Nonetheless, this is probably simply a matter of personal taste. While for many they may feel a bit flimsy compared to Sony’s controller, they never lose track of in-game precision, thus it’s simply a matter of getting used to this format. For us this was a sign that Nacon is doing all it can to ensure that potential buyers will immediately have the same features their original controller would give them, and then add in some more functions.Įven though the device itself feels very solid and sturdy, it’s noticeable that the sticks have a very low resistance to them. The latter is never incorporated on third party models, as they often aren’t properly licensed, try to press down the production costs or simply don’t care about it. From the get-go you’ll have a great controller at your disposal that has all the standard functionalities of the official controller, with the most important one being the touchpad. Many customization options (button mapping, deadzones for triggers and sticks, …)Īfter a bit of assembly (the cable) you’ll pretty much be good to go the moment you plug in your controller in your PlayStation 4, at least if you don’t need any of the extra functionalities (which we’ll discuss later).Nonetheless, some upkeep can do a lot, it’s just a small tedious task if you wish to keep this device clean. It’s rather annoying when your controller constantly has dirty fingerprints on it, without being able to properly wipe them off. Don’t get us wrong, this feels rather pleasant, but it gets dirty so easily and is rather hard to keep clean. Only one minor issue in the comfort department is the soft coating around the plastic. While for many the device will already be heavy enough without the added weight(s), it’s still nice to customize the device and find your ideal setup. You’ll be able to place two weights on each side, which will add a lot of difference to your gaming experience. In each of the grips there’s a removable compartment, which you can fill with the weights that come with the device. This will take some time getting used to, but eventually it becomes rather natural.įor gamers who would rather have something substantial in their hands, or are used to heavier gear, the Revolution allows for weighing the device down. You’ll also notice that the left stick is hollowed out, while the right stick has a ‘bulging’ shape, thus you’ll have two sticks that feel completely different. Even the extra buttons have ideal locations in easy to reach places, such as the back of the handles, which grants you very easy access. Perhaps only the bumpers and triggers will take some time getting used to, but they are perfectly placed nonetheless. Thanks to the rounder shape, the fairly lengthy handles and the button placement, the controller fits perfectly in your hands, be them large or small hands. Other than that, the controller has a slightly rounded shape, with a matte finish, which gives the device a slight rubbery appearance.Īs expected from a higher priced controller, comfort seems to be no issue for this device.

By opting to light only one of the sticks, the developers gave it a rather original touch, especially seeing it’s the one with the logo on it. The controller also has a few spiffy features, such as LED lighting all around the right stick, which creates a certain asymmetrical appearance we can’t help but love. Perhaps one of the device’s less notable features, but still worth mentioning: the Revolution’s D-Pad looks a bit like a four leaved clover, and this is truly a fun, original touch to a device such as this, instead of going for the same old D-Pad over and over again. The triggers however are an original touch by Nacon, albeit still a bit akin to the X1 controller. This is pretty much due to the placement of the two sticks, which is reminiscent of Microsoft’s device, while other features are more reminiscent of Sony’s controller, such as the usage of the PlayStation logo, the symbols on the buttons, the touchpad.

Nacon’s controller looks a bit like a hybrid of the Xbox One controller and the official PlayStation 4 controller. This time we reach for the stars, and try out Nacon’s Revolution Pro Controller, which finds itself in a higher price range, which made us wonder how ‘pro’ this controller would go. Nonetheless, these peripherals are often still cheaper than the official counterparts, but in many cases the original device still feels better, even if it’s only barely noticeable. No longer are many of said controllers ‘player 2’ material, clearly made out of cheap plastic, with horrible looking decals and of course, flimsy buttons. Third party controllers have been gaining popularity over the years as there’s a clear rise in quality compared to third party devices a decade ago.
