For PC and Xbox Series X|S gamers who have the money to spend and take their games seriously, particularly shooters, the new NACON Revolution X Unlimited controller is now available at a price of £179.90.
It’s a fair amount to spend on a joypad, but there are plenty of features to help justify your investment. Most noticeable is an LCD screen which NACON has added to a controller for the first time, giving you info including the game mode, active profile, battery level, connection type and more, with the connection options being radio frequency, wired and Bluetooth.
Also exclusive to the Revolution X Unlimited controller is a PC mode which reduces latency to just 1 millisecond in wired mode, allowing you to assign keyboard keys to buttons or activate the gyroscope function. Plus you can use a dedicated app to set up game profiles and activate different game modes.
The joysticks and triggers used magnetic Hall Effect sensors, to avoid drift, and the triggers also feature Omron micro-switches with directional cross and button locks. There are six programmable shortcut buttons, and the rechargeable battery should be fine for a minimum of 10 hours per charge.
You can also enable the Shooter Pro Mode, which elimimates joystick deadzones for better responsiveness and precision. And if you want to customise the hardware itself, you get six additional weights, six joystick heads, two joystick rings and two directional crosses included, along with a protective hard carry case. The Revolution X Unlimited also works with any Android based device.
It’s not cheap at £179.90, but the NACON Revolution X Unlimited does offer a pretty long list of features and customisation.
You can order it direct from the NACON website, and it should be available from various retailers soon. In the meantime, you can always check out the other game controllers we’ve featured for various budgets.
