🕹️ Nacon Revolution X Controller | GF Approved 🕹️ @Nacon @BrittRecluseuk

Here at GF HQ, several writers have covered Nacon’s products over the last year or so and all have been impressed with the build quality and design. I’m pleased to report that this high level continues with the Revolution X, a GF recommended way to take control of your game.

A wired controller that is compatible with Windows, Xbox One and Xbox S/X, the Revolution X isn’t shy when it comes to customisation, the level to which you can personalise the controller to suit your needs and playstyle is impressive and I certainly clicked with my choices pretty quickly, finding it an interesting comparison to the official XSX controllers, with each having their own personality.

Included in the box with the controller:

• Interchangeable stick tops (concave and convex) and bases to adjust stick height
• Interchangeable weights
• A solid carry case
• 3m cable

The customisation also allows you to set up four profiles, dependent on the games that you are playing. As well as button re-mapping (including the extra well-placed pro -S1, S2, S3 & S4 buttons on the rear of the controller) you can also adjust the level of trigger/stick response as well as the intensity of vibration.

The weights included come in pairs of 10g, 12, 14g and 16g – I prefer a weightier controller and so opted for the 16g weights, which sit pleasantly heavily in my hands. The automatic access for Dolby Atmos is welcomed, as is the ability to change the pulsing level and colour of the LED ring that surrounds the right thumbstick.

Setting up the controller is as simple or as complex as you want it to be. Nacon have provided selectable profiles if you want to dive right in, or you can flick over to the advanced mode and really spend some time tinkering with the sliders and pressure charts until you have created the perfect setup for your style.

In comparing this pro controller to the standard Xbox pad, it feels more robust and mechanical in the hands, as opposed to the slightly sleeker official controller. I prefer the chunkier feeling here and, whilst it doesn’t bother me – the fact that the Revolution X isn’t wireless will probably be a small sticking point for some. I find it especially handy for lengthy gaming sessions as there’s no risk of the battery cutting out in the middle of an intense firefight. On a few occasions with wireless controllers – especially in FPS games – the sheer amount of vibrations from constant gunfire combined with the controller powering the headset can drain the battery especially quickly and has led to some tedious moments of me dropping out of the game whilst I potter around, plugging in or recharging etc.
