Nacon Revolution Pro Controller 2

I wouldn't usually write a review on a controller that I have been using for a month now, but I just have to put it out there that this is an exceptionally good controller. I have been a loyal Scuf consumer, but within 2 years had to purchase 2 Scuf Impact (PS4) controllers as the first one broke within 5 months and the second broke within 2 months with major thumb-stick problems such as drift movement. Even after sending it back to Scuf for a repair it didn't resolved the problem. So I took a huge risk on this controller, it took some time getting use to the left thumb-stick approx 2 weeks of gameplay (mainly playing Destiny 2, Fortnite and COD), but since getting use to the left thumb-stick location I could never return to a standard ps4 controller thumb-stick locations, its amazing just how comfortable it is once you get use to it. The Nacon Pro 2 controller is out of this world regards what you can do with it's button mapping customisation options and the userface of the software (for me on Mac) was exceptionally good and easy to use. The overall feel and build quality of the controller is solid, very robust and feels very comfortable in your hands with (plus I have very large hands) with a soft touch finish for very good grip. The underneath buttons are very comfortable and take very little finger muscle memory to use them, they are so neatly positioned directly where your fingers sit. Only gripe would be that it is wired and in some ways it would be better it was a fixed wire instead of a detachable wire, or better a wireless version of the controller, but that being said it is plenty long and you know your controller is always switched on. Overall a very good quality controller which I hope will bring me a solid 12 months of good use, if not longer, at half the price of scuf which their build quality in comparing is nothing compared to this Pro 2 Controller, if this controller lives up to it's use so far I will now be a loyal Nacon consumer. Highly Recommend to all PVP gamers out there, once you train yourself to get use to it, you won't look back! Additional comments: Thank you to Staraxe UK for providing stock and a great price of this controller and for Amazon with their superb purchasing experience - as always.

Not very goof

The controller was excellent, I really liked the weight of it and the big buttons it had. Also, I always preferred the xbox controller's joystick placement than the ps4's so this controller was perfect for me. Unfortunately, the R1 button stopped working about 1 year after I bought it, but I re-mapped it to the back buttons so that was ok. But I also have a problem with the headset jack on it, it stopped working about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Overall the controller was good but it broke fast

For all intents and purposes, buying this controller was a serious risk, and to be honest, I only really did it on the basis that I didn't mind losing the £90 or so that it cost. The thoroughly mixed reviews, with blanket statements like "it doesn't work" and "it's a waste of money" were a worry, as was the general 'high end' gaming controller market - I've heard more complaints about Scuf support and hardware quality than I can shake a stick at. As someone that isn't really much of a 'hardcore FPS player', this purchase was about getting something comfortable that had all the buttons configured in such a way along the grips, as well as certain other things that drove me mad about the stock PS4 controllers such as requiring charging every bloody seven seconds. They're flimsy too, and I feel like Lou Ferrigno while holding them. This thing is meaty (it's roughly the same proportions and shape as the Xbox One controllers, which are perfect for me), and you can further augment this density by adding small fit-for-purpose weights to the controller grips. This has far more of a noticeable benefit than it might seem. It's also wired, with a robust braided cable that is beginning to fray a little bit in certain areas but has held up remarkably well otherwise. The custom buttons are superb, they have faced up to heavy use on games like Destiny 2 and Fallout 4. The accompanying app, which requires 2-minute setup on your PC, is a bit untidy and a bit garish but this is essentially too minor to worry about. The Nacon website hosts user-submitted 'profiles' for most games, and other users vote the best ones to the top. I haven't actually needed to configure one myself, the top-rated Destiny 2 one was perfect. Every single button is configurable, down to extreme micro-management of the buttons and sticks (sensitivity, which you can override with most games, and things like stick dead zone - Google it). Even the backlight colour on the thumbstick. If there is absolutely any latency at all, it isn't noticeable. The buttons respond identically to how they did on the first day, after what's estimated is hundreds of hours of use. I'm going to wear this into the ground and buy a new one. Nacon has a steady customer in me for now, I am not prepared to even consider an alternative at this point in time. Pros: - Durability, lifespan - Shape, profile and weight - Good quality of support - Extensive button mapping profile library - Extreme micro-management of the button and stick mapping - Wired - Customisation options - Overall value for money - Packaging (neat little carry pouch, if that's your thing) Cons: - The controller can't turn on the PS4 on its own (this is such a minor issue, all things considered) - The stick 'stalks' being steel make the controller a bit 'noisy' (again, a trade-off for improved durability and such a minor thing) - The level of detail involved in the app potentially risks creating a confusing UI for users Thanks for reading folks.

The controller itself seems decent, however, the cable doesn't quite fit properly at the controller end - so if you move slightly it disconnects! I believe this is down to the cable being faulty, not the controller as I tried a different cable and it's fine! However, Nacon's customer service is shocking!! The response I got was...'this is a type-c cable available in any computer store' basically mugging me off and telling me to buy a new cable myself! Needless to say I'm now returning the item as it's unusable. Basically if it doesn't go wrong, I think you will be okay - but if it does, don't expect it to be resolved with their customer support anytime soon! I need to mention that Amazon customer support have been great dealing with the above.

Almost perfect! I prefer the feel and layout of XBox controllers, and the flexibility of paddles that replicate the action buttons. I play mostly Destiny 2 (who am I kidding, I’ve not played anything else for years…), so being able to jump or slide without taking thumbs off the thumbsticks is really useful. Only thing is that I find it really difficult to reach the paddles underneath the controller. I don’t think my fingers are particularly stubby - I can use the XBox Pro controller without any problem - but they don’t sit comfortably under my fingers on the Nacom, which means I have to adjust my grip to use them. Sometimes that means the controller slips slightly as a result. There are only two paddles, which respond to both a pull and a push with your middle fingers, and I’m finding it easy to miss a push in the heat of the moment. The software to programme the controller - I downloaded the Mac version, which needed me to authenticate as the app isn’t certificated by Apple - isn’t very intuitive, and I couldn’t find instructions to swap between the four profiles you’re able to save, while using it. The USB-C connector seems reasonably secure - I’ve been using the controller for a few weeks without any issues. There is a warning not to wrap the cable around the controller for storage, while it’s plugged in - I guess this puts additional stress on the connector, which could lead to it gradually working loose. That was always the weak point of the XBox Pro controller - the micro-USB connector consistently worked its way loose over time on the three I’ve worked my way through, rendering it unusable. I haven’t used the additional weights to adjust the feel in the hand, but it’s nice to know I have that as a option if I ever do weights, and the controller starts feeling like a teeny tiny toy in my hands as a result. Overall, while there are some irritating shortcomings, it’s not bad. It’s a step up for the standard PS4 controller, but if they could sort out the paddle placement, or diameter of the grips, and the confusing app, it’d be pretty much perfect.

So I decided to take the plunge and buy this, I like the DS4 but the joysticks just aren't great in my opinion. Pros: - really comfortable feel - love the joysticks, left concaved is massive for me - triggers and buttons all feel good - customisation via the PC is excellent dead zones and trigger points Cons: - may take some getting used to if you're a PS person - price is a little high - wired - two back buttons take some getting used to. Overall worth the purchase and the cons are very minor to me.

I've gone through 2 of these controllers. I play a lot of racing and shooting games. Things that require you to hold the right trigger down for long amounts of time. Both of the controllers I have owned have, within 3 weeks begun to stick. after which there is no hope. Nacon's customer support is hands down the worst I've experienced in my life. I now have 2 very pretty but very much useless controllers on my shelf now. If you need to use the right trigger then DO NOT get this controller
