PlayStationtook a giant leap forward on the controller front when it launched thePS5, introducing the world to theDualSense. However, as innovative as the DualSense is, it’s not for everyone, nor is it perfect. You might prefer a controller that does certain things a little differently, or one that arguably does certain things better than the DualSense does. There are options out there, and joining those options on June 08, 2025, will be the Revolution 5 Pro.
Created by Nacon, and officially licensed by PlayStation, the Revolution Pro 5 isn’t the first controller in this particular series, as its name suggests. It has been in the works for a number of years though and improves on Nacon’s last Pro controller in a number of ways. Most notably the battery life. Boasting up to ten hours, not only is the amount of time you’re able to use the new controller a significant step up on its predecessor, but it’s also an improvement in an area where the DualSense is heavily criticized.
The Revolution Pro 5 also comes with a three-meter cable, so if you ever find yourself low on battery, you can be tethered to your console without having to sit right in front of your TV. The biggest appeal of the controller though is its customization options. The Pro 5 comes with three sets of stick sizes and stick heads, and even various weights so you can quite literally alter how heavy the controller is depending on your own preference.
