Nacon Revolution 5 Pro Controller Review،
THE Nacon Revolution 5 Pro is aimed at the high-end segment of gamepads. On paper, with its Hall effect components, a large amount of customization options, premium construction and other improvements are certainly promising, but how does it fare? does it in real tests? This is my opinion.
No drift here
One of the standout features of the Revolution 5 Pro is the Hall Effect technology integrated into the triggers and sticks. This technology significantly reduces the risk of “stick drift” and premature wear, a common problem in standard controllers.
Choose your components
With over 60 customization options, including interchangeable sticks, weights and D-pads, the Revolution 5 Pro stands out for its adaptability. The customization app, available for PC/Mac and soon for mobile, allows users to tailor the controller to their specific gaming style. Ergonomic shortcuts and trigger blockers add additional levels of customization, meeting the diverse needs of professional gamers.
He has the stamina
The controller offers over 10 hours of battery life, ensuring uninterrupted gaming sessions. With standard DualSense controllers often criticized for short battery life, it’s refreshing to use the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro for marathon gaming sessions without any battery anxiety weighing you down.
Limitations of the PS5
The premium materials used in its construction help improve comfort and grip, highlighting Nacon’s attention to quality and detail. The inclusion of vibration motors, while limited to PC and PS4 games, adds a layer of immersive feedback to the gaming experience. Those on PS5 will, however, notice the lack of haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
A little expensive
At $199.99, the Revolution 5 Pro is one of the more expensive options on the market. Given its shortcomings, particularly in terms of PS5 compatibility and the complexity of its customization options, its quality/price ratio is questionable, especially for occasional players or those playing mainly on PS5.
Final verdict
The Nacon Revolution 5 Pro is a formidable contender with its innovative Hall effect technology, extensive customization options, and sturdy build quality. While it doesn’t take full advantage of the PS5’s unique features, its versatility and performance on other platforms, coupled with its focus on durability and ergonomics, make it an interesting choice for those who are looking for a high-end, customizable gamepad.
