Fake PS4 Controller! ► How to tell you bought a wonky PlayStation 4 DualShock - [Titanium Blue]

I bought a PS4 controller online because of a sale and it felt weird when playing games. So I went to a physical store and bought it again at full price to compare and then all the details and mistakes became obvious. I had bought a fake PlayStation 4 DualShock controller. I hope this video helps you spot a fake too. If you want to support the channel, buy games using this GOG referral link: af.gog.com/?as... They have lots of sales... Thanks!

The fake controller does say SONY above the light btw, I talk about it in the video. It was 'on sale' for half price online. Now I can see why. I even returned it saying it was broken and this is the *better* one they sent me.

Did you buy on amazon or some private store?

I enjoyed your presentation. As always, informative without fluff. Also, when is the makeup tutorial coming? Kappa. Seriously, I would value whatever hardware/consumer goods you reviewed/explained/presented. I know they would be honest and thoughtful. Viewers and/or KZbin's algorithms might have an issue with them being on this channel so perhaps you could consider a second channel dedicated to that sort of stuff.

[@seansean3858]

One reason fakes look so similar to the originals is that (sometimes) the group that counterfeits them have access to the same factory that makes the originals. A company I had worked for that had it's product made in China had a problem with counterfeits, it turned out that after their last shift left for the day, one of the floor supervisors would stay behind and let in the counterfeiters. So their counterfeits were made on the same machines as the originals, the only thing they brought themselves was the materials (plastic, circuit boards etc). When he got caught, he acted like we had no right to be upset. Apparently that is (according to him) common practice in China, and the Government was fully aware of the practice and extent of counterfeiting. They just don't care. Needless to say the company I worked for pulled out of China and brought all their manufacturing back to the UK after that.

Very true, give all the fake manufactures the do's and donts when copying controllers

[@GamerZakh]

@@nickolagi They already know all this. The point is they can't avoid all these issues without spending more money, defeating the purpose of making fakes. Spelling things right and not missing spaces is already a given and they can't get that right. I'm not the first or last to list these things out. There's also legal reasons in China why they purposefully use the wrong logo, so it's likely that will never change.

[@BL00MYB0Y]

😳 I’ve just ordered a DualShock 4 off the net. now I’m worried

[@adrn25m]

Please also remember that some Genuine second hand controllers can feel different if they have been repaired and the analogue stick switches have been replaced for lower quality version parts instead of the oem quality switches when people try to fix the very common "STICK DRIFT" issues most types of controllers manufacturers produce can face. There is also a slight difference in design between the dualshock v1 and the newer dualshock v2 controller to look out for.

[@opendebate]

The real controllers mention the production date on the label. They also weigh more cause they have good quality batteries that last much longer than the fake ones.

[@danocreations]

Thx for the vid. Maybe would've been a good idea to just take a photo of the two controllers and show it in the video than hodling it :)

[@GamerZakh]

Glad you liked it! Yeah that would've helped, but I didn't expect this video to blow up haha. I was just upset I bought a fake and wanted to talk about it. If I made a new video I'll take some closer shots, but people seem to be able to get what they need from this.

[@inzunzacub]

I have one. No matter how hard/slightly you push the right analog stick, it makes no difference in sensitivity; therefore not good for aiming accurately.

[@hackabusi]

Had a few fake controllers in the past for the PS3 and PS4. Can tell the general build quality isn't up to scratch compared to the genuine ones. Mainly the buttons feel too clicky, not spongy enough and the analogue sticks are pretty stiff. Also they always end up losing the ability to sync so end up with bricked/dead controllers .. the latest being a berry blue one..

Hey! Thank you for this great video!! I bought a fake today, unfortunately :/ I was very annoyed cause the joysticks were soooo stiff, tried adjusting my games but it didn't help at all. After you brought up the label and the stiff sticks I checked mine and found out it was a fake. It was on black Friday sale so I bought it. It works fine in general but for shooters is really useless.

