- In-depth adjustable weight model
- hair triggers
- Best analog sticks I have ever use
- Latency? What Latency?
- easy to use PC software
- Included microphone for headset
- Bluetooth for headset directly on the controller
- Hall effect on both sticks and triggers
- button clicks feel great
Controller can be nice and heavy and bottom buttons are sturdy - Nacon just cant seem to miss - I Have preferred Nacon controllers since their first Revolution model on the PS4 and they are always amazing controllers - They also actually last - I got this used and it came missing the wireless dongle so I cannot comment on that - I am not going to remove any stars though because I purchased 75% off and that was the only thing wrong - This is a solid buy and 200 dollars is a fair price for what it includes - if you can find it on discount its a no brainer

Best pro controller yet

The Revolution 5 Pro is incredible for PC gaming it does not have haptic feedback or adaptive trigger support on PS5 but it does have rumble on both PC and PS4.
Now that we got the only negative thing out of the way lets discuss why the Revolution 5 pro is incredible and you should absolutely consider getting one.
1. Hall effect joysticks and triggers
Hall effect technology is incredible it delivers more precision without the worry of ever getting stick drift it uses magnetic sensors that give you near perfect input that never wears out or degrades
2. You get multiple changeable Joysticks and weights that you can use to make the controller lighter or add some weight to it.
3. Remapping of 4 back buttons
4. This controller feels incredible in my hads very premium experience especially for PC gaming.
I love this pro controller more than my elite series 2 and dualsense edge pro controllers.

Currently the best PS5 "Pro" controller for me

I researched each of the PS5 "Pro" controller options, and this one seemed to check the most boxes for me. It has 4 remappable buttons on the rear, hall effect joy-sticks, and some of the best battery life offered on PS5 controllers. It comes with a decent case and a plastic case for the extra accessories like joystick heads, different shafts that change the range of how much you can move the sticks, and extra weights if you want to make the controller heavier.
At first the controller felt a bit weird with the responsiveness of the sticks. I downloaded the Nacon software on my PC to fine tune the controller. That made a huge improvement in how the sticks felt afterwards, so I'd recommend doing that ASAP. The software also lets you customize the rear paddle mappings and the light around the right stick if you're into that, but I personally turned it off.
I got the controller "open-box excellent" for just under $100, and for that price I say it's totally worth it (especially since Sony raised the price of the regular Dual Sense to $75, so this controller wasn't too much of a jump from there). Overall once you get the buttons mapped and the joy-sticks dialed in, this is a good controller.
As to why I rated it 4 stars, the shape of the controller felt a bit uncomfortable at first and took some getting used to. It also has a bit of creakiness if you squeeze the controller around the textured parts on the handles, and parts can become smudgy even playing with clean hands. The PC software also had a bit of a learning curve, and it kind of stinks you can't do these customizations on the PS5 itself.
If you can get it on a good sale or open box like I did, those flaws are easier to overlook, but I definitely wouldn't spend the full price of $200. If you're patient there may be a PS5 version of the Razer Wolverine 3 eventually, but right now it's only for Xbox. That controller seems perfect for me, but I needed something now since I just got the PS5 Pro. I think the Nacon 5 is currently the best option on the market, so if you need something now I think this is a solid option overall.

I’ve been using the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro for a while now across both my PS5 and PC, and it’s a great controller, especially if customization and precision are important to you. The build quality feels premium, and the textured grips make it comfortable for longer gaming sessions. The Hall Effect joysticks and triggers are a standout feature, delivering very precise control with no stick drift, which has been a problem with other controllers I’ve used.

It's a good control but it doesn't have all the options that a regular ps5 controller like the dualsense or the microphone that creates a surround effect when you play, for the price I expected this but I really didn't check it before buying it. It works as expected, the only bad thing is what was mentioned above. In addition, if you are not used to these types of controls, it will be difficult for you to adapt a little at first. I would be more inclined to a Sony controller in my next purchase that includes all the features as expected.

The hal effect sticks are a life changer absolutely amazing for fps games and versatile with design choice I haven’t tried and racing games or fighting games but I’m sure they would run nice too the one thing I would like that they don’t have are mouse click triggers but not having them gives you much more ability to play more games I personally play with no vibrations but the trigger vibrations feel awesome on fps games if you don’t take it to serious all in all I really would give it a 10/10 and totally worth the money of never having to have stick drift again I’ve had the controller for months of hardcore play and let it sit for about two months after daily 5-8 hour daily usage I low key expected there to be stick drift after leaving it so long (I’ve had that problem with other controllers) and there was absolutely no stick drift it’s amazing also last thing there is one set of sticks it comes with that you can put control freaks on

I've got the best controller for shooting video games.
It's total precision, speed and comfort.
Highly recommended

I love how fast this controller reacts when it comes to the game time that I have like. It is incredible how I'm able to switch from Bluetooth to basically wired and actually get an accurate shot when it comes to Call of Duty or any fast-paced games, I love them. This controller is so much that I would recommend it to other people. And it's so easy to use and easy to understand that I will a 100%. Recommend it, the employee that told me about it. Was very very smart

Changeable d pad and toggle, also trigger locks and weight that you can add to control. The o control also has a rubber sort of feel I like it hands can't sweat out. But the battery is concerning...

I mainly bought this controller to mimic an Xbox controller since I’ve always hated the side by side anolog sticks on the PlayStation controllers. I can safely say this turned me into a PlayStation user, and I don’t regret it. Cons; doesn’t vibrate/rumble with ps5, doesn’t turn on system remotely, and occasionally the interchangeable thumb grips can pop off if you’re a little rough, but besides that it’s been great to be able to play PlayStation with a controller I’m comfortable with.

Definitely a high quality controller for what it offers and what you put your miney towards for the simple fact to get non stick drift and since it has extra buttons it may take time to get used to but Definitely nice to have just in case

This controller has everything and no worries about stick drift. The price seems steep, but it pays for itself because you don’t need to replace traditional controllers. Well worth the investment . A little large for my hands, but you can use the alternative triggers to solve this. Comes with so many features.It came in fast and has a nice hard case with all the tools necessary to optimize it yourself for comfort and convenience. Lights up with indicators. Thick and durable charging wire. Really a next gen controller!

Awesome controller, I purchased it for my PS5.... only downfall is SONY has a copyright on their vibration feedback function, so sadly this controller has no vibration function you can use on the PLAYSTSTION 5.. regardless, this controller is very programmable and feels like a very high end controller

It was a really good controller, but it was short-lived, knowing it was not the right one that I needed for my son's console. The picture at the bottom is the controller I needed.
