What ebay feedback do I leave (if any)?

[AndyP]

I don't know what to do about feedback to leave for this PS2 control pad I got off ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....tem=8223720715

The transaction was fine.
The delivery was fast.
The item looks good.

But I just have this gut feeling that it isn't a genuine product. You can't tell from the looks, but it just seems like the buttons on it are a little more clunky than a genuine, and the analog controls don't seem quite right. Or maybe it's just the characteristics of a new control pad and just me being paranoid.

Unless something goes wrong, I can't leave negative. Neutral doesn't seem right either.
So I guess I either leave positive feedback or nothing at all.

Get a professional (game shop, or me ) to have a look.

If it's a fake but it works and you are not happy, leave a netural feedback if you want.

You're a professional on control pads?

On games ... well I was anyway.

In my experience if the pad is feeling clunky usually it is because of use...after a while the contacts get gunky (is that a word?) from all the grime and grit of everyday use. Also another thought....If the previous owner used it as a DVD controller he may have masturbated all over it

You did clean it before using it I hope

Another point to consider...I have 4 controllers....The two originals I bought in 2001 were both made in Taiwan. The two I've bought since then are made in China. They feel slightly different to the others, both in texture & the way the analouge reacts on all buttons/sticks.

Check underneath and see where its made.

It's new, gumbi.
Post ignored.

Good thinking, drunken.
My other control pad must be 3 or 4 years old by now, so maybe I am too used to it.

One thing to note from the auction is that he never mentions "sony" or "genuine".

Just checked. Both made in China.
There are subtle differences in the look of a couple of buttons and the analog light. But that doesn't really mean much.

I knew about the buy it nows, as I was never going to bid more than the $11 he has on some of them. Although you will find that plenty of morons did.
He also only started up a couple of months ago and has been selling plenty.

Suss, yes, but I figured the $20 I was shelling out was just as much as what I would pay for some crappy generic brand, so worth the risk.
