But then include the four rear mounted buttons too and you’re getting into Elite controller territory. The feel of the bumpers and triggers (whilst unfortunately not textured) is great, with a nice flow from the former into the latter. That’s no biggy really though, it’s not like you’re reaching for the Nexus in the heat of battle and so Nacon can easily be let off the hook on this.Īnd they can be let off the hook because the rest of the Revolution X is brilliant. In fact, the buttons here on this thing are well laid out with the thumbsticks and D-Pad, bumpers and triggers all very familiar.

It’s not exactly the same in proportions, but it’s close enough for you to not need worry about feel, comfort and button placement. All black in design and style, this is a third party option that is pretty close to the standard official controller that comes out of Microsoft HQ.

If you can handle a cable, you’re probably going to like what Nacon have done with the rest of the Revolution X Pro Controller – Designed for Xbox. It’s detachable too for ease of carry and when you include the fact that this controller comes with its own little carry case, with space for the controller, the cable and some other bits and bobs, there’s pretty much nothing stopping you from getting your game on.

Thankfully Nacon seem to understand this and whilst not able to provide a wireless controller, have ensured it comes with a 3 meter long cable (USB-A to USB-C) which totally powers the Revolution X. I don’t game at a desk all day, I have consoles scattered around the land and want something that can just connect and be done with, without the worry of needing to be within a certain distance of the console. In fact – personal case in point – I love the freedom that a standard wireless Xbox controller brings. Now, I’m getting that in here and out of the way as soon as I can because for many that’s going to be a deal breaker. The Nacon Revolution X Pro Controller is available now for £99.Priced very competitively (you’re looking at just shy of £100 for this highly customisable product), the Revolution X Pro Controller is a fully wired option. The attention to detail Nacon has shown clearly that they have listened to gamers and used this information to create one of the best Xbox controllers currently available, all while keeping to a reasonable price.

However, some users will be put off by the use of a cable which is a shame as the combination of being able to modify the controller physically or through software make it a compelling choice, especially for those serious about online gaming. It features an impressive amount of customisation as well as a clean, comfortable, ergonomic design, while the build quality could be a little more solid it gets so much right for the price. The Nacon Revolution X Pro Controller is the culmination of the best of Nacon’s previous models but upgraded and adapted for Xbox. To address the elephant in the room, yes this is a cabled controller which may put some users off, however, the advantages are no issues with batteries or charging as well as faster response times due to their low 4ms latency which is the lowest possible on Xbox.Īnother new feature is the addition of Dolby Atmos via the separate dedicated MCU audio chip which incorporates improvements like echo and noise cancellation making you sound clearer than before. The Revolution X software offers extensive customisation options
