The Nacon Revolution 5 Pro is an excellent premium PS5 controller that's right at home with many of the best PS5 games and best fighting games. Nacon partnered with professional Street Fighter 6 player Nathan 'Mister Crimson' Massol in order to design a controller that's ideal for multiplayer gaming.

The controller itself is highly customizable, featuring a set of swappable thumbsticks and a floating circular d-pad design that allows for more precise inputs in fighting games - really handy if you don't like relying on analog sticks in 2D fighters. Another cool feature is the inclusion of a set of grip weights, which can help the controller rest in your hands much firmer should you require that.

In our four-star review for the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro, we praised all these customizable extras as well as its excellent, sturdy build quality.
