Absolutely amazing controller, you are to make so many adjustments to help your game play. I 100% recommend this controller it definitely makes a difference in the gameplay experience

Good response rate paddles feel nice I like the customization feature I can add lots of options this is a pretty good one

As an avid gamer with a wide array of controllers in my collection, I've experienced a variety of designs and functionalities over the years. The Nacon Revolution 5 Pro is the latest addition to my arsenal, promising a blend of innovation and customization. The Nacon Revolution 5 Pro sets itself apart with its balanced weight and a multitude of customization options. It's designed to cater to a diverse range of users, offering additional weights and various input options for a personalized gaming experience. I particularly appreciate its versatility in connectivity, with options for Bluetooth, wireless dongle, or USB-C connection, making it highly adaptable for different gaming setups. However, it's not without its flaws. I encountered issues with the software recognition and connectivity via the wireless dongle, though USB-C provided temporary relief. These issues were unexpected, especially considering my satisfactory past experiences with other Nacon controllers. The touchpad, while a neat feature, unfortunately, lacks functionality when used with a PC – a missed opportunity for innovative interactions. Despite these drawbacks, the controller excels in performance and comfort. It's particularly suited for games like side-scrollers and puzzles, where the familiarity with varied button layouts from different console controllers comes in handy. The back buttons, though not currently remappable due to software issues, are discreet and don't interfere with gameplay. With the promise of future software and firmware improvements, there's potential for this controller to become even better. In conclusion, the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro is a mixed bag. While it faces challenges in software connectivity, it shines in other areas. Its ergonomic design, customizable nature, and diverse connectivity options are notable. The battery life, lasting about 10 hours, adds to its convenience for wireless gaming. Balancing these aspects, I still find it recommendable for its strengths, with the hope that future updates will iron out its current shortcomings. Key Features: -Balanced weight with additional weights for customization -Multiple connectivity options: Bluetooth, wireless dongle, USB-C -Rechargeable battery with approximately 10 hours of life -Customizable button mapping (when software functions properly) -Ergonomic design suitable for various game genres Pros and Cons: Pros: -Comfortable and customizable design -Versatile connectivity -Good battery life for wireless gaming -Suitable for a range of game types Cons: -Issues with software recognition and connectivity -Touchpad functionality limited on PC -Back buttons not currently remappable -Potential for software/firmware improvement needed

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.

Great controller. Shipping was also fast. I want to buy two more.

I’m absolutely in love with the controller is a great aim no no controller drift Xbox layout for extra buttons.

The best recommended, my kid loved it. Best present for a family member.

Definitely needs tweaking in the app but once you have that to your liking it’s great specially for fps games

It works so well while having so much options for what is most comfortable for you as a controller

The controller is customizable you can add weight to it. The microphone is top notch! You can use the preprogrammed modes for most games. It's a very nice piece of equipment for games like Helldivers2 and Fortnite works well with Destiny 2 and it's super nice with PoE and if Diablo 4 was good it would be great for that as well! Thanks Bestbuy! The controller came the next day which was 3 days faster than originally quoted!

Good controller wish it was in ps layout but wasn’t hard to get used to the Xbox layout idk if it’s normal or im seeing it wrong but my right stick leans to the left

Great controller. App is super easy to use and program controller to your preferred usage. 100 percent recommend this controller. Doesnt matter the kind of game, this is your controller.

