Hi,im sorry if this doesnt go here, im gonna give a little bit of story regarding this:
Im a Xenoblade fan, like the franchise, but during the release of the XC2, i barely was able to get my collectors edition, since 2017 i've been looking to get a legit XC2 Pro controller, until last summer, when i managed to get one (or so i thought), the controller had everything in place, the nintendo logos, it woke up the switch with the home button, the box was 100% legit, it included an official nintendo cable, it felt great, never tested nfc because i don't own any amiibos nor amiibo cards, the HD rumble worked as expected, anyway, it seemed like a complete genuine product.
All good until a few weeks ago when the controller started acting up after i tried to update it; i connect to the dock with the cable included, go to settings>controllers>update controllers, it fails to do so, even when it's being detected as a genuine nintendo switch pro controller showing the icon with the xenoblade colors, in some games now suddenly it has an amazing input lag, connection loss, the only way to use it was via cable, wirelessly became useless.
I thought that well, its a 2017 controller, maybe the battery needs a replacement, since they use the same battery used on the 3DS console, i decided to use the new battery i had on my 2DS (no xl) to test it, and thats when i found that the motherboard doesnt look anything like an official pro controller motherbaord, this one was labeled as a "SWITCH-XBT-V2.0", and manufactured on 2021.1.21, and here i am feeling like the biggest idiot in the planet.
This part was the warning, if you are looking for a limited production pro controller and you want a legit, genuine nintendo controller, the only way to know is to see the motherboard, don't trust anything besides the motherboard, if the seller doesnt want to show you the mobo, forget it, as they will almost 100% sure, trying to scam you, i lost 80€, you could be throwing even more.
Now to the help call:
Until it crossed my mind, i have many choices, i could try sending it to nintendo for repairs, or look for an official pro controller motherboard and replace the fake one with an official one (if anyone knows where i can get one i would apreciate it), since all the holes for the screws seem to be in the exact same position as the genuine pro controller.
Maybe i could try reselling it in an attempt to get my money or part of it back.
Im gonna contact the dude that sold it to me to see if he knows anything about it.
Basically im just asking where i could get a genuine pro controller mobo.
On a side note, i own a 8bitdo SN30 Pro (the snes like one with the joysticks) and i sometimes have trouble connecting it to the switch, if someone knows why.
