I bought this controller in the best condition I could and it works without any issue. The controller has the ability to vibrate, to use the analog sticks without them drifting, every button corresponds correctly. Although, the controller does not have the glossy color texture, it is still an official Sony DualShock 3 Sixaxis Controller. There are no indications of this controller being a fake. Every letter, word and symbol are where they should be. Also, every letter, word and symbol look exactly as they should.
