How to spot fake PS4 controller

You might encounter some people selling PlayStation 4 controller either from an online marketplace or from a local store in your area at a discounted price. Authentic PS4 controller cost around PHP 2,000 ($40) to PHP 3,000 ($60) and includes the complete package including the instructions manual.

Table of Contents

  1. Authentic Screw
  2. Micro USB Port
  3. Battery
  4. Touchpad

But if you happen to receive a controller without these packaging and it cost similar to the retail price, you might be skeptical if the product you bought are authentic. The main problem with the fake PS4 controller is it looks and perform very similar to the original and it will be very hard to find out.

The good news is there are an easy way to tell if the PS4 controller is a fake or original without dismantling your precious controller. This is by examining its parts and compare it with the original PS4 controller. If you don't have an original PS4 controller, we've added a side by side comparison picture below for your reference.

Authentic Screw

If you didn't know, Sony uses a custom screws in all of their PlayStation 4 peripherals and in the controller, they are using this screw that has circular pattern in it. Good thing with fake controller, they are using generic screw and that is the easiest way to spot if the controller is fake or now.

Below are the screw for authentic controller. If you notice, the screw has a some kind of a spiral pattern and the shape of the plus are a little bit small.

Comparing it with the counterfeit controller, the screw looks generic and the hole for the + are too big without any pattern on it.

Micro USB port

You can also check by how the micro USB port looks. However, you need a magnifier to check this one. Authentic controller has a gold pin at the top of the micro USB board, while the fake one is just plain.

Left controller is the original comparing it to the fake controller on the right, you'll notice that the board port on the original is rounded and the gold pin on the top doesn't expose. While the fake one the board port is not rounded and the 5 gold pin is clearly visible on the top.

Battery

Using fake controller easily degrade its battery because it is using generic lithium battery, far from the performance of the authentic. However, you will only notice this degradation after using the controller for years or month.

Touchpad

One thing you'll notice on fake controllers are that when you try to push the top portion of the touchpad, it is not clickable or impossible to press. You can check this by placing your pointing finger at the SONY logo and the touchpad, then try pushing the touchpad, if it easily click its authentic. If not, its 100% fake.

That's it! Hope this guide helps you identify counterfeit PlayStation 4 controllers.

The event will introduce new outfits from iconic Resident Evil characters Jill Valentine and Albert Wesker. The Raccoon Police Department (R.P.D.) scene, along with outfits and themed items from the first crossover event will also return.

The second crossover event will introduce outfits of two more iconic characters — Jill Valentine and Albert Wesker. There will also be other new crossover-exclusive items, including a backpack and picture frame. Meanwhile, the Leon S. Kennedy and Ada Wong outfits and other Resident Evil-themed items from the first crossover event will make a return during the new event. With these add-ons, players will be able to enjoy a more immersive Resident Evil-style survival horror experience.

In addition, the second crossover scene from the ominous R.P.D. will also make a return, with appearances of iconic enemy bosses from various Resident Evil games. From the moment players set foot in the dangerous R.P.D., they must wipe out the Infected and then face Tyrant from Resident Evil 2 in a battle of wits. Players must decode locked chests and collect the three medallions required to unlock the secret tunnel to escape from Tyrant's pursuit! In the deepest recesses of the secret tunnel, players will face off against one of four final bosses selected at random – Majini, G (Stage 2), Nemesis or Tyrant.

Boss Skills Introduction:

  • G (Stage 2): G (Stage 2) quickly rushes towards players with its huge and twisted sharp claw. It will leap into the air to perform a heavy slam, which is an attack that players need to avoid that.
  • Executioner Majini: Dragging a great axe, the Executioner can knock players flying with his sweeping strike.
  • Tyrant: A major obstacle players need to deal with when collecting medallions, Tyrant is a relentless juggernaut that never stops chasing down its prey. It can knock players off with its deadly punches and charges from a long distance.
  • Nemesis: With a rocket launcher in one hand, Nemesis can lock onto a player's location, then launch a rocket after a few seconds to cause massive area damage. Tentacles can spring out of Nemesis' right palm to bind and drag players in front of it. Nemesis can also make a dizzying and deafening roar.

Alongside the crossover event, a prize draw event with awesome rewards will also be launched via the official LifeAfter social media community.

The second phase of the LifeAfter and Resident Evil crossover event is arriving today. Join the last fight together to deal the Umbrella Corporation a fatal blow and end the evil once for all!

Sony allegedly banned players who abused the PS Plus Collection

There are some reports that some players who abuse the PlayStation Plus Collection are getting banned. People who are banned got the following message when they try to login to the Sony's website "Access to PlayStation Network by this account has been temporarily suspended due to policy violations. An email with more details will be sent to the email address for this account. Also refer to the PlayStation Network Terms of Service and User Agreement.".

This story was been first reported from a Facebook page Nmia 尼未亞. This should be taken with a grain of salt as the information was a collaborative report from players who experience getting banned after claiming the PS Plus Collection from another person's PS5.

UPDATE as of 11/26/2020 @ 3:53PM: It turns out that the banned is not triggered by activating the PS Plus Collection but rather from a defense mechanism of the PlayStation Network that protects the console and the account from being hacked or abused. Nmia 尼未亞 says "When there is more than 50 different accounts logged in to a console, and makes purchases from PS store of other region, the system will detect and determine it as being hacked. The account will be banned for 2 months, while the console will be permanently banned. Currently it is being negotiated at the customer service if there is any turnaround to the situation, but joint purchasing is indeed violating the rules and regulations, and the mechanism existed to protect the hacked account from being further abused."

Since getting Sony's next gen consoles is extremely difficult, players are looking for ways to get that extra perks from a PlayStation 5 unit, and that's the PS Plus Collection. The perks includes 20+ FREE games which you can also play in PS4, it only requires a PS Plus subscription and an activation login to any PS5 unit. 

Following is the list of FREE games. 

  • Bloodborne
  • Days Gone
  • Detroit: Become Human
  • God of War
  • Infamous Second Son
  • Ratchet and Clank
  • The Last Guardian
  • The Last of Us Remastered
  • Until Dawn
  • Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
  • Batman: Arkham Knight
  • Battlefield 1
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops III – Zombies Chronicles Edition
  • Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy
  • Fallout 4
  • Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition
  • Monster Hunter: World
  • Mortal Kombat X
  • Persona 5
  • Resident Evil 7 biohazard

There are some players particularly in Hong Kong who reported that their account is being temporarily banned after asking their friend who has a PS5 to login for their account to claim the PS Plus Collection. Whereas those PS5 units that have been repeatedly used to activate those accounts receives permanent banned. 

Some of them contacted Sony's support, they got a response saying that the ban is not permanent, but just temporary and it will last up to 2 months. So far, no information added on what is the cause of the banned.

The reason for the ban is likely from an abused or repeatedly using their console to activate the PS Plus Collection. Either from a service in a grey market who makes extra money or simply from a group of friends helping each other to claim the perks. However, we see no problem on claiming the perks from one to five different accounts as logging on the same PS5 within the family members is perfectly normal and allowed. Of course, it should be in the same region.
