Just wanted to give you guys a heads up. I just bought three new Sony ps3 controllers online from three different sellers. All three where REALLY good FAKES. China has stepped it up. The packages/controllers are identical to the real thing. Even the bar codes were the same. Color code was there. Wanna know what gave it away? The charge plug was off centered with a gap around it. oops. Also the plastic edges were rough/sharp.
So, ran some test. An OEM controller weighs over 5 ounces, these guys are at 4. Open it up and the differences will amaze you.
Here's the problem: These china controllers are DANGEROUS. There have been numerous reports about them EXPLODING in peoples hands. Links can be found here:

Saving a few bucks is not worth serious injury. Also Sony has begun making them inoperable on all ps3 systems. On a personal note: I just went 23/0 with a china troller. lol The sticks are so tight. No more dead spots....YAY
I have included a link to report fakes to Sony. They may contact you back.

Probably heat build up due to feedback due to crappy electronics/wiring. I looked for videos of exploding controllers and could not find any..

Then I found this which made it worth it : http://youtu.be/lM7XQN92k1k Prime suspect would be Lithium batteries, maybe even old Li batteries that had been taken off the market because they were prone to catching fire. Bet those knock-of shops are buying those batteries good and cheap. was going to say the same thing but you were first, the same thing is with those ultra cheap S4 from china. Saw one only for 80$, but the batteries they use are highly dangerous. IDK how they even get past the border
It is NOT the batteries!!!!!!!!!
These controllers have capacitors inside like disposable cameras/stun guns. It stores power for the flash. I pulled one out of a camera once and it shocked the FUK out of me. Some kid got arrested by turning one into a homemade stun gun.
I watched a couple videos of these exploding controllers. Both batteries where still intact.
A fully charged Capacitor can KILL YOU.

That's interesting, and caps can explode. Batteries were prime suspect for me but from what you say a little more research is in order. Thanks for the heads up.[/quote]
Google search: exploding capacitor