The Nacon Revolution 5 Pro is a wireless controller aiming to appeal to serious gamers boasting unique features, exceptional performance and personalization options that may justify the cost for some. Here's a breakdown of its strengths and weaknesses: Unboxing: Right off the bat, this is a premium build and premium quality controller. It arrived well packaged in a beautiful but tuff carrying case along with all the accessories nicely packaged in a box of their own. In that case you also receive an about 6ft long USB cable for charging and data transfer. You will need to update the controller by downloading the software from Nacon’s website. One thing I will mention is that this controller did not seem to come a quick start guide and the guide that was included was very lacking. I pretty much had to experiment on how to change out the joysticks which turned out to be simple, just pull them out. The controller can be used on and is compatible with variety of platform, such a PC, PS4 and PS5. Some features of the controller are restricted on the PS5 console such as the haptic feedback. Strengths: I wanted to start this with something that most gamers deal with an issue that I was also dealing with until I got the Nacon, which is stick drift. The Nacon Revolution 5 Pro has eliminated stick drift in its controllers with Hall effect technology. • Hall Effect joysticks and triggers: The Revolution 5 Pro uses magnetic sensors instead of traditional potentiometers, eliminating the dreaded jittery movement for years to come. • Modular design: This controller is all about customization. You can swap the thumb sticks, D-pad, trigger block, and even add weights that allow for extensive customization to suit your preferences and game types. • Premium build quality: The Revolution 5 Pro feels solid and well-made, with a comfortable, grippy texture and some added weight adds a bit more heft. The buttons and triggers are responsive also have a premium feel to them and are oddly satisfying to press. • Battery Life and Usage: The controller boasts a 10-hour battery life. Unfortunately, I was not able to game that long to test out how long it actually last, but I did play for about 4 to 5 hours with no issues at all. The controller also has a light bar display to show your battery status. The controller can be used via provided USB Plug-in adapter for wireless usage or can be used with the USB cable. • Direct Bluetooth headphone pairing: Connect your headset directly to the controller for a cleaner setup and reduced audio latency. • Mappable buttons: Four additional back buttons on the back and grips offer more control options and potential gameplay advantages. Weakness: • Frist of all, as I had mentioned before, no quick start guide and the included guide is very limited, so you will have to experiment on your own to figure everything out. • Button Placement: Even though I like having the extra mappable buttons, I did not like their placement, especially the two on the lower part of the grip. On multiple occasions I accidently pressed the button a couple of time which ended up getting me killed, which is not a big deal for me but for a competitive gamer that can be detrimental. • Software: The software for programming the rear buttons and other settings is not the most user-friendly and feels clunky. • Haptic Feedback: No Haptic feedback on PS5 games. The Nacon Revolution 5 Pro is a top-quality controller with excellent performance and unparalleled customization options. Its Hall Effect technology, low-latency wireless, and modular design offer undeniable advantages. If you prioritize precision, responsiveness, and control, the Revolution 5 Pro is definitely a must have.

Worst controller I’ve ever owned. Buttons smear off after a few weeks, battery life is less than 4 hours. Trigger stops stop working and need to be removed after 3 months. Profiles on the controller start to malfunction and change by itself. Also the software to bind the paddles was horrible. Terrible controller

--- SETUP --- The Nacon - Revolution 5 Pro Wireless Controller is quick to set up. A dongle is included that must be plugged into the front USB port of the PS5 (recommended) or a USB hub on your PC. After plugging it in, pair it with Bluetooth and you may begin to use it right away. --- FEATURES --- Rechargeable battery, USB-C port, wireless or wired, different weight options, rumble features (only for PS4 and PC) --- PERFORMANCE AND EXPECTATIONS --- As far as comfort goes, this controller’s girth feels good in your hands. If you need it to be heavier, you can add 3 sets of weights to each side of the handles to make it heavier. By default, the weights are not installed, so you can tell the difference in weight. I like mine weighty, so I added all small weights included. I first connected my controller to my gaming PC. There, I have been playing Alan Wake and Cyberpunk 2077. On PC, Cyberpunk launched from Steam and played well without any issues. For Alan Wake, I had to trick my PC into thinking I was running Steam before I could get it to work properly. Once done, though, I was able to enjoy, and even beat Alan Wake with this controller. I then took the controller over to my PS5. The controller itself has a switch that you need to change to when you are going to use it on a PS5. Sony doesn’t allow third party controllers to use the vibration or haptic feedback on PS5, so once you plug it in, be aware that these features won’t work. Though the controller performed well playing with the PS5, the lack of haptic feedback and rumble is very noticeable during gameplay, especially if you’ve been playing with these features for several years. As far as mapping buttons, the controller has a multi-function button. Pressing and holding it allows you to access some additional features. Here is where, for me, things feel unnecessarily complicated. The controller has extra buttons on the bottom. This doesn’t mean you have access to more buttons, it just means that you can map traditional buttons (like X, square, O, triangle) to the bottom so that you don’t have to lift your thumb off the joysticks. To do this, you need to hold the multi-function button for 3 seconds. Once you have done so, press a button from the bottom of the controller once. Then, press the button that you want to double up on once. 3 blinking lights will confirm that you have mapped the button correctly. Repeat the process until you have mapped all buttons that you want. The problem is, if you forget what button you mapped where, it is hard to easily see that. An app on PS5 that showed you what you have mapped where would have been preferable. The same procedure can be followed for choosing various profile setups and even for audio customization. The instructions for how to map the buttons were found in a YouTube video from Nacon itself. I couldn’t find any way to do this out of the box in any of the documentation. --- APPROVAL --- Though this is a great controller for PC, the confusing customization and the lack of haptic feedback and rumble support for the PS5 make this a product recommendable only for PC gaming.

Not for a casual gamer but great if you learn how to use it properly. This controller will do anything you need from a regular controller and much more.

I really like that it has customizable paddles on the back and that it comes with extra joysticks and also a mic adapter.

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.

To easy to between classic and advanced button during game play. Buttons are in a bad position. I wouldn't recommend this to a friend

Excellent control, comes with accessories that is very easy to customize.
