Nacon’s new PS5 controller can mix audio from your phone and console
Nacon announced what the company is claiming is the world’s first officially licensed PlayStation 5 controller with a built-in screen for adjusting settings like joystick sensitivity or remapping buttons right on the gamepad. The Revolution 5 Unlimited’s screen can also be used to mix audio from multiple sources so while using a pair of headphones connected to the gamepad with a cable you can listen to music from your phone and sounds from the game you’re playing at the same time.
The Revolution 5 Unlimited is available for preorder starting today for $229.99 through Nacon’s online store and is expected to ship sometime later this year. While it’s primarily designed for use with the PS5, the R5U features an asymmetrical stick layout similar to Xbox and Switch gamepads with a pair of drift-resistant tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) thumbsticks. Both sticks can be customized by attaching alternate heads featuring different designs and the controller’s D-pad is swappable. You can use a classic four-way design or switch to an eight-way option that makes it easier to perform combo moves in fighting games.
Nacon even lets you adjust how balanced the controller feels with 10, 14, and 16 gram weights that can be inserted into the R5U’s non-slip grips.
On the top of the controller you’ll find a pair of shoulder buttons, a pair of customizable shortcut buttons, and a pair of triggers with adjustable travel that can be shortened to reduce reaction times in FPS games. There’s four additional customizable shortcut buttons on the back of the controller as well as a button used for quickly switching between multiple saved profiles.
The R5U is also compatible with PCs and Android devices and customizing its performance and functionality isn’t limited to its built-in screen. Nacon also offers a mobile app for iOS and Android that expands the customization options to include adjusting the thumbsticks’ response curves, tweaking EQ profiles for the audio sources, and modifying the color of the RGB lighting surrounding the right stick.
