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 this weekend, one of those $200 controllers is on sale for $150: the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro for PS5, PS4, and PC. As part of Best Buy’s Gaming Sale, you can get the Revolution 5 Pro in black for its lowest price ever. The white version is on sale as well, but it’s priced higher at $180. It seems Amazon was briefly matching these deals but is now sold out of both color options. Best Buy’s Revolution 5 Pro deals are only available through Sunday, October 27.
Nacon Revolution 5 Pro PS5 and PC Controller
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 will work 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. It comes in two colors, white and black.
