TL;DR

The Nacon Revolution 5 Unlimited features TMR thumbsticks and an LCD screen, but Sony's restrictions prevent it from using vibration or adaptive triggers on PS5.

The Nacon Revolution 5 Unlimited is a $229.99 controller that features magnetic TMR thumbsticks, an LCD screen, and seven remappable shortcut buttons. It weighs 327 grams and offers approximately 10 hours of wireless battery life. The package includes a travel case, six swappable stick heads, four shaft rings, six grip weights, two swappable D-pads, and a three-meter braided cable.

Because Sony restricts third-party accessories, the controller lacks adaptive triggers, haptics, an internal speaker, and a microphone when used on PS5. Vibration is also disabled in native PS5 games. To use the controller on PS5, players must use the included 2.4 GHz USB dongle or a wired USB-C cable, as it cannot pair via Bluetooth. The built-in Bluetooth only works for PC, mobile devices, or wireless earbuds. Additionally, the PlayStation button cannot wake a PS5 from Rest Mode.

On PC, the controller supports full vibration and a 1000 Hz wired polling rate. The onboard LCD screen replaces the standard touchpad, which may affect games that require directional swipes. Users must use the mobile-only R5U Navigator app to manage RGB lighting, button mapping, and stick curves. The USB-C port is recessed, which may prevent many third-party cables from fitting.
