Beware of fake Nunchuk !!!

Since the console accompanied by only one Wiimote and Nunchuk a, I also ordered my Wii Play incl. Wiimote and Nunchuk another. The order of the Nunchuk (ie not from Amazon itself!) Was on the Amazon Marketplace. The important thing here was an original Nintendo Nunchuk and not a model from another manufacturer to obtain. Unfortunately, it turned out upon receipt of the controller that this had significant differences to the one who comes with the Wii console. These differences are:

- On the bottom next to the connector of the cable, the embossed in the plastic label 'RVL-004', which is available at the original is missing
- The plastic that makes up the upper side of the controller is significantly thinner than the original, which one recognizes very well where the "control Knubbel" rausguckt
- The plastic of the 'control Knubbels' on the upper surface is smoother than the original, and has a slightly different shape, in particular the underside of the "mushroom head" is rounder than that of the original, and the ring on the top side is less pronounced
- The 'tax Knubbel' itself has lower restoring forces than the original and can be operated less precise
- The screws used are different than the original. In particular, when the two screws that top and bottom of the controller stick together to Phillips screws, while Nintendo exclusively used Triwing screws.
- The screws on the plug the Nunchuk are indeed TriWings, but look a bit different than the original
- The small round quality assurance label on the controller (labeled 'HT' with the numbers 1-12 around it) points to China or Hong Kong as a production site there and missing accordingly on the original from Japan.
- Overall, the build quality of fakes is rather moderate, the gaps are uneven and the edges trimmed worse than the Nunchuk Nintendo

From the first application it was found that the fake Nunchuk can not compete with the original:

- The buttons Z and C have more game and later, harder, but imprecise pressure point feels after "click switch" on
- The tax Knubbel is less precise and does not move as soft as the original
- At the rubber / plastic of control Knubbels immediately collect dust and dirt
- In the game "Panzer Box" from Wii Play, the tanks did not move after a short time with the control nub, but only went to the right

In principle, nothing to say against third-party hardware (it must also not be worse than the original), but you should be able to rely on it, that it is indeed the original hardware of Nintendo when offered True if The product description is not expressly differently. In my case, standing on the otherwise completely japanese label packaging the Nintendo logo and an English-language notice, the content is intended exclusively for the Japanese market. When asked me the customer hotline of Nintendo announced but with that Nintendo sold worldwide the same hardware and prove the above discrepancies clear that there must be a product of another manufacturer. On demand from the merchants stated however that it was in the unit me sold to Japanese Original True. According to the statement of the Nintendo hotline this is wrong, that the Nunchuk goes back and I get you now an original Nunchuk elsewhere.

Conclusion: Eyes on the Nunchuk purchase: Where has it Nintendo is Nintendo also be inside.
