    Nacon Revolution 5 Pro Wireless Controller is the best I've used in 2024 so far that gets so much right at this price point. The feature list is insane with remappable buttons, weights, bluetooth audio, and Hall Effect technology that ends joystick drift. I want to note that this controller does not connect directly to the console via BT just to get the question out of the way. The controller feels great in the hand especially since you can add weighted dumbells to the controller. The ribbed grips stay firm in the hand while the design of the controller looks nice which extends to the triggers. I appreciate the black soft texture coating as some white controllers become dirty over some time, Nacon got as close to a Playstation 5 controller as they could and they did a good job with button placement. Love the LED ring around the Anglog stick that gives it a nice touch of color. I also like where the micro shortcut buttons are located and placed. The Revolution 5 Pro works with PS4, PS5, and PC and I have tested all systems listed with no issues. Using it on PC it acts/maps like an Xbox controller on Steam and most games. There are six interchangeable joystick heads and adaptative trigger stoppers with a switch in the back of the controller. This is a wireless/wired controller that comes with a USB-A to USB-C cable and two separate D-Pads which I changed for my playthroughs of gaming with an external microphone and USB dongle. There are more embedded within the app that you can download. There is no shortage of features if you looking for a pro controller. One of the controller's standing strengths is that it can pair with Bluetooth earbuds or a headset. This is one of the best "Pro" controllers I've used this year and taps the right features honestly. It feels solid like a controller in this category should, just nice to grip and hold firmly when playing games. easily to me to recommend to anyone doing esports.

    First, I must point out that this controller is designated as PRO, which is how I am going to approach this review. The controller comes in a very sturdy case. In there, several components, including a long USB-C to USB-A braided cable. The controller screams build-quality and I appreciate the matte back finish, which prevents smudges. There’s also RGB lighting for those who like that. Although designed with PS4 and PS5 in mind, the controller itself follows the XB physical design but retains the PS5 touchpad. It is lighter than the official controller, but that can be changed. As a PRO controller, it is fully modular and customizable. In addition to weight, you can change the stick caps, thumbstick travel, D-pad, and add Bluetooth compatibility with physical parts. You can also change wire/wireless mode, control volume, profiles, and device compatibility with buttons. This controller feels great in the hand. It is comfortable to hold, and the buttons are placed where I am already used to. The buttons have more travel than the PS5’s which I prefer. The triggers feel nice and smooth, and travel can be adjusted when needed. The default circular D-pad is not my favorite, so I am glad that a traditional cross D-pad is available. The analog sticks have a lot of travel and are loose, but again they can be tightened with the included rings. The caps feel good, and I went with the concave, although the dome option also feel good. I disabled the back buttons as I kept pressing them, but I am still glad they are there. Also, these back buttons can be modified. I do wish the volume and mode buttons were swapped as I pressed them a few times by mistake. The controller can be further optimized via PC software. Customizing the controller can be a bit intimidating and needs some patience as the app is extremely robust. However, if you like to tinker, you can change trigger response, stick travel, mapping, lighting effects, equalizer and test the controller. As I said, it does take some time and trial and error, but when it’s all done, you will be happier for it. I personally changed very little, leaving Sensitivity Plus off and delay as is. You can assign profiles per console, which can be accessed with the button on the controller. I am a bit disappointed that while the Nanco Rev Pro is PS licensed, it is lacking some quality-of-life options such as turning on the PS5, the vibration is hit-and-miss and shockingly not available on PS5, there is no gyroscope support, and needs a dongle that occupies a USB port on the console. As a Pro controller, I could make the case for it because of the tremendous number of customizations available. However, I still think that there are some features that I miss that other “pro” controllers have for almost the same price, and for gamers that just want a simple controller, the features may go over their head. While this may not have taken the PS5 controller’s place, it did become my daily driver for my PC.

