Nowadays it's hard to tell if it is not a paint job.

i know of people making controller buttons but to have a custom controller top shell like that is alot of work to pull off if it were a custom...i'm not saying its not but like you said who knows whether it is our not ??? it would have to be someone with alot of time and effort to pull something off like that...also people were saying it might be painted or dyed?? the painting part i can see as one of the photos shows a section of the analog stick dome with a bit a paint rubbing off?? and i not sure this sort of plastic can be dyed ??

The controller is custom paint. The small details about that.

1. I didn’t see any small scratches at least up on controller. I believe if any dev used it then will be dirty somehow.

2 I found the controller very shiny.

3. The controller cable looks very cheap quality.

4. Maybe come from seller who selling the RARE Dreamcast consoles?? Belarus?

:lol:
For some reason I was thinking the same thing.
I completely agree, this is a fake, it is clearly visible that the controller is painted

maybe my eyesight isn't what it used to be but to me the cable in the first pic is blue/lilac/purple-ish and in the 2nd pic it's just a regular old grey cable. something doesn't seem right with that even if we all didn't think it hadn't been painted.

If you look at pictures 1 and 2.. it looks like the cord is blue on picture 1, and the normal gray color on picture 2 :?: :?:
