    Guessing you paid a lot less for it then you would an authentic one which is an obvious sign it’s fake. That or it was an oblivious/scummy seller

    Avoid online retailers altogether if you want to avoid fake anything. They’re getting convincing and they’re everywhere.

    What makes you think this is fake? I have this controller and it looks exactly like the one you have.

    For whatever is worth, retailers like Target, Best Buy, Gamestop, Amazon (shipped and sold from) and even the Nintendo online store itself has been out of stock on the Pro controller.

  5. It’s honestly not much of a secret message anymore.
    Fakes even used a wrong font early on.

    At first glance I could tell you that pro controller is fake.

    Outside of limited edition releases, they’re all black.

    If you have to take it apart and weigh and measure it to determine that it’s a fake, does it really matter? If it functions exactly like the real thing, I fail to see the problem.

    That is why I buy my Pro controller from Nintendo store.

    It is out of stock right now, but they will come back.

    Just wait a bit.

    There’s not much of a difference between controllers the counterfeits are actually quite good

    Do fake controllers update through the switch. I think that might be the easiest way to tell

    Got a comparison of a verified mobo and your supposed fake? Just curious.
