The original Xbox Series X controller has a Share button in the middle between the Menu and View buttons. If it doesn’t, it's not the real deal.
Check the packaging and the instructions. Originals come with proper Microsoft branding and high-quality printing.
I once ordered a controller off a sketchy website. Red flag: It didn't support firmware updates through the Xbox Accessories app. That's a dead giveaway!
Just buy it from an official retailer or the Microsoft Store to avoid any doubt.
