NACON Revolution 5 Pro Officially Licensed PlayStation Wireless Gaming Controller for PS5 / PS4 / PC - Hall Effect, Trigger Stops, Mappable Buttons, Bluetooth Audio - White

Works great much better than the factory controller. Needs the app to use the extra buttons but well worth it

I have long favored Xbox largely due to the much more comfortable controller. The symmetrical stick positioning of Playstation controllers (which results in asymmetrical thumb position) is a disaster for my tendonitis. Now I can play Playstation games just as comfortably as Xbox games.I ended up purchasing the Xbox Nacon Revolution controller as well, and I consider it an improvement over the base Xbox controller. The rear buttons are excellent (I usually map them to sprint, as sprinting in games also often flares my tendonitis). One difference is that the Xbox controller will turn on the console, but this one does not turn on the PS5. But it is worth it to finally have a comfortable PS5 controller.

The design/layout of the controller itself is really awesome and I loved it for the first week. Worked flawlessly. Which is why I was so upset when it started randomly disconnecting from my system while playing a game. Now I can’t make more than a few mins without it disconnecting itself. Apparently it’s a common issue with these controllers. Wish I would’ve read more into it before buying 🤦🏻‍♂️

TL;DR: bought for PS5•Feels like playing with an Xbox controller (which is loved)•A lot of customization options on controller itself, but not through Playstation settings•Extra buttons that feel as though they can be beneficial for more control-demanding games (looking at you, Elite: Dangerous)•Minimalistic light bars around controller as well to give clues as to what you've given it (I.e. the sides of the touch pad glow red to show you've muted yourself)•Loose feeling sticks, but haven't had stick drift problems•Taller sticks make it feel more precise, downside is need to have longer motion for faster movement•It HAS to take up a USB-A slot (down side for me, personally)4/5, feels like a controller on steroids that needs a bit of space as well.Long Version:I've always said, Xbox has the ergonomics, Playstation has the innovation. This combines both and then some with how the setup can be done from the weight of the sticks themselves, to the button layout for more intuitive games out there. I've yet to have seen a controller have little short-stoppers built within so triggers can be half squeezed. But this is my first type of higher-end controller so take that with inexperience.It can work in both wired and wireless. The only downside to that, is both have to be plugged into the USB-A port because Playstation will not recognize the controller itself. The wireless part comes into action with a USB stick. This is a downside for me only because I had a microphone plugged in there.'Why not use your headset one?'Well 1, thanks for assuming I have a headset. You're right, I do, but the mic wasn't all that great. And 2, the microphone plugged into the USB-A sounded a lot better, thank you.I play in a dark room so the controller tends to be rather bright. When first activated, the light up ring on the right stick will be rather bright. I tried to go into settings to turn it low on the Playstation menu, but thats when I realized it doesn't notice the controller at all. So now I have the ring as a red color to be less intrusive on the eyes (flick a switch in the front of the controller for that to happen)I haven't ran into stick drift problems so far. And the way the sticks feel with their height is actually rather nice, and may take a moment to get use to. When first starting to play out a game, I've notice how slow the character can turn with some precision I haven't really noticed before. Yet when fully flicking to the left brings it back to whatever sensitivity setting you gave it before hand, which can make some situations feel awkward at first the reason being that you'll have to find that sweet spot of not moving the stick to little, nor too much.Buttons are also a lot closer. Another thing to get a bit use to because there's a chance of pushing two at the same time. Or even one of the buttons on the handles of the controller as well. Which can be funny at times because here I am attempting to pull out another weapon and as I push one button to do so, I grip the controller a bit too much, press the handle button, and make my character jump as well.It's small things that you'll have to get use to which will happen over time. Worth the money? Hell yeah.Why 4's if it's so good? Because it has to have its own support to be recognized by the console instead of just connecting like how all the other wireless controllers Sony makes do. I remember being able to push the PS button on the controller and the console turns on. It became a big habit, now I gotta go to the PS console itself to turn it on, and then the controller. But with how nice this thing feels? I'll take it.

If you came from Xbox to PS5 and you want that Xbox controller back you’re in luck! This is a nice controller that’s very similar to the Xbox controller, it is easy to map and use with a short YouTube tutorial. Over all this is a great product so far!

This controller is more ergonomic and comfortable to use. Works good with my ps5.

The controller is great. There is no mobile app. No app on the ps5. And the Mac version of the app just won’t let you open it. Then when you bootcamp your Mac to run windows that app gives you internal server connection issues.Build quality is holding up well in the face of a lot of playtime. The Hall effect sticks feel a little weird, like the tension of them has a built in exponential response curve but I’ve gotten used to it. The back buttons are good. Idk. I’ve tried a bunch of different pro controllers. This one is like the Toyota Camry of them. It could use improvements but the core features are there and they work reliably.The software bit, the inability to turn the console on with the remote, the need to flip a switch and use a dongle for Bluetooth mode. Those little things are incredibly annoying for a supposedly officially best buddies with Sony type deal.Third party mod controllers do that stuff better, they just don’t have the manufacturing resources to make quality hardware.

This is worth it, I used this first for a couple of weeks before I make a comment, it didn't disappoint me. 100% satisfied.
