There are only a few officially licensed, third-party controllers for PS5, and all of them are designed to compete with the DualSense Edge. This means they carry prices in the $200 ballpark, but today you can get one of those pricey wireless controllers for a massive discount. Normally $200, the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro for PS5, PS4, and PC is available for only $130 until tonight, November 8, at 10 PM PT / 1 AM ET. Only the white/black model, which matches the PS5 and the default DualSense controller, is eligible for this deal; the all-black edition is listed at full price. This is the opposite of what Best Buy offered during its gaming sale last month: The black version was $150, while the white/black edition was $180.
Nacon Revolution 5 Pro Wireless Controller for PS5
$130 (was $200)
There is some great technology under the hood of the Revolution 5 Pro. It has Hall Effect joysticks to help keep stick drift at bay, trigger-locks to decrease the travel distance on each pull, four customizable Omron microswitch back paddles, interchangeable weights, and several swappable thumbsticks. Interestingly, the D-Pad on this controller was created in partnership with professional fighting game player Mister Crimson, so if you’re a Street Fighter 6 or Mortal Kombat 1 player, you might want to check this out. If the exotic design doesn’t appeal to you, you can swap it out for a more traditional D-pad.
For compatibility, the Revolution 5 Pro works wirelessly on PS5, PS4, and PC. It has up to 10 hours of battery life from a full charge, and if you’re running low on juice, you can switch to a wired mode using the included USB-C to USB-A cable.
The controller and all of its swappable components are stored inside the included. hardshell carrying case
