PS4 Controller

[Lord AvaLon]

Hello Everyone,
I am in a dilemma and wanted to seek some advice.
I wanted to buy a controller for my PS4 in white and went to market for the purpose but have two problems.
1. How to make sure the controller I am getting is original? Is there anyway to differentiate between original and fake or copy?
2. The online help I could muster brought me to a point to believe that the controller box with Chinese writing on it is first copy in general. But PS4 makes console and controller for all the region, doesn't it? Even if the box is not with Chinese writing, how to be sure if the controller inside has not been swapped?
3. What should be the price of controller? The shopkeeper's demand was even lesser than the competitive premium sellers on PG. It was surprising for me and endorsed my view further that it must be a fake. The shopkeeper demanded 5.5k for it.
Would appreciate your help in this regard.

1- I don't think there is one. Trust me. If you've ever held a original Dualshock 4. You'll feel the difference right away.
2- That could be a case, but then, it is best to buy from a suitable and reliable retailer, and yet again, the swapped one would have a difference.
3- The price is fairly okay. Rs 5500 for a new one is definitely alright. I bought a new one 5 months ago in 7000 Rs, so this is alright, although buying from a PG seller could cut some expenses.

Hope i helped.

1- This point, I'm also worried of but as far the performance concerns it could make a difference by its own.
2- Consult a Reliable retailor (Kiran ZONE, GAME CLUB if you lives in LHR.)
3- 5.5K is the price you'll get from every retailor in Lhr. and its the best price for PS4 Dual Shock 4.

PG has always been more than a guide for me.
A reliable seller contacted me and we had a good deal for the controller. Enjoying the second controller now.
Thank you all!
