@@MRBIGNICKYeah but those sticks wear out every 6 months, and you need 2 sticks, thats 40 bucks. So yearly that will cost me 80 bucks. Thats like buying a new DualSense controller every year. Or maybe when modular sticks with Hall Effect come out, then you only have to change them once.
@rsh8796 How fast something wears out depends completely on the amount of use. I've had mine for about a year now and I still have no stickdrift. The two standard controllers I have got stickdrift more so around the 6 month mark so at least so far my impression is a lot better in that regard with the new Edge controller. Personally I bought the Edge controller primarily because of the swoppable modules, and so far I have not had do anything. The modules are different on the edge compared to the stock one so you cannot compare them directly just because both is a Sony controller.
One of the best gaming news I had this year was the release of Nacon Pro 5. I have the unlimited pro 4 and loved it, but it cant be used on ps5 games...I got so used to it for fps games that is almost like I cant play well with the normal controller. The nacon back buttons instead of paddles and position, its the absolute best for me, better than scuf or aim controllers. The Edge totaly loses on that, cause it even has only 2 paddles instead of 4. The asymetric left stick is a question of getting used to it, I got so used that I find it better than the usual config. The only feature better in the Edge its the same as in the normal dual sense, which is the lack of vibration (for ps5 games) or adaptive triggers. These features dont even compare, to me, with the most important which is the configuration of the back buttons, cause thats why I bought a pro controller in the first place, and the confort of a nacon is better for me. I just love this controller, the best one for me, hands down
@@o_colonno8303 quando escrevi o comentário acima ainda não tinha o pro5, escrevi com base no 4 e porque já sabia que ia comprar o 5...esse problema era partilhado por muitas pessoas, a mim por acaso não afetou muito...mas sobre o pro5 posso dizer que os R1 e L1 estão ligeiramente melhores, até agora não deram problema nenhum...e o mais diferenciador, os botões traseiros, estão ainda melhores. Sou suspeito porque só usei nacon 3 e depois o 4 durante anos, até estranho outros comandos...mas este é sem dúvida o melhor comando pro que existe. A não ser que queiras as funcionalidades de vibração em jogos ps5 e a que faz o R2 e L2 terem respostas diferentes e tal...isso é engraçado, ok, mas para mim não é o mais importante. O mais importante é o feeling do comando e sobretudo os botões traseiros, que para mim não têm igual. O programa de configuração no PC só é complicado à primeira vez, depois é bastante fácil, e as personalizações são fantásticas. Best ps5 pro controller, hands down!
@@joaovasco3059 sim tive 2 nacon muito top mas os 2 deram problema no l1. R1 sendo duas versões diferentes mais é um dos melhores controles do mundo irei comprar esse em breve. Eu tenho 3 controles da nacon😁
i went with the nacon option because i prefer the stick placement on x box controllers and wanted one controller to use on both pc n ps5. great info dude.
I want to try the Nacon but having to customize on the PC is just a chore. These manufacturers that get Sony licenses need to get an app or something on the PS Store that you can download to just modify things from the console itself. I don't care about lack of vibration as I tried the Victrix Pro BFG and personally didn't miss it when playing competitive shooters. Actually seemed to have better accuracy than I do with the Dualsense Edge. The hall effect sticks and triggers are what I really want to try.
I've got myself the Nacon. I did quite a bit of research and it looks like the Nacon offered me exactly what I wanted. I do feel that it's more of a specific controller for those who are die hard in a certain game. I use a racing rig for GT7 and the Nacon for efootball which are the games I concentrate on in online. For many years I've used the D pad to move the players as it's more responsive and symmetrical to the buttons, but you don't get the same accuracy as the sticks. With the Nacon I am able to limit the movement (even more so with extra rings off eBay) completely take away the dead zones and pump up the sensitivity so everything is instant like the D pad and the asymmetrical make it perfect. I don't need the vibration so it is 100% the best controller FOR ME. Overall I would say that the Edge is the better of the 2, but as even mentioned in the video, the Nacon is fantastic for a specific die hard like myself. Great review and summary by the way ✌️
@@BoxoutCapalot, I'm not getting any latency problems on eFootball which I would notice because you need it to be responsive, need the quick reactions etc, I find it really good. I don't own the other 2 but I used to plug in the standard controller and reactions are better if anything.
