Yo! Take a look at the link below then read, or the other way around! Your choice!

So today i purchased a very cheap (used) controller from the internet. It won't matter very much if it's a fake as it was cheap but i want someone of you that owns a Classic Controller PRO to take a look and tell me what you think. I haven't received it yet which is why i'm asking you, im very curious you see.

Cheers!

Looks exactly like my black classic pro... Except mine has a white Wii logo just above the select, home & start buttons

yeah it misses the Wii logo, but seems legit to me.
even the buttons (a and b being transparent and x and y being solid) are spot on
it must be the real thing

bear in mind, this was a cheap controller to begin with (I paid it 16 euro iirc) so don't be surprised if you have paid it peanuts.

i actually got that exact some controller off someone on kijiji a whille back too. took me a few days to realize it didn't actually have the official lettering or logos anywhere lol. the only thing mine had was a small sticker on the back that said made in china lol. also it does have a bit of a rattle, a screw or piece of something must be loose inside. i haven't had any issues with it yet though, performs nicely.

@supermario182 Yeah i think it'll do nicely. Didnt wan't to pay full price anyhow because they are few and pricey (40 €) here in Sweden.

Look at the back. On my 3rd party controller, there was a raised section where it should say nintendo (I think), but it doesn't

Guys, these are widely known to be convincing, yet terrible fakes. Always use at least Google to do some due diligence, when in doubt.

The buttons and Dpad will give out within a few months of play and the analog sticks will possibly be janky from day one. Worse, there appears to be significant input lag (nearly a second) for some people who use these atrocities. They may look and feel the part but they are cheap counterfeits. The cord, in particular, seems to be exceptionally shoddy (hence the lag).

I have one rule for Nintendo controllers. Always buy them either physically or through a legit online retailer. They may seem expensive (I always manage to find great deals, though), but you get what you pay for. Nintendo controllers have historically been among the most durable and reliable. You wouldn't believe how many fakes are circulating out there. (The CC and CC Pro are cheap to replicate, so they are among the most common counterfeits.)

Trust me when I say that buying only first-party controllers for Nintendo consoles has saved me in the long run compared to the multitude of friends I've seen fall victim to this stuff.

I ended up with some fakes, so I just bought an adapter and use my gamecube controler as a classic controler

Just read the OP again and something caught my eye. As I understand, a CC Pro costs something like $55 in Sweden...? I haven't payed close to that much for a Wii U Pro controller.

By god.... got the fake in the mailbox today. So bad.. i wont be using this at all. Lesson learned, no third party controllers are the way to go. Luckily it was cheap!

Can you post a top down image or one a bit more zoomed in?
At the moment it looks fake but it could just be ware.

Im afraid i havent got a decent enough camera but i can explain how it feels. All the buttons need to be pressed wifh some serious force and the analogs..... wtf. Played some Xenoblade and when i pushed forward i ran to the right.. The two sticks are uneven in how they feel, left one terrible but the right one is okish (worse than nunchuck).

@Jazzer94 and im not even picky when it comes to things like this..

@Jazzer94 how do the buttons on a cc pro feel? like the buttons on the wii remote + nunchuck?

Looks like an ebay fake to me. I bought a couple and the L/R and zL/zR were the wrong way round so I sent them back! The fake ones I bought also had no "Wii" above the home button. I think it felt slightly lighter and flimsier than the real one but that could be my Nintendo tinted glasses making me think there was any real difference!

The 1 and 2 buttons on a Wii mote feel like the a, b, x and y buttons on the cc controller the analogue shouldn't feel stiff so you shouldn't need to use excessive force for any buttons its either fake or broken sadly.

@Jazzer94 yep... crap! a new cc pro goes for 30£ here in Sweden.... and a wii u pro around 50£

does the old regular classic (non pro) work the same as the cc pro? all of the vc (i want to play n64) etc.

Try looking for a game bundled with one sometimes they are cheaper than buying the controller separately also the non pro controller has all the same buttons its just more cramped and I think it only comes in white.

Wow. Guess I got lucky. The only problem with mine is the joysticks read inputs like analogue buttons, making it impossible to hit anything with a bow in Majora's Mask
