Got this for my boyfriend and he hated it... he said holding it felt weird. you needed to download extra apps to program the additional back paddles and it was overall just not a good controller for him. If you're in the market for a good controller with paddles definitely look to Razor products.

This controller is a definite upgrade from cheaper controllers that tend to break. As soon as you open the box, you can tell that there is a difference in quality and this just has a nice feel to it.
Whats in the box: The controller, 12 foot braided cable, extra thumb pads, extra controller and stick weights.
Use: This is a highly customizable controller via the app on either the Xbox or PC. You can change a lot of things, from dead zones, curve, axis, vibration intensity and more, and then save up to 4 different profiles. The right thumb stick has a colored circle around it that you can correlate to one of the profiles so a quick glance you know what profile is loaded, and there is a button to quickly switch between the profiles. The included booklet was basic, but there are plenty of youtube videos out there that show you how to set up and get full "power" out of this controller. The RT and LT buttons are pressure sensitive, and the RB and LB buttons are not. You have the option to plug in headphones and unlock dolby atmos in the headphones, but I don't really use this as I use a home theater system for sound anyway. I'm not a fan of loud headphones, and dolby in headphones just doesn't sound as good to me as even a 5.1 surround system. This option is there for those that want it though.
Overall: I ended up not using any of the weights in the controller, as "stock" felt the best for me. I like that you can customize it though. This is a wired only controller, so be aware of that. It is plug and play, and you can use it right out of the box without setting anything up, but you can also go to town customizing it. This didn't get 5 stars because there are some random freezes that it has which need an unplug/plug in to get it working again. Doesn't happen often, but it has a couple times. The included carry case is nice. It is hard sided, and is compact enough to carry around, but large enough to where you don't have to jam the controller in.

Gives an edge in gaming

This controller connected to my Xbox seamlessly and downloading the Revolution X application allowed the four extra thumb controllers on the back to be programmed easily. The controller is slightly larger than the standard Xbox controller and will fit most adult hands well. I believe this may be too large for younger kids. The USB controller cord is plenty long enough. There is no rumble controller because the handles are hollow. This allows the insertion of one of three different weight sizes. I prefer the heaviest which is 16 grams. This allows a good balance against the slight tug of the controller cord's weight. The controller application has prefigured configurations based upon your play style, example FBS or sniper rifles, and this adjusts the sensitive of all controller inputs. The controller sticks are removable and two additional are included. The layout is the same on the front as the standard controller. I really like how the additional bottom buttons, on the back, are flat and do not protrude like most other controllers. It takes a while to get used to this layout, but once you do it is very comfortable and responsive. The trigger sensitive does not have a physical slider controller, but the application configurations allow adjustments. This is my primary controller I am using and it is giving an edge over the competition.

Fun, customizable controller

I’m not as much into gaming as I used to be since they started adding 37 buttons to a game controller, but this one is pretty fun. My kids are both Xboxer’s and I’m more Atari, but we have fun playing together.
This controller is very customizable from the different pressure pads, to the weights, buttons and colors. RIG is a brand that I am familiar with so I have every confidence that it will take the wear and tear that we put on it. I have several wired and wireless controllers and this one is probably about the best for a wired controller. It feels natural in my hands and the fact that I can add or remove weight, makes it more user friendly and lets me get the feel that I want for the game I’m playing.
There are literally buttons everywhere on this thing. You have your typical controls on the front and top of the controller, but there are also four buttons on the underside of it that you can customize as well. These are a bit awkward to use at first, but once I got the hang of it, they came in handy in several games.
If you like the functionality of being able to customize your controller and enhance your game play, this controller is pretty much the best there is in my opinion.

Excellent pro-grade controller with minor quirks

The Nacon Revolution X controller is my first experience with a "pro-grade" controller and it exceeded my expectations. I love the look and feel (especially with the 16 gram weights installed) and I really liked the included carrying/storage case.
As I do most of my gaming on PC, I found the Revolution X was immediately compatible out of the box with my Windows 11 gaming PCs. To customize the controller, you can download an app from the Microsoft store to change pretty much anything you want with the extra 4 buttons or the sensitivity of the controls. I have tried many different controllers over the years, and have until now mainly been using a first party Xbox One wireless controller for living room gaming and a wired Xbox 360 controller for my bonus room. The Rev X improves on the feel of either of those controllers and, being a wired controller, it has much better responsiveness than the wireless Xbox One controller I have. That extra 15-20ms really is noticeable when you have a TV or monitor that has VRR support and a low latency mode.
There were some minor quirks with the controller that I feel like I should call out: I had issues with it connecting to the USB ports on one of my laptops - it wouldn't turn on when connected to those ports for some reason. That's the primary reason I can't give it a full 5 stars. It also didn't work when connected to my Shield TV Pro (2019 model) - I thought this was pretty weird since it works perfectly as an Xbox controller on Windows. Since that's not an advertised compatibility, I am just mentioning it here but it didn't affect my rating. Also, not really enough of an issue to affect my rating, but the Windows app is clearly designed as "Xbox first" as it doesn't respond to keyboard and mouse input. Not a dealbreaker, but a quirk for sure.
Give the Revolution X a shot if you are wanting to move up to a premium/pro-grade controller and you are able to handle a 3 meter USB cable in your gaming room!

So far so good. Provides a better connection and hit scan compared to a wireless controller.
