Gaming peripheral manufacturer NACON has announced the Revolution 5 Unlimited (R5U), an officially licensed asymmetric controller for PlayStation 5 consoles and PC. Designed for competitive gaming, the new peripheral introduces integrated hardware adjustments via an onboard display and incorporates Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) magnetic sensor technology into NACON's product line for the first time.
Onboard Controls and Sensor Innovations
The Revolution 5 Unlimited features an onboard control screen, marking a first for an officially licensed PS5 controller according to NACON. The display allows players to make real-time adjustments directly on the device, including configuring joystick sensitivity, mapping shortcuts, altering audio mixing, and managing system settings without opening external menus during gameplay.
Internally, the controller relies on TMR magnetic technology to manage joystick movement. NACON reports that this addition improves overall hardware reliability and responsiveness while consuming less power. The peripheral also includes micro-switch action buttons, Trigger Blockers that toggle between traditional analog pulls and short clicks, and several remappable shortcut buttons.
Software Modes and Multi-Platform Support
To support competitive play, the controller features dedicated software functionality including a Shooter Pro Mode, which eliminates joystick dead zones to increase precision. The device offers triple connectivity for PS5, PC, and Android Smart TVs, along with a dedicated mobile application for iOS and Android to manage settings. In dedicated PC mode, NACON states the controller operates with a 1 ms latency and enables options such as gyroscopic control configuration.
The package comes with a set of accessories, a protective storage case, and a dedicated charging dock designed to charge and hold the controller. Pre-orders for the Revolution 5 Unlimited are available starting today via nacongaming.com at $229.99 / €199.99 / £179.99.
