Is this (white) controller a pirated one or what? Everything is stiff, L1 L2 R1 R2, directional and [] X O ^ button slightly taller than my original controller.

pls advise. links below are the photo in high res, hence I'm not embedding.

you can see the green one the buttons are lower while the white is taller.

stiff doesn't necessarily mean not ori. i think depending on the batch manufactured, all controller's are slightly different from each other.
*
I think it's not entirely original as the R2 L2 buttons are way too hard.

QUOTE(SSJBen @ Sep 29 2013, 02:46 AM)
Interesting... AFAIK, the white Dualshock 3s should have a grey PS button and not black. I'm not sure if the latest batches has switched to this, but if it hasn't then that's really weird.
Also the sticker behind should be white and not black on a white DS3. Then there's also the fact that the SONY logo on the white DS3 is weird, there is an odd space between the N and Y. If you check your other 2 controllers, all 4 SONY letters are properly spaced, the white one isn't.

Only 2 pictures isn't enough to 100% confirm, can you check if there's a screw under the FCC sticker? If there is, then it's pretty much a confirmed fake.
Also check if the grooves are flushed or not, original DS3s are all nice and flushed while fake ones no matter what they do would leave some sort of defect.
*
Firstly what are grooves? tongue.gif

and thanks for noticing the space between N & Y. Indeed uneven. I'll check again when i get back. Other than that, FCC sticker is that big piece sticker behind the controller in the center right?

The side of the controller where the top and bottom covers clip together, those are grooves. If you can feel rough edges, it's an obvious fake right away.
Yes the FCC sticker is the sticker at the back.
*
Will check when I'm home. Shouldn't have taken the risk to pick this controller though at the point I bought, I was already skeptical when I saw the buttons were taller. sad.gif

Managed to dispute and get a replacement off the shelf (from the PS3 box).

Trying it now. Looks legit but the barcode seems different from my two original controllers.

That's cool. Check out all the other possible symptoms as before.

Where are you actually getting your DS3 though?
*
I bought my green one from them as well, and it was original so I said "Why not just get from them since the first one [green] is original?" mana tau appeared this problem.

Bought near my house, some small kedai, will give only a small hint - Giant Hypermarket with new upcoming McDonald's outside at the parking lot. Sells me 160 so I thought ok la, so nearby, better than going to KL/PJ/Subang come back also petrol makan RM10+ dy laugh.gif

So far now, only symptom is tight analog sticks. other than that the R2 L2 buttons have 'stage 1/2/3' like the original controllers unlike the white one that has only one stage. tekan a bit, nothing, tekan more considered as flooring the car (Gran Turismo/GTA 5) doh.gif

Maybe will go send back and get a real original controller tongue.gif

RM160 for a fake is a stupid price IMO. A fake should cost no more than RM90.
Because RM160 can get you an original from any of the reputable sellers here on the forum — PBBSeller, Heavyarm, etc.

Exactly. Learned my lesson, gonna find Stevie next time laugh.gif

rm160 for fake dualshock 3 ? freaking expensive bro .. yea better send it back and get those genuine dualshock 3  tongue.gif

Definitely would. But how to identify fake controllers?

Other than the obvious visual, the bar code? And genuine controller buttons are soft one right? Mine, including the out of box one is keras. Sometimes not responsive.

It's actually very simple to identify fakes.
Just remember the symptoms I posted earlier and next time, double check.

If the seller don't allow you to open the controller's packaging (which I don't see why you can't after you paid), then just check the box. You'll see many odd spelling errors and wrong font colors.

Went to get refund, took the refund, top up 30 bucks buy from Sony store laugh.gif

Hey guys I can't start my PS3 controller...when I press the PS button there's no light. I think the battery is died coz long time no use. Is there any place in Penang where I can get the PS3 battery?

What USB cabel are you using to charge?


Make sure the cable is of good quality, thick and has choke. Last time I used a cable without choke/thin/cheap one then cannot charge -.- I took my friend's controller, used his controller also cannot charge. Then I found out wrong usb cable

This is a choke

I checked online and some say that Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Alpha works with PS3. However when I connected it to the PS3, it doesn't detect the microphone, somehow but on the Accessory Settings it shows "Sound Blast Tactic 3D Alpha" there. hmm.gif can someone help me out here? :/
