't have a real pro controller to compare it against but I'm going to try to see if a friend has one I can borrow. The only test left is if the NFC works or not. The plastic bag did not have the barcode though, that's the only thing off. I can't tell if they just watched this and fixed everything or maybe this is a cheaper one straight from the factory or something.

There's a lot of these cheap replicas being sold also in Mercado Livre. And the sellers swear it is original...
