Nacon Revolution 5 Pro controller review: A tempting alternative to the DualSense Edge


A satisfying hybrid between the DualSense and an Xbox controller, the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro is well worth considering

It doesn’t feature any haptic feedback or adaptive triggers support, and you can’t turn your console on from sleep using the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro controller due to Sony’s technical restrictions. If you’ve grown accustomed to using an Xbox Elite Series 2 controller and don’t want to take your thumbs off the analog sticks during a firefight, having an extra two buttons to bind actions to is a big plus. Not only are they less prone to drifting – reassuring when you’re spending close to $200 on a controller – but they also offer more fidelity and precision, which is a huge plus when you’re making micro-adjustments when aiming in an FPS or simply want smoother inputs overall.
