How do I know if my PS3 controller is original?
First, check if the controller has the 'Sony' logo above the start button and on the back. Originals usually feel more robust and heavier compared to fakes. If it has a good weight and feels sturdy, you're probably holding the real deal!

Look for the CE and FCC logos on the back label. Fake ones either miss these or have incorrect positioning. Also, originals usually charge via mini USB without issues!
Original controllers come with pressure-sensitive buttons and a smooth working Sixaxis motion sensor. If these features are wonky or non-existent, it's likely a fake.
Original PS3 controllers should pair with the console without needing extra drivers or software. If you face connection issues or need to install something, your controller might not be genuine.
