Overview
- Nacon announced the Revolution 5 Unlimited on Friday as its second officially licensed PS5 pro controller and the first licensed model to include a built‑in control screen for on‑controller adjustments.
- The R5U is available to pre-order from NaconGaming at $229.99 / £179.99 / €199.99 and ships with a carrying case, dedicated charging dock, extra weights, alternate thumbstick tops and a wireless dongle.
- Hardware and software target competitive play with TMR (Tunneling Magnetoresistance) magnetic sticks, micro‑switch face buttons, Trigger Blockers that switch to an instant click, Shooter Pro Mode to remove dead zones, and triple connectivity for PS5, PC and Android TVs.
- Nacon omits DualSense‑specific features such as adaptive trigger resistance and Sony haptic feedback to meet licensing rules and instead offers vibration in PC mode plus mobile‑app configuration and a claimed ultra‑low 1ms PC latency mode.
- The release signals growing parity between PS5 third‑party pads and Xbox/PC controllers but raises questions for buyers because of a notable US/UK price gap and unanswered details about an exact ship date and a native PC desktop configuration app.
