NACON, a globally competitive video game publisher and designer of premium gaming accessories have just recently announced their brand new officially licensed PlayStation 5 controller. Enter the Revolution 5 Pro! You can check out the reveal trailer below along with the official press release statement. Interestingly, the Revolution 5 Pro is compatible with both the PS4 and PC too which is a huge selling point if you game across multiple devices.
The Revolution 5 Pro is the result of years of research as well as constant discussion with players and professional gamers about previous NACON controllers. The result is a unique controller for players in terms of design, ergonomics, comfort, precision and technical innovation. Among the new features is Hall Effect technology which allows for greater precision, with the joysticks and triggers, as well as a very long service life. The entire controller has also been designed with environmental responsibility in mind. The ability to repair and replace key components was a prerequisite during the initial design phase.
Compatible with PS5, PS4 and PC*, used wired or wireless, the officially licensed Revolution 5 Pro is the perfect ally for competitive gamers who require high performance. As well as being fully customizable to suit every player, the controller can be used more than 10 hours before recharging. An additional benefit for gamers is that it connects to wireless headphones via Bluetooth as well as wired headsets via the included 3.5mm jack.
The Revolution 5 Pro from NACON will be available in December 2023 at leading U.S. retailers for MSRP $199.99. Pre orders available starting November at Best Buy and GameStop.
“This new model in the Revolution line is the culmination of years of development and NACON’s passion for gaming. We wanted to create the best controller possible, a controller that would give gamers the upper hand. The Revolution 5 Pro combines the best of our expertise, technological innovation and ergonomics,” said Yannick Allaert, Head of Accessories Division at NACON. “I want to thank Sony Interactive Entertainment, our long-time partner, who has enabled us to develop this product in the best way possible.”
NACON have sold over 6 million PS4 controllers and 1.6 million NACON Pro controllers since 2016 and having used their controllers ourselves too, we certainly cannot wait to get our hands on the new one! It looks fantastic and we’re hoping it lives up to its promises.