    Wow! VERY Customizable PS5/PC Game Controller

    Not going to lie, when I opened the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro Controller Box I said WOW! Why? Because you're greeted by a very premium hard zippered case. I then said WOW again, because inside is more than I expected not only the controller, but a plastic case containing all these goodies that for the first time ever made me go to a website to read the manual to understand what was in that plastic box! From the outside the Nacon Revolution 5 controller looks a more premium PS4/PS5 controller. Touchpad, check. USB C, check. Extra long USB A to USB C braided cable, check. But where it really comes unto its own is all the extras - plug in microphone, check! interchangeable thumb pads, check! interchangeable DPad, check. Adjustable weight, check! The last one stands out because in the plastic box of goodies are metal weights so you can get the exact comfort and feel you want on the controller (see my photo) that you click in under the removable handgrips. All of the customization is easy to do and it was also just as easy to pair the Nacon to my PS5 and PC. There are some compromises though, all of which are Sony's fault - you do lose rumble on the PS5. This is Sony's limitation not Nacon's. I didn't think I would miss the rumble, but I was surprised to find out I did - so many games I play (God of War) just are not the same without that rumble. On a PC, playing Overwatch, the rumble from the Nacon is great. On both PS5 and PC I didn't notice any latency or gameplay issues, pairing is fast, buttons are responsive (they don't make a click sound if you're wondering). Overall, the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro is great controller and the only thing stopping me from 5 stars is Sony's limitation not Nacon. If you can live without rumble and want a great controller that you can customize, the Nacon is amazing. If you want a spare controller that you can take with you when you play PS5 at a friends, the included carry case also makes this amazing.

    Fun but Flawed

    [PROS] Look & Feel: Outside of resembling an Xbox controller, it has a nice appearance, and it is very comfortable to use. The face buttons are a bit larger making button travel easier, and the Nacon branded D-pad makes it easy to pull off diagonal inputs. I'm also fan of the textured, rubber grips found on the sides and joysticks. Despite my palms getting a little sweaty, my hands remained steady as I gamed. The LED effects are a nice addition and provides a further uniqueness to the device. Highly Customizable: My downfall as a gamer has always been precision when it comes to aiming. With the Revolution 5 Pro, I'm able to adjust the joystick shaft to make sure that I don't overshoot my target. Furthermore, I can make my fingers sit up taller with the thicker joystick heads allowing for a more comfortable feel. I also added weights to the side grips to give the controller a more heavier feels. Overall, there's a number of options to make the controller not feel or work like anyone else's controller. App Adjustments: In my quest to tighten up my aiming and precision, I've been able to make the same physical adjustments mentioned above through the Revolution 5 Pro App. The app has been beneficial for the most part. There's an expansive list of options allowing me to fine tune the controller for my needs. There's only 4 profiles, but it's enough for me to get started and jump between different style games. [CONS] Exhaustive Setup: The included "Quick Start" guide is not sufficient enough to get started right away with this controller. You really do need to download the manual from the website to understand the purposes of the many buttons and even how to connect it to your gaming device or how to connect a headset to it. Not much is straightforward. Even with the initial connection to the PC requires the controller to be toggled to PS5 or PS4 mode which is confusing. Button Placement or Excessive?: I like much about this controller, but I don't like everything. The S3 and S4 buttons are in locations where I would press them accidentally. Fortunately, I reduced the amount of times I click them after a number of sessions. There's also a lot of buttons on the rear of the controller. I appreciate them being available for a variety of situations, but they should have been relocated or simplified. [CONCLUSION] I love that this controller tries to be everything, but it has some moderate size misses. A simple "Pro" style controller is unrealistic, but it should never be overwhelming. Outside of some questionable design decisions, I still find myself more than satisfied using it. My accuracy and abilities have greatly improved in FPS and fighting games because of it.

    Really nice controller. My setup was on PC so not PlayStation in my household. Makes me want to buy a PS now. We will see. PC setup was a cinch. Basically plug and play with windows 11. Setup on Rainbow Six was super easy. All self explanatory. Also Wireless setup was super easy too. The really nice part of this controller is being able to customize the weight. There are 2 panels at each of the grips to open up and add the desired weights in there. To make it heavier to you satisfaction. Nicely done. LED lights are nice and subtle . Ability to program buttons is straightforward. Storage case is nice and compact and stores everything you need. Response times are nice. No lag or buffering. No complaints on both wireless and wired. Took about 2 hours to fully charge out of the box. Battery life is good. 5 hours of playing sor far and no issues. Appearance is nice. Black and simple. Sits well in my hand. I think I will definitely be using this controller as my go to for now. Good job Nacon.

