As the title says. I asked the seller but he wont answer me. It looks real but who knows? Its hard to see from the photo. This is the only official one i could find to match them up.
It's either repainted or a 3rd party controller. Cause from what I remember the connectors that plug into the console were the same colour. However don't quote me on that 100% cause I might be wrong... but that's my only 2c on this.
No, the cable was still dark grey, and the ferrite bead and the console connector were still light grey on all the official SCPH-1080 controllers regardless of colour. So it does look like an official blue SCPH-1080 controller.
And it does not have a ferrite bead or the patent sticker like the retail SCPH-1080 does. That one seems to be based on the earlier SCPH-1010 controller instead, which lacked the ferrite bead, had a shorter cord and did not have the patent sticker on the console connector.
The Net Yaroze controllers, DTL-H3010, also do not have the label on the connector, and their connectors also match the color (and texture) of the controller and console. DTL-h3010 came bundled with DTL-H300X consoles, which is same generation of SCPH-3000, SCPH-1001, and SCPH-1002, these consoles came with the newer SCPH-1080. I say the one in the first pic is painted or 3rd party, though not 100% sure. the one in the 2nd pic, nice ray:
Seller wont even tell me the price on shiping so i quess he dont want to sell it to me. No worries. http://www.ebay.ie/itm/140700845939?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
A company called Innovation made different coloured PS1 controllers that look pretty identical (at least in low quality eBay photos) to official controllers, except that they say Innovation on them.