@@julienmltn5465, I've only had it about a month, but I pay about £2.50 a month insurance through Argos which covers it for everything including water damage, but it's built like a tank anyway so I'm probably being over cautious. It's nice to have the insurance as back up I guess.
I got the Edge controller and I got it primarily because of the swoppable modules. I had two stock controllers where both had stickdrift, and it's just very annoying to have two fully functional controllers, except... So, I bought the Edge controller and I've had it for about a year and so far no stickdrift. My experience is that the modules are of better quality than stock simply because both stock controllers had stickdrift within six months. Of course the controller should be less expensive, but overall I think it just won't be that big of a difference given I now have two stock controllers that I consider as bricks, yet I have the Edge controller that I at least believe will outlast these by a big margin. The added bonus is that the Edge controller has a better feel, and once you've tuned it to your liking it's plug 'n play like a normal controller. The only downside is that it wouldn't hurt to have a bigger battery, but the longer and high quality power cable is just to plug in a few times every now and again and it doesn't take too much time getting some added power in there.
I would buy either one because I love their designs, I mostly like the revolution 5 pro design, the only thing like about the dualsense edge's design are the button logos on the touchpad and button triggers, and it's symmetrical design. In all honesty, I would mostly lean towards the nacon because of the d-pad, hall-effect thumbsticks, and had grips, but I don't like the idea of using a dongle to play wirelessly. And I'm not completely sure it's my ideal controller for fighting games. Like I racing games and shooters as well, but I been hearing how the dualsense isn't the best controller for fighting games. And I would like to buy a controller that's good for fighting games.
I hear the dongle is actually supposed to be a more stable connection then the Bluetooth, however I have not seen anyone going in depth on it yet. I know when I use BT on PC there is always more drops and input lag coming from the controller so maybe this dongle will provide more stable experience on PC. However if you aren’t a pc gamer dual sense edge seems to make more sense
Other reviewers have had non calibrated thumbsticks though which can break your experience. Hall effect is new and companies are having a time calibration them to perfect
I go with nacon because my left thumb was injured long ago and the xbox layout dosent make my left thumb hurt. Also the performance was great aside from the triggers wearing down fast. Hoping the new one has more sturdy triggers
how is it a pain in the ass? you literall plug it in 1 time and never think about it again... you are just hating to hate at this point. have fun with your 4 hour battery life 💀
I get the nacon delivered today. Used the dual sense edge for well over a year now, but joysticks start to drift unfortunately and the stick modules are hard to come by. Also my L2 button involuntary reacts. I could battle this with setting a deadzone for that trigger, but that shouldn’t happen anyways with such an expensive controller. I hope the nacon will deliver its promises with the hall effect joysticks.
@@UnboxEnjoyerI was able to buy the joystick modules again for the Dualsense edge. My aim in fps games is way better with dualsense edge. But at the end of the day it’s all personal preference. The hal effect joysticks feel pretty nice. But the nacon has higher joysticks by default than a regular ps5 controller and I’m not a fan of that. Also the nacon very comprehensive in terms of tuning the joysticks. I still haven’t found the right response curves for the sticks. Dual sense edge is way easier to set up and the joysticks are just easier going imo. But the nacon feels very nice. If you are a fan of a XboX controller, then the nacon is a solid choice.
They could have done better, by using hall effect it would have made more rome for a bigger battery, instead of the replaceable ones and using a smaller battery.@@Mr_E_Nigma
All good with the edge till the nightmare of stick drift begins. A note worth taking is that even if you decided to change the joystick it's been out of stock for a while now and nobody knows when they're going to make a comeback. Nacon is considering an easy win here
All I want is a reasonably priced PS5 controller with hall effect sticks and nice texture on the grips and nice d pad thats it I dont care about back paddles etc so Edge is out the question and Revolution is 200 quid aswell! I hope Gulikit make one like the Switch King Kong pro 2 around £65-70 that's more like it! Sony, MS and Nintendo are shameless at this point they know how to fix stick drift but don't want to they want us buying new pads every 6 months or annually, hall sensors in bulk wouldn't cost them much extra at all! I was shocked when I saw Edge didn't have them only replaceable sticks so u still have to drop some cash, Switch 2 surely must include hall effect sticks?!