    Out of the box I really wanted to like this controller, came with a very nice case, love the organization case for the weights and differnt thumbsticks, and a nice long braided USB C cable to connect it. On the surface this controller looks great and is definitely built with quality but it just doesn't hold a candle to other elite or performance controllers that I own. I play mostly XBOX Series X on console but also still really enjoy playing my PS4. This controller was to not only play PS4 but also use on my Gaming PC. Pros - Feels nice in the hands with solid quality build and the rubber grip on the sides is nice compared to some of my other controllers - Weights, restrictors, and thumbsticks come with a nice case so you don't lose them - Long braided cable to plug into PS4/PS5/PC - LED lights to confirm settings or changes from the controller when not using the app on your PC - Hall Effect joysticks feel nice and I do like the customer 8-way directional pad but if also has the standard one you can swap out if you don't - You can connec a bluetooth headset or earbuds to the controller and load or tweak EQ settings from the different profiles on the controller - Larger face buttons that are flatter vs other controllers and have a good feel and responsiveness to them Cons - Circularity test way higher than test I ran on my Gamesir Hall Effect controller that I picked up a few months ago (see picture) - No mouse click setting or at least as close to mouse click as you can get on a pro controller, still felt the throw on the triggers was too far for my liking in games like COD/Apex/The Finals without having to tweak the deadzone settings in each game if available - Rear button placement is not comfortable and placement is too far in towards the middle even for me and I have larger hads so compared to my SCUF Instint Pro and the XBOX Elite 2 controllers I also use this bothered me when playing COD or other FPS games I heavly rely on those rear mapped buttons for - NO BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY TO MY PC...seriously Nacon for this price point I can't even wirelessly connect this controller to my gaming PC to use between the PS4/PS5 and the gaming PC - USB dongle to connect to the controller wirelessly to either the PS4/PS5 or my gaming PC which is ridiculous since it has the latest Bluetooth standard but is restricted to only leveraging that for headsets and earbuds - Overly complicated with all the toggles and buttons all over this controller, I had to watch mutiple You Tube videos and download the manual from their site just to figure out how to reprogram the rear buttons - Couldn't get the app to let me login to attempt to update/configure via my PC, everytime I try it says I haven't verified my email and after a dozen times clicking the button to send me the email and never receiving it I just gave up and uninstalled the app from my PC Overall I had high hopes for this when I saw it and looked at the specs but there are a lot of downfalls or challenges with this controller. I definitely recommend you try to physically hold one and determine if you feel the way I feel about the rear buttons if you are a big user of them. For some they may like the placement but me personally it just isnt' comfortable for me when playing. Lack of bluetooth connectivity or having to constantly move a USB dongle between Playstations and PC to use this controller is annoying to say the least. At this price point there are just too many shortcummings to spend this amount of money for this controller.

    Great PS4/5 - PC controller. It comes inside a nice carrying case and they include a large braided charging cable, an USB wireless dongle, cleaning tissue. Inside the case you will also find a smaller plastic case, and inside there is a set of several weights, a different layout cross pad and sticks. The best benefit of this controller, is that both sticks are hall effect ones. What that means is they are magnetic and not using a potentiometer like regular controllers. This means they will never go bad and you will never experience "controller stick drift" over time. I love how customizable it is. If you plug it into your computer and install their software, you can highly customize it. Change button assigns, sensitivity, create new profiles (4 are included out of the gate). They say a mobile app is coming too. You don't need the software at all, if you just want to use it with a PS4/5 you can use the "C" standard mode (you can customize it on the fly too, using a combination of buttons), but I prefer the "A" advanced mode with the PC app, using this mode you can save your profiles/customizations to the controller and use it on a console. They include a set of different weights so you can customize the controller's weight to your liking. It feels very well balanced. It will work either corded or wireless using the included USB dongle. They also include a plug in adapter to support audio via the controller (typical minijack). Only cons I could find is the layout... if this is a PlayStation centric controller, why the Xbox style stick layout? Also, vibration only works on a PS4 and PC (but its not Nacon's fault, its Sony's, as they don't allow vibration on 3rd party controllers on the PS5). Battery life is great and I have gamed with it on my PC for about 3 days and battery was strong. The controller has LEDs that show you the remaining battery life. Highly recommend this controller if you don't want to have any more "stick drift" anymore!!

    This overall the perfect controller for me. It’s a little big, possibly a little bigger than an Xbox controller (also configured like one, layout wise). Overall if you’re fine with it being on the bigger side it’s worth it. I use it on Ps5 and compared to a few others I’ve used this is by far the best. Absolutely no input lag what so ever and it connected seamlessly. Also this controller comes with weights that you can put in the handles along with to paddle style buttons on the bottom (there’s also a paddle like button about where your ring finger would be for added options). The controller also has to modes preset and custom . It can also be connected using the BT dongle included or by wiring it directly with its charger (also battery life is decent but I haven’t paid much attention to it I believe it lasts around a week @ about 5 hrs of play time a day maybe more ).

