Fake "Microsoft" Xbox 360 controller?

[FRD]

Yesterday I randomly came across this Xbox 360 controller online. I don't want to buy it.
At first I thought, wow that's still brand new. On second thought I looked at it and noticed things were off.

The hand/power button sticker for brand new controllers looks too thick, the Xbox logo home button is too thin and it doesn't say Microsoft on the wireless receiver.

The label does however say Microsoft though. Did they really knockoff Microsoft too? However, it also say informatioM there, so it's fake for sure.

Since when did they make these controllers? I remember fake controllers never used to say anything about Microsoft Corporation on them. Or they always were like these?

Yeah that's definitely fake. Official one doesn't have that hand and power button.

 

Another dead giveaway is the CE logo. This is China Export, the good one should be spread more apart.

this.

 

although, there's no such thing as a "china export" label, it's just real CE label and fake CE label.

If there were a 'china export' label, it'd be on all chinese products, not ones trying to loop around CE requirements.

It's fake as the label in the battery compartment isn't straight and there appears to be a date wheel on the PCB that is visible which isn't on an official controller (also the contact points aren't present which is another huge red flag).
