Nacon Revolution 5 Pro Officially Licensed PlayStation Wireless Controller

The sticks on the controller that come with the PS5 are basically cheap garbage. I needed and bought a new regular PS5 controller around a year after buying the PS5 because the stick drift on the one the PS5 brought made it unplayable. Before the same thing happens again, I bought this Nacon controller, and I am so glad I did. I will admit it is pricey, but unfortunately, that is the current gaming landscape. I play a ton of Marvel Rivals, and this controller has proven to be amazing, NO MORE STICK DRIFT. The buttons feel firm and responsive. It has some back buttons you could remap; I like having my ultimate set to one button. My only con is that the control requires a USB dongle for wireless mode. You also cannot wake up the console with this controller because of the dongle. I know, I know, it's annoying, but the fact that I no longer have to worry about stick drift is worth it to me. Some advice: DO NOT put the dongle in the USB slot that is in the back of the PS5. If it is there, it will get EXTREMELY hot and probably kill the dongle

Best controller i have ever had , loved it so much i bought a second one for my good friend. Had mine for over a year no stick drift , no connection lag , the paint does wear off eventually but other then that it still functions as new after over 700 hours of COD .

Updating review for another bad issue with this controller and how it charges. The company has set up so the plug is recessed and just millimeters too big to be able to use any other USBC you own. This is a disgusting business practice as it serves no other purpose other then to force you to buy USBC cords that are long enough to reach the recessed charging port. Normally there is a way around it by carving a bit of plastic on an existing USBC when companies try and do this but this company found a way to prevent that hack by burying the plug in into the controller itself too deep. Seriously adds to the tech waste issue and defeats the whole purpose of establishing USBC as the norm, companies who do this are just trying to skirt around regulations by technically having a USBC but still finding a way to make it proprietary by making the controller and their own plug just too long. A lot of reviewers said a app was supposed to be coming in 2024, well that didn't happen. Makes me nervous if the firmware needs updated in the future. It works and connects well out of the box but the lack of an app is super weird, especially since it does connect to the phone via bluetooth. So much tech can update over an app with bluetooth, why havnt this company implemented that? I use this for PS5 and it does work great out of the box and connects smoothly. Some features you're locked out of though unless you have a PC which left me a bit sour. I'll still keep it though, feels good in the hands, just hope it never needs updated as that will be a real hassle.

The NACON Revolution 5 Pro Controller feels like a serious upgrade over standard controllers in terms of customization and build quality, but it also comes with a learning curve and a few quirks. In-hand feel is solid — it’s heavier than a typical controller, which makes it feel more “pro-level,” though that won’t be for everyone. The grip is comfortable for longer sessions, and the button response feels precise once you get used to it. The biggest strength is customization. You can adjust profiles, sensitivity, and mapping in ways most standard controllers don’t allow, which is great if you’re into competitive gaming or like fine-tuning your setup. On the downside, setup and software configuration can feel a bit overcomplicated at first. It’s not something you just plug in and instantly master — you’ll likely need some time to dial in settings that feel right. Battery life is decent, and connection stability has been reliable so far, but I did notice it’s more sensitive to configuration changes than simpler controllers. Overall, it’s a strong option for serious players who want customization and performance, but probably overkill if you just want a simple, pick-up-and-play controller.

