NACON Revolution 5 Pro Officially Licensed PlayStation Wireless Gaming Controller for PS5 PS4 PC - Hall Effect Trigger

I only started looking at this controller again to see if I could get a second one since black is not a fun color. I purchased this controller when BF6 came out due to my dual sense controller crapping out on me. The controller is a little difficult to get into out of the box but if you have access to a computer or laptop it’s as simple as tinkering w it which makes it fun. I’m currently running different settings for BF6 than I would for a call of duty game, 2k or madden which makes it a fun controller. I did purchase used for $120 and I love it. Read more

I read some frightfully bad reviews online after i had already purchased this controller. But i have only good things to say about it! It works flawlessly! I dont have any deadzone issues in fps games or setup problems. It worked great right out of the box and after some configurations it is set up just the way i like it! The wireless and bluetooth works perfectly and i am very glad i got this controller it is leagues above the standard issue one that comes with playstation! Excellent price too! Read more

Updating review for another bad issue with this controller and how it charges. The company has set up so the plug is recessed and just millimeters too big to be able to use any other USBC you own. This is a disgusting business practice as it serves no other purpose other then to force you to buy USBC cords that are long enough to reach the recessed charging port. Normally there is a way around it by carving a bit of plastic on an existing USBC when companies try and do this but this company found a way to prevent that hack by burying the plug in into the controller itself too deep. Seriously adds to the tech waste issue and defeats the whole purpose of establishing USBC as the norm, companies who do this are just trying to skirt around regulations by technically having a USBC but still finding a way to make it proprietary by making the controller and their own plug just too long. A lot of reviewers said a app was supposed to be coming in 2024, well that didn't happen. Makes me nervous if the firmware needs updated in the future. It works and connects well out of the box but the lack of an app is super weird, especially since it does connect to the phone via bluetooth. So much tech can update over an app with bluetooth, why havnt this company implemented that? I use this for PS5 and it does work great out of the box and connects smoothly. Some features you're locked out of though unless you have a PC which left me a bit sour. I'll still keep it though, feels good in the hands, just hope it never needs updated as that will be a real hassle. Read more

📁Context: I use this with my PS5 via the usb dongle attached to a usb hub slotted into the front usb-c port. I would recommend this, as putting the usb-a dongle into the rear ports expose it to a lot of heat coming off the system, which causes connection problems. I go into the specifics below: ✅PROS: ⬆️Hall effect sensors are a big pro. After using the controller for about a year, not once have I had a hint of stick drift. As I would have bought 2 standard ps controllers so far due to drift, this thing is already saving me money. ⬆️Having both a usb-a dongle and cable support for play is nice. You can even have the controller charging while you play. ⬆️The remappable buttons are awesome and don’t require the pc software to set up if you don’t want to. Also, since there are only 4, I rarely hit the wrong one by accident. ⬆️Came with a nice travel case, weights, and quality of life accessories. You’d hope you would for 200, and these have held up well for me. 🟡MID/EXPECTED: ➡️The durability is as expected. Hasn’t broken yet, but I have not stress tested it in this regard. ➡️It fits well in the hand, and the addable weight allow expected modibilty. Trigger stops are awesome as well, but I am putting this here as it is as described. ➡️Buttons, bumpers, touchpad, and triggers are good quality as described. No mis-inputs or breaks after about 1 year. As expected and described. ❌CONS: ⬇️The wireless connection has had issues for me. Initially no problem, but I slotted it into the rear usb-a port and I fear the dongle suffered some heat damage from the port due to the PS5’s bad port placement next to the heat vents. Sometimes, it will disconnect and reconnect at random, but usually only once every 2-3 weeks, so I’m gonna say it is ‘uncommon’ here. ⚠️Sometimes, after reconnecting, you cannot input. To fix this, switch the controller to another console mode with the toggle, then back. This fixes it usually. ⬇️VERY slow to charge, taking about 5-6 hours for me for only about 8-10 hours of play time. While you can play while charging, the disconnection problems described above are more frequent when charging. Battery quality seems alright though. ✨SUMMARY: Honestly it is a very good controller and one of the few with Hall effect for the PS5. Some of the features are great, others as expected, but there are a few drawbacks. However, I would buy this again but most likely wait for a sale. Happy gaming lads, hope this helps! UPDATE: I have since bought a second one of these, and my rating stays the same. Notably, For PS5, under the conditions mentioned previously, these controllers are prone to disconnect mid gameplay when synced using the USB dongle on rare occasion, with the quick fix being to switch the controller off, and then on again. From what I can tell, this is due to the console thinking the controller is a PS4 one due to a software hiccup with the dongle and controller communicating. I have not been able to reproduce the issue when using a cabled connection. Read more
