This may sound strange, but I don't use my favorite PS5 controller much on my PlayStation 5. That's because the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro also works with my gaming PC, so I am I use my favorite peripheral every day… but not always on Sony's console (mainly because I'm a PC gamer first and foremost). Whether you're a PC or PS5 gamer, there's good news: the Pro just got a big price drop.
Right now, the The Nacon Revolution 5 Pro controller is on sale for $149 on AmazonThis is the lowest price I've ever seen for my current favorite controller. The regular list price for Nacon's peripheral is $199, which means you can save a more than respectable $50 if you take advantage of this deal. It's worth noting, however, that this current discount only applies to the Triple Black version, not the Black and White model.
At this point, you might be wondering why you should pay $149 for a pad that, even on sale, still costs double the price of the PlayStation DualSense controller, right? After all, Sony's official wireless controller usually costs $69. My answer to that is simple: you get a lot more customization options with the Revolution Pro that can make both best ps5 games and the best pc games more fun to play.
The Pro's four remappable hotkey buttons can come in very handy in games like Elden Tree: The Shadow of the Tree of ErdIn my experience. With a DualSense, the constant juggling between the Circle and X buttons can feel slightly awkward. Never more so than when you’re regularly trying to jump and dodge one of the open-world wonder’s many difficult bosses. I know that the Revolution Pro’s rear inputs have definitely saved my ass in those split-second life-or-death moments against FromSoftware’s most powerful foes.
Hall effect magnetic technology also ensures that Nacon's premium controller is much less prone to the dreaded drift effect that can sometimes be an issue on Sony's controller after heavy use. Add to that a nice-feeling D-Pad, interchangeable weights and joystick heads and the Revolution Pro starts to justify its price more and more.
While it doesn't work wirelessly on PC, I can pair it to my computer with a USB-C cable, mainly because I love its big buttons and extremely solid sticks. The fact that it also has a dedicated desktop app that lets you save custom profiles while also letting you play with the RGB lighting that surrounds the right stick is something I really appreciate.
So if you're looking for a high-end controller with significantly better battery life than Sony's expensive controller, DualSense EdgeI highly recommend this officially endorsed third party controller. Honestly, it's one of my all time favorite controllers.
