However, while I would have preferred concave on both, the smoother movement and greater angle is still a significant improvement on the right thumbstick as well. In particular, I greatly prefer the concave design of the left thumbstick for character movement though I do question why Nacon chose to go concave on the left but remain convex on the right. The thumbsticks are well positioned and have a much more precise movement due to the combination of the smoother action and the degree/angle at which they move (being taller gives a greater range of motion). With those complaints in mind, the Nacon doesn’t disappoint. Personally, I’ve never cared for the symmetrical layout and convex design of the PS4’s thumbsticks which is why I was so anxious to get my hands on the Revolution Pro.
Thumbsticks can make or break a controller especially for those who tend to play more competitive games.
Overall, the components used feel very well made and durable out of the gate. While the Revolution Pro initially feels light likely due to the lack of an internal battery, you have the option of weighting it as you desire with the enclosed weights which is a nice option. The face buttons demonstrate a similar level of improvement, with a more substantial engagement and solid feel to them than the standard controller. The triggers feel extremely well molded as do the shoulder buttons which respond with a very satisfying click when pressed.

The thumbsticks have a greater range of motion than the standard PS4 controller and have a very smooth, precise action which is immediately noticeable. The material used for the controller is smooth and feels to be of a higher quality than the plain, glossy plastic of cheaper controllers or even the standard PS4 gamepad. Upon first holding the Revolution Pro, I liked what I felt. It certainly gives a positive first impression with regard to being a high-end product.

While the controller is front and center, you will also find the 10 foot braided cable with securing cap, a key with 6 small weights, a travel bag and cleaning cloth, instructions on the PC software for custom coding the Nacon, and a sheet of Nacon stickers. The Revolution Pro certainly presents itself well upon first opening the package.
Thus, I’ve spent considerable time playing Nioh (high skill, fast inputs with thumbsticks and triggers), Rogue Legacy (fast inputs with dpad and face buttons), and Uncharted 4 multiplayer (fast camera and player movements while aiming) to put the Nacon through its paces. )As for reviewing the controller itself, I selected three games I believed would test all aspects of the Revolution Pro. Be aware however, it is available for order from overseas outlets and is 100% compatible (I’m in the US). I’ve reached out to Nacon to inquire as to when it will be available in the US but as of now, there is no release date. First, the controller is not available in the US officially as of this moment. Let me preface this review with a few notable pieces of information. Today, I’ll be giving you a detailed look at the Nacon Revolution Pro. Specifically for the PlayStation 4, there are two new options arriving on the market in the Razer Raiju and Nacon Revolution Pro. However, given the surprising success of the Xbox One Elite controller despite its $150 price tag (which was initially thought to be far too high), third party companies are beginning to offer more high end options to consumers. It’s rare for a third party effort to match that of official controllers and given the recent proprietary features built into the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 pads, it’s become even rarer. FYI, I have added a video review of the controller as of December 15th which you can find here:ĭiscussions around console controllers typically lead to an interesting conversation.