TL;DR: bought for PS5 •Feels like playing with an Xbox controller (which is loved) •A lot of customization options on controller itself, but not through Playstation settings •Extra buttons that feel as though they can be beneficial for more control-demanding games (looking at you, Elite: Dangerous) •Minimalistic light bars around controller as well to give clues as to what you've given it (I.e. the sides of the touch pad glow red to show you've muted yourself) •Loose feeling sticks, but haven't had stick drift problems •Taller sticks make it feel more precise, downside is need to have longer motion for faster movement •It HAS to take up a USB-A slot (down side for me, personally) 4/5, feels like a controller on steroids that needs a bit of space as well. Long Version: I've always said, Xbox has the ergonomics, Playstation has the innovation. This combines both and then some with how the setup can be done from the weight of the sticks themselves, to the button layout for more intuitive games out there. I've yet to have seen a controller have little short-stoppers built within so triggers can be half squeezed. But this is my first type of higher-end controller so take that with inexperience. It can work in both wired and wireless. The only downside to that, is both have to be plugged into the USB-A port because Playstation will not recognize the controller itself. The wireless part comes into action with a USB stick. This is a downside for me only because I had a microphone plugged in there. 'Why not use your headset one?' Well 1, thanks for assuming I have a headset. You're right, I do, but the mic wasn't all that great. And 2, the microphone plugged into the USB-A sounded a lot better, thank you. I play in a dark room so the controller tends to be rather bright. When first activated, the light up ring on the right stick will be rather bright. I tried to go into settings to turn it low on the Playstation menu, but thats when I realized it doesn't notice the controller at all. So now I have the ring as a red color to be less intrusive on the eyes (flick a switch in the front of the controller for that to happen) I haven't ran into stick drift problems so far. And the way the sticks feel with their height is actually rather nice, and may take a moment to get use to. When first starting to play out a game, I've notice how slow the character can turn with some precision I haven't really noticed before. Yet when fully flicking to the left brings it back to whatever sensitivity setting you gave it before hand, which can make some situations feel awkward at first the reason being that you'll have to find that sweet spot of not moving the stick to little, nor too much. Buttons are also a lot closer. Another thing to get a bit use to because there's a chance of pushing two at the same time. Or even one of the buttons on the handles of the controller as well. Which can be funny at times because here I am attempting to pull out another weapon and as I push one button to do so, I grip the controller a bit too much, press the handle button, and make my character jump as well. It's small things that you'll have to get use to which will happen over time. Worth the money? Hell yeah. Why 4's if it's so good? Because it has to have its own support to be recognized by the console instead of just connecting like how all the other wireless controllers Sony makes do. I remember being able to push the PS button on the controller and the console turns on. It became a big habit, now I gotta go to the PS console itself to turn it on, and then the controller. But with how nice this thing feels? I'll take it.

The first thing I noticed when I picked up this controller was the grips felt inwardly fat in a way I never expirienced before with pro controllers like the Elite or the Astro C40, which made me question my decision in purchasing this. Having said that, i've more or less gotten used to it and Im prepared to make this my everyday controller. Buttons, responses and everything all feel great, and it's cool that there's customization of weights, joysticks ect... It's unfortunate this lacks many dualsense features, but all I really wanted was asymetric sticks(delivered) and for those sticks not to be wrecked within 6 months of purchase as I often burn through dualsense controllers. Which, we'll see. I'll certainly update my review if anything bad happens, or possibly if this lasts me forever and I remember. Overall so far Im happy I got this but the main reason it gets 2 stars off is the D-pad is straight up TRASH. Super dissapointing for fighting games and platformers. You get this weird circle pad, which you hope would be like the Elite's 8 direction pad, but it's...just a plastic disc with squishy imprecise feedback. You can swap it for a conventional d-pad, but then that one's squeaky for some reason, hopefully that gets broken in. This is a horribly missed opportunity for either a split d-pad or something with clicky feedback anyone who wants the xbox expirience is going to look for. I wish someone with a 3D printer would make a split d-pad for this at least. Then it would be perfect. But Nacon doesn't seem interested in even making existing replacement parts available. So unfortunately you're just not going to get the sort of asymetrical xbox controller on a playststion expirience you're looking for. But it is an improvement over the dualsense(which has a trash d-pad anyway) for me. So pressuming it lasts as long as it should, Im good with it. It's probably worth it on sale.

Amazing product has a good battery. Life came in great condition. The layout is amazing. I finally got rid of my stick drift. And it feels so great to the touch when I shoot or play any type of fighting game really it reacts quickly quicker than my other controller which is the regular PS5 controller as the regular PS5 controller has horrible stick drift this controller can’t get stick drift. It’s amazing controller and I definitely think people should buy this.

