The real DS3 has motion controls aka sixaxis, pressure sensitive buttons, rumble, very small deadzones (fake ones have massive deadzones), much higher quality analog sticks, buttons aren't mushy and the battery lasts longer.

The best way to know if a controller is fake, just press the analog stick, compare the sound to the original one, every single fake controller, doesn’t matter if it’s an Xbox 360 one ps4 ps3 the clicking sound on the fake one will always be louder, like it’s hollow on the inside while on the original one it’s gonna be a smooth and smaller tic sound

I have the same blue one. By looking at it you can't tell if it's fake because the Chinese knockoff manufacturer did one helluva job replicating the original dualshock 3. However, once you start holding in your hands and start pressing buttons, you can easily determine that it is indeed fake. The analog sticks feel heavy when rotating them and when you click on the R3 and L3 buttons they make loud clicking noises. That's not the case with the original PS3 controllers. Also the D pad and the regular buttons make cheap plasticky loud noises when pressing on them.

I got a red one for £9, and I think it's an alright controller for that price. Definitely feels cheaper but does the job, at least with most games. Lack of Sixiaxis isn't a problem for me as hardly any PS3 games besides racers supported it. At least it resembles a real one unlike one of those "P3" controllers.

honestly like I tell everyone, just look hard. Online if the seller is honest and real with you and you can see from photos and description that it's a real controller, then it probably is. of course if you don't like it, also try finding a seller that offers returns just in case. Finding them in stores is great because you can examine it (i.e. the plastic and texture of the buttons). From what I have heard and experienced, the six axis motion controls will NOT work with the fake controllers. That is a system unique to the official Sony ones.

Not all black ps3 controllers are glossy. The buttons and plastic can be matte in the original ones, they started using it in the later models/revisions like b1 and a2 because sony made it cheaper through the years especially a2 which have super cheap plastic compared to the a1 model I know this because i have 2 black ps3 controllers they are both original because they both came with the consoles i bought. And if the sticker has an H in the model number and the sticker has a square and it says inside"Compiled with ide standards", don't worry it's not fake unless if the sticker is paper than it is fake because the stickers are usually metallic in all regions and the white stickers for the colored ones have a metallic sticker as well. You should worry if the sticker has "Compiled with ide standards" but the model number has a U or E because only the hong kong/asian versions has less datailed stickers unlike other ones that have the Trash icon, CE, Li-on, and FCC or something like that.

But as soon as I opened up the package and felt it, the buttons, sticks, and the edges of the plastic shell all felt off. Like, almost sharp. The edges of the buttons weren't rounded, and the buttons weren't shiny. Vibration doesn't work. Deadzones are bad. L3 and R3 are loud and clicky. But otherwise it works alright. Hard to find a real one.

Also have you tried plugging your fake controller into a Windows PC and check its device name? I read that real ones should say "PLAYSTATION(R) 3 Controller". I recently bought an OEM Dualshock 3 from ebay and it seems legitimate. However, I havent opened it yet to check the battery type or tried out its SIXAXIS controls.

This depends on the way the people that made these fake controllers programmed the motherboard, since the programming was released to third parties to make controllers for the system most companies did not use the same chipsets as Sony because they cost more so they used different ones. The emulator or controller driver for BC for PS2 on the PS3 only support controllers with the official chipset which is why 3rd party don't work. Now a days they were able to fully clone the official chipsets and other needed chips and sell for cheap to the fake controller companies to 100% replicate the PS3 controller. I have one controller that was bought around 2014, it actually does work with ps2 emulator. I opened it up and found cloned versions of the chipsets identical to the official ones its interesting

I have one fake, it has dualshock, motion, works perfectly, and feels real... 3 of the Red LEDS are burnt out, and usually the controller just has a bottom and top peice covers, well mine is the same way but for some reason theirs an extra peice that comes off between the L1,L2/R1,R2. Everytime I get a new ps3 controller I open it up and add tape under the rubber peice that pushes the conductive film up against the motherboard to make contact properly. The random button pressing fix that happens to all ps3 controllers im sure everyone knows what im talking about lol. Anyways, when I tried opening this controller it was much harder it would not budge, I eventually got it but it was hard to put back together with that extra peice, eventually I got it and put it back together it works perfectly. Besides the button fix I added, the battery was also much smaller, I had other fake controller with a similar battery and it died out so thankfully I had a spare original battery and put that in.

But also, the sensitivity of the joysticks is not as good as a real controller either. So, It may be alright to use, but not for gamers who want the best experience.