5:58 Was the decider for me. What's the point of buying nacon specifically for ps5 when you need to use 3rd party app on Pc to fully utilize the customisable back buttons - the only real reason to spend more on a controller.
You have more chance of your back buttons breaking than having stick drift on the ps5 edge controller…. Had mine 7 months and my left back button broke of usage….
@@switch_6k256 i have the nacon right now I need to get used to the back buttons now that i have 4 and 2 of them are flush, so accidental pressing is a fact But other than that… pretty sturdy controller until now
I would buy one but having the left stick not be on the bottom really going to throw me off for awhile. I’m too used to having a ps controller, but I’m interested in halo sticks for sure.
What no reviewer of this product has touched upon: If you connect a wired headset to the controller via audio jack, the mic will not be recognized and is therefore not usable. Same if you connect a bluetooth headset (which is one of the "great features" that Nacon advertises). The microphone WILL NOT WORK. Ergo, the mute button makes zero sense on this product, since there is no scenario in which it would work. At least I have not found one (Bluetooth gaming headset, wired Apple earbuds, AirPod Pro, Samsung true wireless earbuds, wired IEMs, wireless headset separately paired to the PS5). The mic will not work and therefore the mute button will not function either. All in all it could've been a great product, but this is a HUGE flaw that is frankly unacceptable at this price point.
@@furiousanger3352 in the meantime I found out, that only some wired headsets will not be recognized. Apple (wired or wireless) products cannot be used (with mic), wired cheapo earbuds from amazon work. My pair of Antlion Kimura Duo do work, but the mic is incredibly shitty due to the controller (very quiet and extreme background buzz, no matter the settings). I tested to Antlions on a regular PS5 controller - mic is perfect. So yeah, Nacon really shit the bed with this aspect of the Rev 5 Pro.
@@furiousanger3352 I was about to buy the Nacon Rev 5 Pro after this video but thankfully came across this comment...How stupid is it that you cant even talk with ur teammates. How am I supposed to communicate??
Actually I forgot to delete this comment,it was stupid from my part , the controller is amazing n I’m loving it n I have no problem with it , I definitely recommend it.
I am interested in whether that Nacon Playstation 5 Pro controller has hepatic feedback and adaptive trigger function or not I am most interested in it, and if it is available, I will buy it, but if it is not available, then I will not I have a Nacon Revolution Call of Duty Black Ops controller for PS4, PC and it can work on PS5 but only PS4 games.
What’s the verdict on the joystick lifespan? My second PS5 controller in 4 years is starting to drift and other than a compressed air can or some soldering, I know I’ll need to get a new one soon. I’m thinking edge? I’m a diegard PS fan so…
I have had to change the stick module on my DualSense Edge, after a bit over a year of that being my main controller. Although I would say I can be quite rough with my controllers - more just gripping them tightly not throwing them around 😅 - Aaron
@@pushsquare Hmm 🤔 as a technician I love having replaceable parts, so I feel like that’s a win but now leaning toward the Nacom because stick drift is completely impossible from what I hear 🤔 Thanks for feedback ❤️👊🏻
I bought both a few Days ago and for me IS only the dual Sense Edge playable because of the Layout....my muscle memory is not able to Adapter to the nacon Layout.... And I paid only 180euro...🤫
Yeah, it blows the DS Edge out of the water for versatility. The DS Edge might be slightly better for shooters and any immersive games with haptics, but for everything else, it plays second fiddle.
