Look at the packaging. Official Sony controllers come in a high-quality box with clear, professional printing. If it looks cheap, it's probably fake.
The analog sticks on fakes tend to be looser and not as responsive. Try moving them; if they feel off, it's not genuine.
Check for the PlayStation logo on the PS button; fakes often have a strange font or logo. Also, the Sixaxis/DualShock 3 text should be clear and not smudged.
Bought one online and it felt off? Same here! The real deal should have a sturdy feel with precise button response. Lesson learned!
