The contenders
Nacon Revolution 5 Pro
Consider it if you want an asymmetric layout and adjustable hardware for PlayStation. Skip it if PS5 haptics or adaptive triggers are central to your games. Its Bluetooth audio support is not Bluetooth gamepad support.
- Hall-effect sticks and triggers
- PS5, PS4 and Windows modes
- Adjustable weights and stick parts
- Headset jack and Bluetooth audio
- No vibration in PS5 games
- No DualSense haptics or adaptive triggers
- Bluetooth cannot connect the pad to the console
- Mac gameplay is not supported in Nacon’s FAQ
DualSense Edge
Consider the Edge for PS5 features, profile controls and a documented way to replace a faulty stick module. It also has official PC customization. Do not buy on the assumption that every internal part is user-serviceable or that all faults can be fixed by swapping a module.
- Complete stick modules can be replaced using Sony’s procedure
- Two rear controls with different attachment styles
- Adjustable trigger travel
- Saved profiles and PC customization
- Haptics and adaptive triggers in supported games
- Replacement stick modules are sold separately
- Only two rear controls
