Counterfeit Nintendo Switch PRO Controller

***This video is not sponsored. I paid for everything with my own money!***

I bought a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller from a seller on Ebay and it turns out it was a fake counterfeit one. I found out when I was changing the shell for a white shell. I noticed that the fake controller internals did not match the video tutorials I was following for changing the shell.

I got refunded my money from eBay because this item was covered on the Ebay Moneyback guarantee program. I still had to submit a return for this item with photos and the reason for return in order to get my refund. When the seller did not respond to my return that's when ebay issued the refund.

The seller was also banned because I get an error when I try to click on the seller profile.

On some fake controllers everything works except for NFC, so the amiibo's don't work.
This fake controller in the video did not even connect to Bluetooth.

Don't be afraid to open the controller, its really just three sets of screws (2 for grips, 4 for back cover, and 5 for the rest of the internal shell) to get to the circuit board.

The one easy way to tell if its fake on ebay listings is to look at a closeup of the printing on the buttons. If they don't have a close up of the buttons, request it from the seller.