* 1st Edit after owning for 1 week. (10/18) ** 2nd edit after owning since October (11/26 as of typing this) *** 3rd Edit (12/17) **** 4th Edit (4/16) **** Nothing negative has come around from using this controller. I just urge you to clean the thumbsticks with the included cloth after every session and this bad boy will last you a lifetime *** I've tested its wireless capabilities and its blown my socks off! No input delay whatsoever and the battery life can last quite a while! i have noticed that the PS5 can get a bit heated depending on the game you play (TO BE FAIR ITS ONLY HAPPENED TO ME ONCE) and the USB receiver can get too hot and shut off. I just let it cool down and re-inserted it in the port on the back of my console and it worked flawless again. I read a comment similar to this somewhere down the list. I still highly recommend this to ANYONE looking for a PRO controller that is not the Duelsense Edge Pro. I had a friend get one of those recently and they already went through at least half a dozen modules in a single year. Get this instead. The magnetic joysticks are absolutely something worth trying. THERE IS A LEARNING CURVE so fine tune it through the app + whatever game you decide to use this controller on to REALLY get it perfect to your playstyle. There is a night and day difference in the feel and weight compared to a standard Duelsense controller or any controller for that matter. ** Absolutely phenomenal piece of equipment! Still have zero complaints about this. The battery life is great. Played it wirelessly for about 5 different gaming sessions all being about 4 hours each. 20 hours in and still no reason to charge! I haven't used the mic adapter as i use a wireless steel series headset but i hear its amazing especially with the built in voice control panel on the back of the controller. I've made a few profiles on the app and its seamless to transition between sets say GTA V, COD, Fortnite, and Minecraft. All being absolutely perfect! Dead zones are holding strong and the trigger stops are a game changer! Just get the dagum controller already! Scope out for any online deals as amazon does that from time to time. I managed to snag one when it was 125 and that's without prime or anythng extra. *The quality and feel is phenomenal! Well worth the investment, id keep checking the price around the holidays as you can get it at a pretty hearty discount. I use the included cleaning cloth to wipe away any grime or debris after my gaming sessions. I got to mess with the full customization using the web based app. It works on both mac and Windows but you got to find a work around via reddit to get it to work with Mac unless you're tec savvy. Mac recognizes the program as malicious so you gotta tell it otherwise lol. The app for the computer is amazing and you can really fine tune your preferences and such. Absolutely still a 1000000000/10 controller So far I love this thing! I’ve been using the standard Duelsense controller from the box till it has massive stick issues. So I bought a dark camo one from my local game shop. The controller itself was fine but I added some custom paddles till those failed on me (ribbon ripped somehow) So I bought this to hopefully get everything straightened out, and thankfully it did! The software is a learning curve but nothing too impossible! All the different things you can do to this thing is perfect! A fine price of engineering!!! Loving this premium feel of everything! This is my 3rd day owning this and I intend on making this last for YEARS! The last pro controller I owned was an Astro C40 TR for the ps4 and my face button’s broke on me after the silicone broke inside and left with no other option but to use it as a paperweight Pros: * All 4 Paddles feel and sound like mouse clicks. If that's your thang, then this is perfect * All the accessories that it comes with is perfect. The additional weights, the thumbstick risers, concave and raised are a premium feel. I haven't yet put on Kontrol Freaks as of yet but these in my opinion do better! * There is some metal rings you can attach to the thumbstick that reduce its travel distance to give you more of a precision edge in lets say FPS games (Call of Duty like shooters) and it WORKS * The premium rubber/textured plastic that surrounds the controller feels absolutely wonderful in the hand especially if you have some sweaty hands, this is the perfect feel and grip for you and just about anyone else who wants a premium feel. * The software is amazing and id recommend taking time to setting up and fine-tuning your fine piece of equipment to your tailored liking as it WILL be different than a standard Duelsense Edge or regular Duelsense controller due to the Magnetic Thumbsticks. The Cons (if there is any) * The only gripe that i think others wont enjoy is that YOU WILL NOT HAVE VIBRATION/RUMBLE WHEN PLAYING PS5 GAMES. If this is a dealbreaker, i say just deal with it because you will grow to love EVERYTHING else about this controller. * You cannot play PS5 games with the PS4 setting turned on and vice versa. There is no workaround as this is in fact a 3rd party controller at the end of the day but that's a Sony issue, not Nacon. If you can look past the rumble/vibration and the limitations of the controller (that i listed), then this is the PERFECT controller. I have some friends that will attest to me that they had their controller last them 6+ years!! If you're still reading this then go ahead and buy it! I got this when i was looking at a Duelsense Edge pro controller and im SOOO glad i got this instead! If you’re still reading, I’d buy this pronto! What are you waiting for!?!?

Quality, fast shipping and great price!

Ya me dió drift, alch y llevo 4 meses con él

خذيت هالقيمر بعد اخترب علي منتج سياء جدااا 😂😂😂😂

Very nice controller. Customisable everything. Only sad part is it does not support vibrating function on PS5.

Hasta el momento estoy satisfecho, espero no falle al igual que el victrix que no duró ni un año
