The L2/R2 buttons are designed with quite a sharp upward angle, which means it’s much easier to grip and use them without slipping, and the spring inside allows for quick presses. The shoulder buttons are where this controller diverts again. The story is the same for the share and options buttons as well, and the four action buttons are placed on the right as they should be.
If you’re going to be using a controller for PC gaming, then the PS4 touchpad might not be a great necessity – but it’s there, and fully functional if you are going to be using this on a console. In fact, the joysticks themselves impressed me, with their rubberized tips providing a lot of extra grip, which I always felt the Dualshock lacked.Īside from that though, the button layout is largely the same. Honestly, I prefer it, and with usability the name of the game when it comes to the Revolution Pro Controller 3 it makes sense that the joysticks would be in this layout as it makes the d-pad much more accessible. So, we’ve talked about weight and size, but what about the button layout? Well, the folks at Nacon have once again taken inspiration from Xbox, with the joysticks on the Revolution Pro in the Xbox One controller layout, rather than in the Dualshock Four side-by-side configuration. You can have the controller as light or as heavy as you like it, making it incredibly comfortable in your hand and easy to manage over those longer play periods. Just open up the back panels of the controller, and use the included weights to adjust the actual in-hand weight of the controller to your liking. When you consider size, you are also going to consider weight – and this is where the Revolution Pro Controller 3 breaks out one of its real highlights for me customizable weighting. This might be considered odd as the Revolution Pro Controller 3 was designed and officially licensed for use on the PS4, but I can’t see any harm in looking to the major competition for inspiration. Larger than the standard Dualshock 4 that comes with every new Playstation 4, the Revolution Pro Controller 3 is fantastically proportioned, with a size comparable to that of the Xbox One controller. Luckily though, the Nacon Revolution Pro Controller 3 is just right.
Too small, and you are going to get some serious hand cramp after a long session, too big and you aren’t going to be able to use it well. In fact, one of the very first things I consider when it comes to controllers is the size of the gamepad. When it comes to controller design, size definitely matters. With that out in the open, it should be no surprise that I am always on the lookout for the best way to play – and Nacon has definitely stepped up to the plate with their latest offerings Nacon’s Revolution Unlimited, and the Nacon Revolution Pro Controller 3. When it comes to gaming I will admit that I often prefer a controller to use a mouse and keyboard.
