The Nacon Revolution 5 pro wireless controller is turly a work of art. I am not sure what a person would want a controller to do, that this one doesn't. The Nacon comes packaged very well. When you open it up, you find the controller, USB cord and a box of accessories. The accessory box was really intriguing to me since I havn't had a new controller anything like this one before. When you take it all out of its nice storage case, you find that this controller has programmible buttons everywhere. Not only are there multiple buttons that you can taylor to your game, but there is a D-pad built into the top of the controller. If you want to be immersed in sound you can even bluetooth your favorite earbuds to the controller to play inside the sound. Inside that little box that came with the controller are different thumbstick heads that let you change the size and the feel of the stick. There are also weights in the box that can be added to the controller to enhance the feel. Maybe the best part of the Nacon controller is the magnetic sensors that eliminate stick drift, which tends to be a problem on cheaper controllers. Like I said, I don't know how I can cover everything that this controller has to offer, but trust me, it can do a lot. There is a dedicated app that you use to program each button, there are trigger blockers to adjust trigger pull for different games, there are remappable shortcuts and so much more. This controller is also compatible with multiple gaming systems including PS4, PS5 and PC. Up your game with this new hightech controller.

This is a really good quality controller. The ability to customize the weight as well as the joysticks makes it really nice for a variety of games. The non-symmetric joysticks are great for anyone preferring the xbox style controller layout for their PS5. Works great for the pc too. The latency is really low, and the programmable buttons make it great for games from Street Fighter 6 to Baldur's Gate 3. Battery life is decent. I get 8 to 10 hours depending on the type of game. Really the only drawback is a Sony imposed ban on the rumble feedback on PS5 games. Works great on the PC side of things. It's a good size controller, and the case to keep everything together is fairly durable feeling. I can definitely see this lasting quite a while. I have a Xbox version of this controller I've had for a few years now and it's still in pristine condition, so I have high hopes for this as well. The plug-in microphone is a tad bit of an eyesore, but it works, and it doesn't really get in the way, so I cant complain too much. Overall, great "pro" controller.

The Nacon Revolution 5 Pro has been a total game changer for my play style and comfort! The controller fits into my hands perfectly, and stays cool even after hours of abuse from my button mashing prowess. The placement of the joysticks is great, and the fact that it comes with several different sizes to choose from is a definite win. I like using a taller stick on the right hand side and lower on the left. This makes the controller stay comfortable for hours on end for me. The battery life has been great, much better than the older controllers I have used in the past. The LED light around the joycon is an excellent asthetic touch too! The vibration is on point, and the back buttons make such a difference once you get used to them. Give it some time if you have never used them before, but you will absolutely never be able to go back to controllers without them after you become accustomed to it! I honestly have no down sides with the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro and I would highly recommend it for anyone on PS5 or PC!

Really nice controller - lots of options for setup.
Got this and really love the feel. I do like the tactile feel of the sticks and the thicker tops. They do include 3 setup knobs for the stick - concave, convex and then the nubbys. Also included are the stick rails that reduce the amount of travel on the sticks. Which for some games this is great for me! lol
overall I like that this has bluetooth and PC use along with PS5. Some functions are limited on the PS5 but hasn't affected my personal gameplay. manual states all function work on the PS4. Which is odd to me.
I love the case and the accessory box. It all fits nicely into a place and doesn't just stay on my desk.The case does "clip" the accessory box and ps receiver but the controller floats in the molding. Nice touch of having the clip on the exterior for carabiner and traveling.
There are some things that i don't like but doesn't perse affect the function or fit of the controller.
1. size - this seems a tad larger than the original - and a bit heavier. You even have weights to make it heavier!! I prefer lighter
2. this is a PS5 but has the d-pad and stick swapped like XBOX. I actually prefer this but i could see the issue with true PS5 mapping
3. Can't charge the controll while in the case and zipped up. You can place it in but not place for wire to go through.
4. adjustable setting for triggers is still a bit long on travel distance on the shortest setting.
Overall a very responsive controller with tons of config options for the back buttons. Feels good and has good sensation for grips. Tank of a controller. I expect this to be around for quite a while.

This is the first customizable controller that I have ever owned for any game system, I and have had quite a few game systems over the years! I must say that, if you have never dealt with one that has so many options, it is a bit overwhelming. Straight out of the box, you know this controller is not OEM! It comes with so many extra items to make the controller more to your liking than the standard controller. First of all, there are several more buttons, specifically on the bottom of the controller. This does take some getting used to. To really utilize the buttons, you have to download software on a computer and connect the controller to it. This allows you to map the specific action you want for those buttons. You can also save several profiles to the controller and swap between them based upon the game you are playing. The triggers on the controller are also customizable. If you do not like a longer trigger pull, you can slide a switch and shorten the pull. I like the lights on the controller. It gives it a cool look! It is also nice that the controller can be used for other gaming options, not just the PS5. It comes with a wireless dongle that so you can use the controller to play hard wired or wirelessly. It also comes with additional weights to change the weight of the controller. The joysticks are also customizable. I do like the carrying case and extra long USB C cable that comes with it. You can also connect bluetooth headsets to the controller for a wireless audio experience. One downside to this controller is that on the PS5, the vibration function does not work. Apparently that is something Sony would not let them have access to. All in all, this is a nice controller, but it is my opinion that it is a bit much for the average, every day gamer. The inconvenience of having to connect it to a computer just to customize it is aggravating. I would like to see an app on my smartphone instead.

This is a great controller.
Before I can use it I had to charge it. Once it was charged, the tricky part was getting it to connect via the USB adapter.
I did read the instructions, but it was very difficult to see what the switches were for on the back of the controller. Besides swithing between wired and wireless, I had to set another switch to the PS4 marker. These things were very difficult to see, I had to get a very bright to see everything. Once those were set, connecting to the bluetooth adapter was easy.
I tested this controller out by playing God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla. At first the controller felt weird compared to my other controllers, but after awhile it felt smooth and responsive.
The two things I need to do is try the different weights to see which one I prefer. I also want to see if I can connect this controller directly to the playstation via bluetooth without the bluetooth adapter.
Even though I had some minor setup issues, I'm still giving this controller five stars. This is now my main gaming controller.

Buttons smear off after 3 weeks, triggers stop working after 2 months. Runs on xbox drivers if you plan to use it on pc and its overall not built well. Would not recommend at all. The half trigger buttons break after 1 kontj which requires removing if you dont have warranty. The app to remap is awful, the touchpad only works on ps5 consoles and not on pc as it has xbox drivers and the xbox controller does not have a touchpad. I took care of it only for it to have its own underlying issues. A licensed pro ps5 controller running on xbox drivers was a killer for me. Pc will only recognize it by default as a xbox controller. DSX nor DS4 works on it because of the xbox drivers. For $200 you’d expect a controller meant for ps5 to be made properly and function like a ps5 controller. Stick with the edge, its the best on the market…

It turned out to be a great controller, after you go on line and get it set up.!

I wanted to love it, but there are two important things they don't tell you. Even though the box looks like a Sony package and touts the name, it is not supported beyond a third-party device.
1. It doesnt support rumble or heptic feedback on PS5.
2. It doesnt support bluetooth on PS5 and has to be connected with a dongle. This means another supported controller is needed to boot up the PS5, then you can use this one.
If they would have fixed those teo things, I would have happily kept it for 200 bucks. But I'd only pay 50 bucks as it is now. Just not worth it for a barely supported third-party device. Could have been great though.

The controller feels great for me, i have large hands. I liked everything about the controller but it got drift in 2 days, biggest reason i got it was for the hall effect thinking it would last me at least a year
