THE NACON REVOLUTION 5 Pro gaming controller takes a lot of cues from the Microsoft Elite Series 2, both aesthetically and in terms of its key features. But among the two main console combatants, it's impor tant to consider Nacon's alignment with PlayStation, as opposed to Xbox, what with its Sony-exclusive features.
We use the word 'combatants' unironically, since Nacon specifically designed it with fighting games in mind. That doesn't stop it acing all kinds of games, though there are a few things that stand in the way of a deadly combo for the Nacon R5P.
The fact the Nacon is fighting Sony's corner is made clear with the central PlayStation logo on the home button, as well as the signature face buttons and touchpad. On the back, alongside more switches than the Millennium Falcon's control panel, sits the option to physically switch between PC, PS4, and PS5 modes. It's helpful if you swap between platforms a lot, but despite this easy switch and compatibility with Sony consoles, there's something missing here.
