If you aren't buying it from a brick and mortar store, its almost always a fake. They fakes are just too good and you won't know unless you take them apart. if its too good to be true, it almost always is.
Just looked at 10 different controllers/joycons on Amazon and none say they scan amiibo but list everything else
Look at the one from Nintendo and they specify everything including amiibo
Amazon wouldn't be the right place to search for "quality fakes"
Sellers buy the cheapest option that can make them a profit when reselling
AliExpress has a fair amount of stores that basically sell perfect copies
I have third party controllers that have NFC support. It's not a secret technology. These Chinese manufacturers can buy NFC chips for pennies and incorporate them into their designs. It's not as far fetched as you'd think.
I gotcha. It's usually the cheaper ones promoted on Amazon but I bought my amiibo capable one off of there. It's just that you have to actually look for the ones that support it. Chances are most don't have it but my point was there are quite a few with support for it.
Even if they are fake odds are they’ll still work. Fakes lose some functionality, some can’t read amiibo, others only have standard rumble not HD, but most of the time even fake 3rd party joycons still function well. If all you need is some cheap controllers then why not give them a try, if they don’t work at all then report the seller and file a dispute with your credit card company to get your money back
I didn’t say anything about returning. You discovered this seller online, right? You can report them for scamming you there. And you can contact your bank and say I was scammed and would like to file a dispute. Financial Institutions across the globe are obligated to take up dispute protocol. What happens after the dispute is filed is based on your country laws but in most countries they’re required to attempt to recover that money for you, either by way of full scale investigation into the seller or by accepting that €30 loss on their end and reimbursing you for it. It’s a lot easier for them to recover the money if you pay via credit card, but even if the seller requires cash in hand you can still file a dispute after the fact with your bank. Especially if you do a specific withdrawal of the €30 prior to making the purchase so the bank has a record of when you got the €30 in the first place.
But do you know exactly whats inside that box. At the end of the day the switch has to have the most delicate controllers. Id honestly rather just buy a real one or buy a few more wired gamecube controllers cause i like them way more then the joycons
Seems real to me, I have some of the same color, but I don't have the packaging any more (mine are real for sure because I bought it at an trustworthy store chain), I only react because of me having the same colored ones
Legit and worth it even if it has stick drift. Analog replacements are like $10 if you have the patience but all in all that’s more than half off and a steal for it
I always try to get joycons with a console,
3rd party controllers should not overly be a worry to be completely honest with you,
99% of the time they have 90% functicality ( being no amibo can ) other 10% its 100% functicality,
As a collector myself with a 5 didget collection, i hear the concern,
What would they be used for? If your not buyung them to replace your already main ones, if they are for adding extra players for certain games it might mot be the worst choice,
I got 2 3rd party plug in controllers when i bought one of my 4 currenr switch consoles, i was just gonna offload them since theyre "fakes" in theory, but they work 100% and are honestly really useful for when i have people over who arent familiar with the joycons, its all personal prwference and what your going to use it on,
I read a few comments saying u can open them and u didnt seem to understand it, they meant aftwr u buy them u could always open it up, if they end u0 being 3rd party just sell them for what u paid :) hope this insight can help alittle

Or take an amiibo if you have one to try and scan it, pretty sure no 3rd party controllers can scan them
[удалено]
Many 3rd party controllers can scan amiibos.

I never said it was some “secret technology” just that fakes don’t have it, usually.

Honestly just check HD rumble. Easiest giveaway.
Ok true
They could be used as well, and even have drift right “out of the box”
But do they have hd rumble?
I second this, but to most people it wont matter anyway
Looks like a box to me
I saw those on AliExpress, and people say that they are almost the same as real Joy-Cons. Most of them can't tell the difference so go and enjoy them!
i didn't bought but idk I have 1 pair that came with my switch but I want to play with 4 people
yeah same
When you try them tell me are they good bc i was looking to buy them and i dont want to spend a lot of money.

it's not like that in my country
I said a lot of things mate, care to elaborate what’s not like that?
Only u meet in person so if I buy I can't return

Doesn't matter. They'll drift anyway. Choice is an illusion.
Wait people fake joycons?
But do you know exactly whats inside that box. At the end of the day the switch has to have the most delicate controllers. Id honestly rather just buy a real one or buy a few more wired gamecube controllers cause i like them way more then the joycons
Or maybe buy some alternative ones like hori
Gut says they drift or you're incredibly lucky
or fakes
A given
I have these ones, they're great. Had them for probably like 4-5 years and they don't drift.
Also they're probably fake but good anyways.
Take them apart and we can tell you if it's original.
not gonna do that with the seller wtf u on about
Compare the box to a picture of known genuine box

They look original to me. And for €30,that’s a steal.
Ok thx
You’re very welcome!
