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.
