In the three years following the PlayStation 5's launch, many «pro» controllers have entered the market, including Sony's own DualSense Edge, and Nacon has now entered the fray with the Revolution 5 Pro. Nacon has a long history with officially licensed PlayStation controllers, and while this is a step up from its predecessors with the features that are included, there are some noticeable omissions that may baffle those who are already accustomed to the standard PlayStation 5 DualSense controller.
One thing that may take some long-term PlayStation players some time to get used to is that the Revolution 5 Pro has an offset, asymmetrical stick layout that Xbox players will already be comfortable with but may be a controversial choice for long-term PlayStation fans who prefer the side-by-side layout. Nacon had previously released several controllers with the default PlayStation stick layout for the PlayStation 4, but seeing as all of Nacon's pro controllers across both PlayStation and Xbox have an asymmetrical stick design, this shouldn't come as a surprise to those who have followed the company's previous releases.
One major selling point for the Revolution 5 Pro controller is how customizable it is. A whole box of interchangeable parts is included in a neat nook of the travel case, along with a cleaning cloth and an extremely reasonable 3-meter-long USB-A to USB-C charging cable rather than the 1-meter or 500-centimeter cables that come with most controllers, including Sony's DualSense, ensuring that players can quickly swap from its wireless dongle to a wired connection without having to sit extremely close to their controller.
A single charge provides approximately 10 hours of battery life, which is significantly more than the DualSense Edge's five or six hours.
The inclusion of interchangeable weights is also an interesting one, albeit a feature I found myself less bothered with using. While at a maximum weight of 16g in each controller grip, they won't exactly replace a gym membership, this slight shift could make for a more comfortable play session after some experimentation, depending on how players hold the controller. However, I found myself not using these as much as the default weight seemed to suit me just fine, so whether someone will use these will largely come down to personal preference.
Everything included with the Revolution 5 Pro controller is as follows:
While a Quick Start guide and various health and safety and warranty booklets are included, surprisingly, the full manual that walks players through how to swap out these parts isn't, and is only available online on the Nacon website.
The Revolution 5 Pro controller comes with a variety of different types of stick options that

Carl Pei's Nothing has taken the world of technology by storm, establishing its foothold in a market that is usually dominated by heavyweights such as Samsung, Apple and others. One of the ways the tech startup has done that is by adopting a quirky, transparent design strategy that has stood out in a world of mundane and honestly repeated offerings which all look the same, with a few differences here and there. But it isn't the first company attempting to do so. HTC gave it a try with its quirky Android smartphones, and so did Nokia with its Windows-powered Lumia series. There were even attempts by Blackberry too to break this smartphone duopoly, but none of them managed to do it quite as well as Nothing. Thus, Nothing's products, such as the Phone 2a and the Ear 2 have stood out and have been highly appreciated by the tech community, even though they might not be the best in the business. This has been the company's strategy, with no intention of taking on the tech giants…until now.