It’s pretty crazy how bad it’s gotten. I’ve been looking to buy a new controller from places like offerup and I’ve seen so many new controllers that are very close fakes. Thankfully, I have a good eye for different things and I have not purchased a close replica. They do look very good and very close to the legit PS4 controllers but this video has been very helpful.

[@user-wm4uk1wj4m]

its true bruh i bought from offerup and theres litterally no difference only thing that was sketchy for me was the back sticker and then i realized it was fake when the analog sticks where way stiffer than my other controller if ur gonna buy one than u should check for spelling and if the anolog sticks are stiff then dont buy it

[@JonatasAdoM]

I used to have PS2 fake controllers because the originals were quite expensive. Don't, just don't. At least you can give it to your friend without fears he'll break the analog sticks.

After watching your video, I realized I bought a fake controller. My sticker was exactly like yours with the no space between and the enlarged Sony label. Thanks for the info

That sucks, glad I could help you confirm it. It's almost impossible to get a legit controller nowadays unless you buy direct from Sony.

So that's why my "Taco Bell exclusive" controler I have feels clickier and wonkier than the other 2 originals I have. This video is much appreciated since it goes in detail to spot the differences. Even the smaller ones are of significance to me. The aforementioned controler I have is the only one that feels clickier, cheaper and all around odd.

[@johankarlborg2829]

There's a whole slew of different counterfeit controllers that vary in different ways. The only consistency I've seen so far is that the box is never the right one, the serial sticker is wrong or missing completely but most of all: they just feel very off, right away.

[@matthewflores3449]

Can you repair the fake one's analog sticks?

[@thesheeepjd]

I like the format and there was definitely some things here I didn't know (especially since I'm not that much into console hardware, either). What you could do to improve it is to use separate shots of the stuff you want to show - like when the camera didn't want to focus on the logo. Just take another video/images later and put that in the video instead of you trying to get the camera to focus.

[@GamerZakh]

Thanks for the feedback! I've never really done videos like this and messing with a bunch of new ideas this month, so tweaks like that aren't things that cross my mind so readily.

[@uncleelias]

Cutaways and meaningful B-roll can be effective when done right. If Zakh wanted to keep with the "live" feel with limited editing for these types of presentations, then perhaps a second camera which he can switch to in OBS would work as well.

the sickest problem with Lazada is allowing sellers to label the fake ones as original and even on the FAQ the seller replies 'yes' to a question on genuity. now they use the "raya sale" tag to justify a cheaper price as compared to the market price while still labelling it as original, and some use "refurbished" tag to claim it is original. and buyers on Lazada are too naive to fall for this trick.

I got one of these fake controllers from Amazon for €18, and one of the things that gave it away for me was that the battery inside is a generic 600mAh battery in heatshrink, but all the buttons and everything else feels just like the real one, it responds perfectly ingame, and even the sticker on the back has everything correct that you show in the video. The circuitboard even has quality soldering, all the parts correspond, even that horrible silkskin Sony love to use, the box looked original with all the proper lettering and branding on it... I'm kind of wondering if maybe mine is actually a reconditioned factory defect. But I'm not complaining, I'm happy with it, because I bought it to replace the original on which the sticks have terrible drift issues with less than 50 hours of use. So I prefer thoe one I got than getting a real one for more than 3 times the price if it's only going to last me about 50 hours. I have some new sticks ordered for my original, but they are taking so long to arrive... And besides, the original is boring black, whilst my real fake is a very nice looking rose gold.

You're absolutely right about Sony Computer Entertainment vs Sony Interactive entertainment.

Having a controller with Sony Computer Entertainment on the back doesn't mean its fake.. it's just the first generation dualshock.

Good video, but I think if you keep this kind of format, you need to do the videos more akin to vlogs where everything is edited to cut out pauses, issues with the focus etc, rather than it looking like a live recording that hasn't been edited. Also replacing the green screen with an actual background (ie a picture of something relevant that isn't your logo) or doing these videos in front of something more "real" would really improve the quality of the focus imo :)

[@ddsbabes7140]

so true,feels kinda weird seeing his video with no edit done hahha

[@darkslayer256]

This explains why the controller my sister got me last christmas is now acting up. Well, it'll make for a good test run for opening and cleaning it. Thanks for the video.

