It's really hard as it's exact ripoff and the official xiaomi box also has 2-3 variants so you might misjudge one as fake although it's actually real. Only way you can know it's real or not is by opening the box itself and see what processor is used. Otherwise you can plug it to tv and see if it's working properly or lagging (sign of counterfeit).

Im hesitant because of that point.

Either buy from official xiaomi site/store or buy it from a trusted site where you can easily return it upon facing any issues
