Most of them available in the market are fakes.

Smash controller most likely is fake. Heck, even the Splatoon one is fake since they are not manufactured anymore. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also bought one a couple of years ago (Smash), and it turned out to be fake. Basically opened it up, and it was missing the vibration motor. Plus the markings were in a different font and size.

Did you check the intensity of the vibration as well? Heard they are now adept enough to copy vibration motors, all thanks to the booming market of blowdolls and vibrating kelas in china. 

 

Yes all good. As real as Mia Khalifa's unibrow.

I really doubt it TBH. I haven't seen a real Smash controller anywhere. 

 

Tell me what to check and I'll see. Rummaged through lots of research since noon. Absolutely nothing has pointed even a single chance towards these being fake.

Controller khola ? I think superficially they are indistinguishable. 

You can only see from inside.

Use a flashlight and shine it above right joystick while tilting it down. You'll the message "Thx2 allgamefans" I have Splatoon 2 one and its written there.

Other than that, check if controller can wake up Switch from sleep by pressing home button. Almost all non-Nintendo controllers fail to do that.

This has been copied IIRC. Right to the font.

He can also check for Amiibo compatibility if he has one.

Matlab kuch bhi. :lol:

Everything has been copied. Font, text, even wake up from sleep:

Goddammit :lol: 

 

Other ways to check

1. Play 1-2 Switch and see if you can count the ice cubes with vibration

2. NFC with Amiibo

3. Wake up from sleep

4. Pro controller got FW update, and Smash controller must've been sitting in the box for 2+ years. So you'll definitely get a FW update prompt for controller.

5. See if the d-pad is still shitty :P

Yeah just saw. BC wtf :lol: 

 

At this point if it does everything a real controller does then that's fine I guess lol. Unless @Jigsaw paid 7k+ for it :P

 

Except longevity. The legit PC is a tank, both in build quality and battery life. No idea how these are built or how far the battery will last.

Thanks bro. 

 

"Thx2 allgamefans" was a limited run so not all pro controllers have it. I have checked everything save a teardown. The led lightup sequence at the bottom works exactly as the original. Wakeup from sleep, rumble everything spot on. Spent an entire day just because someone was adamant "if I can't land a genuine, no one should" :lol:

@Jigsaw

 

Could you please take a more clear picture of the artwork on the controller? Preferably an absolute top view (90 degrees) in good light?

 

I want to see if the paint/art is jagged as it shows in your picture or it's just your camera lens.

Here bro. No jagged edges. 

 

PS : the analogs I've put thumb grips on straightaway before that's called out as fake:P