    Not Worth The Trade-Off

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is the DualSense Edge and the Elite 2 controller blended together to make the perfect PC controller. The problem with that is, that doesn't mix well. You've got the Playstation logo on the controller, but it wants to be the Xbox Elite controller. The controls work well as the ladder, but the button layout doesn't play well with playstaion. It has the body for a PS 4 and control design scheme of an Xbox controller. I don't like to call out different brands, but it is kind of important to give an accurate visual of the build. Sony will not allow for the rumble feature to work on the PS5, so ax that idea unless you're using a PS 4 or a PC. Using it on my PC, I felt like it was smooth and responsive even though my PC doesn't support the DualSense format, but it will let it run like an Elite. I like that it comes with a nice carrying case, because there's a lot of hardware to unpack. You've got the controller, a really long type C charging cable, PC dongle, and box of controller accessories including but not limited to thumb sticks and D pad. This is a well built controller. I like the way it feels in my hands, but it doesn't make me want to put my actual DualSense Edge or Elite 2 controllers away. I like the battery power of the controller compared to the DS Edge, but it's just not worth the trade-off when I'm using the cable more often than not, on PC. And when on the PS 5, it just makes sense to stick with the licensed controller. After all, they're the same price. If that's the deciding factor, go with the name brand that does everything you want it to do. It's only the better option if you're playing on PS 4.

    For my usage, I tried to use the controller instead of the Xbox controller on windows PC. The setup was simple just plug it in and switch to PC mode and it recognizes it as an Xbox controller. Even the wireless dongle also works just plugging it in. The layout is just like an Xbox controller with the extra pad in the middle, but using it on PC you don’t get to configure or use this. You can switch it to the PS4 or PS5 setting, but the PC doesn’t recognize it unless you use Steam. And some games show the PlayStation layout while most just show it as Xbox. I do like the overall feel and build is solid. If feels and works better then the standard Xbox controller except for the start and back buttons are a little small. If this was just an Xbox controller layout I would make this my mains controller. I also like the bottom buttons especially as you can customize them. The problem is since it tries to be a PlayStation control with the Xbox stick layout you get the worsted of both. The other downside is the software. It’s not easy to use and confusing as you need to be connected as a PlayStation controller on the PC. It’s also confusing as you cannot modify the default layouts and instead need to copy and edit which isn’t too clear. I was also unable to click the update button. While it’s nice to customize the buttons, if you are using this on a PlayStation to have to get a computer to do it is a lot of work. While I want to like it I feel with the PlayStation layout and clunky software that it’s not a good choice.

    If you are looking to play PS5 games, especially the exclusive and first party titles then I would not recommend this. The main reason being is that this controller does not have the Adaptive Triggers that makes the DualSense so unique. But I do love this controller's agronomics and for playing PS4 games on the PS5 its perfect. You can adjust the wait of the controller and the back buttons are placed in a spot where your fingers might normally rest.

    The buttons on the grips constantly get accidentally pressed. The trigger stops on some fps games stop your guns from shooting . Had high hopes as this is the only controller I could find with Hall effects sticks for the PS5. O have two PS5 dual sense controllers with extreme stick drift. Will most likely give PC gaming a shot and sell my PS5. I would get a dual sense edge but having to replace thumb stick modules every few months would get expensive

    tl;dr - good for this casual gamer Picked this up from Best Buy (open box) as I had a $25 credit that was expiring. This is a backup to an Astro C40 (great controller but the triggers are squeaking annoyingly). This is about the same size and weight of the Astro but grateful for the USB-C connection (I mainly use it wired), There was a short learning curve as I'm used to the PS4's joysticks being thumb-controlled (vs asymmetrical) but I do see the benefit I like the heft - this is a solidly built controller. The only minor nitpick I have is that the sound EQ, 1) doesn't seem to stay set, and 2) doesn't really sound different - I've tried the racing and the arcade setting and they sound the same to me. Other than that, a good choice especially if you're planning to upgrade from PS4 to PS5

    I like the customization and button placement. However, it's heavy and has huge bulges on the back of the handles that make my hands cramp during FPS games. The added bulk makes it harder to reach the back buttons. It's really uncomfortable for smaller hands. I bought this because my PS5 Dual Sense got stick drift in only 3-4 months and I prefer the button layout of the Switch Pro and Xbox controllers. I also purchased it open box excellent to try it out and the charging port was damaged/ wouldn't stay connected. Close to perfect controller if they modeled the overall shape more like Xbox/Nintendo Pro controllers instead of the uncomfortable shape of Playstation controllers.

    I love this controller! The Revolution Pro 5 is such a premium controller that I am so glad I added to my collection. The look and feel is top tier and can't be beat by anything in the market right now. The second you power it on and see the beautiful bright white light surround the right thumb stick, you will instantly be in awe of this product. My hat goes off to the design team from Nacon! I've tested it for a week now (RE 4 and FC 24) and it has replaced all my other controllers. This is a must have!

    We bought one and my boys liked it a lot, so we ended up getting a second one after a while. The second one had uneven feeling between the joysticks so we had to take that one back. The first one is still great though. We will probably try another one when they go on sale again.
