Expensive
Non-standard format
One of the great things about gaming is the games you play and the hardware you use to play in those games there are usually lots of options to choose- it is if you are not a PlayStation gamer.
Sadly, Sony is quit enough to license for third -party controllers, so your options are limited to upgrade to a pro controller from Sony’s Duelsens controller. Except for Sony’s own Duelsen Edge, there are not many choices, which is why I jumped from Nacon to the chance to try the revolution 5 Pro. This is of course the best, but one of the most unique PlayStation controllers I used.
Various designs
The first thing I noticed about the revolution 5 pro is the unfinished Jystick Layout. This is the only official PlayStation 5 controller I’m aware of it as lying as it can be better or worse depending on your preferences. If you are coming from Xbox or using an Xbox controller with your PC, you will feel right at home. However, if you are upgrading from something with the Traditional PlayStation Layout, such as Duelsens or Duelsens, it may be a bit accustomed to it.
There is a ton of control at the back, with four programmable buttons, profile-shade switches and trigger stops.
This is not the only difference from a standard dualis. Nacon is a bit taller with the sidewalks and the mouth buttons are much larger and flattering. The grip material also has more rubber, distinct textures that I like than the other regulators I used. The triggers are also felt more like the Xbox triggers than duelts, which can be a bit accustomed to those who have never used anything.
This is also incorporated with the effect Jystics and the triggers with two-way trigger stops, then, in fact, a bit frustrating. The second phase simply stops the trigger in half and I can be short or long instead of long and half-brief: I can’t get the trigger to activate the muscular memory and have left the shots missing. You can customize it in the application, but I would rather get the hardware option.
Frankly, small trigger stops can create problems in games with drawing weapons like a Horizon series, but I would rather keep it and turn it off rather than not keeping it.
Groups have cavities for weight that you can use to customize the controller’s custom.
Four remapable buttons on the back make the sight of the sight and great, but I have sometimes seen myself liked the paddles on the edge of the duelsens. Although this controller has only two back buttons, and I used to have four buttons than two paddles any day.
Heavy grips
Revolution 5 Pro has a fancy feature that I have not yet seen any other controller (it’s found in some gaming rats). Inside the Groups you have a place to add weight to different sizes depending on your gaming choice. Nacon offers a pair of 10, 14 and 16 grams that you can add to the right heavyness for your play style.
A platform switch on the back allows you to hap between PS5, PS4 and PCs and a button for quick switching profiles and a switch to change from classic to advanced mode. In classic mode, the controller performs like a standard controller, a few options (like the buttons remaping) that you can customize without applications. Advanced Mode lets you use the PC app for some of the granular customization.
The controller brings accessories like weight set, carrying case and Bluetooth adapter.
The PC app claims to a callout because it has the most granular customization option I have seen in a regulatory application. In addition to the standard set of the settings you expect, the button is remaping, profile support (four active), as well as the Joystick Dead Zone and the trigger reaction. However, what distinguishes Nacon is that it shows a linar graph for the dead regions and the trigger reactions so that you can make the performance subtle. If you want to create the perfect gameplay experience for your favorite games, it’s great.
Some trade off
Battery Life in the Revolution 5 Pro was pretty great for me. Nacon has promised very conservative “more than 10 hours” but I have received significantly more time. I have been able to use it for about two to three hours every day without recharge. Lack of hapatics and adapted triggers certainly helps to prolong the battery life but I do not object to the tradeoff.
It comes to a few decent colors, though Panda is my favorite and you get some beautiful accessories including it, including a Bluetooth adapter for wireless headphones.
You can find that you can spend 200 $ for any controller, I think it’s worth it for it, especially if you want a pro-level controller with great hardware and subtle-surrender options. The lack of incomplete Jystick Layout and Haptics and adapted triggers is understandably, for some may be a deals breaker, but for me, these agreements are suitable for it.