[@GamerZakh]

Glad I could help, it is really hard to find legit ones nowadays.

[@charlottebessenyei5339]

On my fake one, the sticker also got an air bubble, but they pinned it out... :D 🤣 Im totally stunned.🤣🤣

I'm trying to find a nice deal on a new dualshock 4 since next gen is here, but ebay and amazon are riddled with some fake controllers. (Since they're out of stock on amazon at the moment.) Maybe ill just go to a store in person and eat up the full price. Thanks for the informative video! :D

[@GamerZakh]

Glad I could help. It's really hard to get a legit one online unless you're buying from a really reputable source or Sony directly.

[@ynwaynwa5629]

it's hard to buy cheaper alternatives of the original ds4/xbox controllers because most of the time they have inaccurate left/right sticks and for competitive fps games like cod/apex those controllers are unplayable..i wish there are companies who start making accurate controllers with affordable price, we already have that in mice companies who provide products with similar value and quality to the top brands like razer/zowie/ss/logitech but with half the price. instead with controllers, we're left with original ds4/xbox ones and the overpriced scuf controllers..

[@cat1800]

When the controller is sus, he be imposter 😳

[@pumpkinpie8235]

Question is, how are you going to pull the boar in AoE2DE with any of those controllers?

[@diyagheith1]

ive been searching this for ages, thanks alot man!

[@OwlCapone8630]

Don't buy controllers from Amazon... only buy from Target or Best Buy.

[@GamingSkeptic]

I bought a fake one. The analogs react differently when I'm driving. I can't use it for any racing game. Thanks for this video. I'm only buying in person now.

[@GamerZakh]

Glad I could help, sucks it's a fake. I made this video because I was annoyed at getting a fake too.

[@Aikohitoshi]

Watch out for that boar!

[@faisal8801]

Tysm I recently bought a fake controller I couldn't tell at first that it was fake but after watching your video I now know it's fake

[@GamerZakh]

Glad I could help you confirm. Sucks that it's fake but hope you got it cheaper.

[@imadelachiri5475]

The fake controller watching this video to make it harder to spot in the future

[@GamerZakh]

They already know all this, in China, they put the mistakes on purpose because that lets them get passed the copyright laws.

[@AXT157]

Dude I know this was a year ago but I had all the same problems and it frustrated me, watching this I realize its fake, thank you so much :>

[@GamerZakh]

Sucks when that happens, but glad I could help you confirm it.

[@jacka7241]

Just ordered one for a decent price off eBay and when I look back at the pictures some colours look off, when it comes I’m definitely testing it out.

[@fivechain]

How is it

[@asifgetto]

fun fact: fake items delebarately make mistakes to show its fake. to spot the difference from original and fake.

[@andycash1521]

The sony logo above the light at the back is different colour also, I've purchased a fake controller a camouflage one & it looks awesome but it is completely fake & doesn't operate as it should. Also things to check is the charging cable supplied with the controller it's too short in length & too thin in diameter, The cable looks like what I got supplied with my smok e-cigarette. You can also tell by the box it comes supplied in the blue colour isnt right & the writing on the back looks slightly smeared indicating a complete photocopy of the real thing & look at the actual height of the analog sticks they arent the correct height & lastly the battery dies in about just over an hour on a fake controller & that's even when it's been fully charged.

[@xStardust]

real ones dont come with a charger

[@owainevans89]

Haha bamboozled!!!!!!!

[@8bitsamurai6]

I was looking on amazon and there are even third party ones that use the same mold now. Just crazy but alot of people say they go back quickly cuz of weak batteries. Cant beat the OG with hardware.

[@gottosahani7571]

These fake controllers are like disposable plates They work for some time and end up in the trash 😢

[@caiocastelobranco6067]

Thank you very much friend! I'm from Brazil 🇧🇷