I have like a little "clicking" noise on the right stick of the Nacon 5 when i do circle motion and listen to it closely.. the left stick is completely silence. Is my controller defective or is this considered "normal" ? Could you check yours and tell me your expereience? 2nd As soon as i customise the curve on the right stick and dont use the presets (progressive etc) and go to test in app the stick wont go all the way full circle anymore, dont matter what shaft option i use.. but happen only when i manually change the curve. Its fine with the preset curves. Could you check that too if its "normal" ? Just wanna make sure if i have to really return it or not. Because if its line a problem on every nacon five i dont have to go through all the struggle to get a new one just to find out it still has the same errors or i even get a even worse controller worst case...
Hands down, the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro is the better option. It offers so much more customisation for the same price, has hall effect joysticks, and the overall build quality is incredible. The DS Edge is only worth it if you really want the immersive experience with haptic feedback, but I think most ppl (including solo players) just want something that needs little to no maintenance.
sure, the nacon is 180 bucks but THINK ABOUT IT. You treat this controller right and you'll never have to buy another one again! Plus, I've heard the damn thing feels like heaven compared to the regular dualsense, if I ever get blessed by having the option of getting this, whether my parents buy one for me, or if I somehow get another job, I'm taking the damn opportunity and going with the nacon.
Dont get the edge. With scalpers upping the new sticks to $40-$50 and playstation being playstation its a big headache. I have an edge that developed stick drift and just picked up Nacon because of it. Save yourself some money and get the Nacon. It does not matter what features the controller has if you cant play because of stick drift, and all other controllers are prone to it except Nacon.
I have a Dualsense Edge but I want a pro controller for my PC and I refuse to buy another Dualsense Edge. So I bought a 8bitdo Ultimate but its way too small for my hands and I have small hands. Thinking of getting the Xbox Elite but Ive heard many quality issues from them. Its between the Victrix BFG, Scuf, and this Nacon. I need offset sticks and 4 back paddles.
@belalhashim4990 I went with the scuf instinct pro. So far, so good, but I might pick up the Nacon a little bit later for the offset stick for my PS5. I have an obsession with pro controllers.
I can't even remember how much i spent on them, lol but i got all but the scuf, just dont care for them, but the wolverine honestly is my favorite, then the nacon, then the sony, then the victrix, all serves different purposes
After 2 bad Sony controllers with stick drift . I purchased nacon revolutionary pro .don't regret it.. buy buy drift glitch and no buying new sticks every 400hrs
Nacon for me. My problem with controllers have always been stick drift or broken trigger. I don't want to pay $199 and then have to buy parts later. Nice try, Sony. Learn some innovation like Nacon has with their magnetic sticks and no stick drift ever.
Just being only 10 dollars cheaper is a big mistake when you’re competing with sony’s controller that has better premium feel, haptic triggers, and the software to customize button mapping is native to the system I’m interested in the controller but not at nearly the same price as the Edge, and I already think the Edge is overpriced
Never really cared for vibration in games, I rarely play competitive games but when I do I always make sure vibration is one of the first things I turn off as it breaks my concentration when I’m deep in lock in mode. Plus I mainly play story games and even when an intense cutscene or quick time event happens with explosions or things breaking I barely notice the vibrations most of the time. And if that wasn’t enough. HALL EFFECTS!!!!! LOWER CHANCE OF DRIFT!!!! WWWWWWW
Sorry, the Controller is nothing for smaller Hands. The Paddels, because of the Big Body of the Nacon heavy to handle. The lower Paddels are toooo easy to push. I accidently push the Paddle in every Gunfight. I send it back. I think the Edge ist the best Choice. Yes, only 2 Paddels. But for the feeling at playing he ist the best of all Pro`s. I hat the Scuf Reflex, The Bacon and the Besavieor. Edge Wins
I have the edge. The connection points for the paddles broke and no longer hold the paddles in the correct position and make them move around. I've had it for less than a year and it's disappointing when it's produced by Sony.
Im never buying another official PS5 controller again. Like, wtf is this even a thing? Considering how much the ps5 is. 3rd party controllers like this are where its at.
I've been deciding to buy a pro controller for a long time. Thinking about what to get, like the victrix controller or dual sense edge, and now the Nacon Pro 5. For me, the PS5 Dualsense Edge looks more aesthetic, is more immersive, and is unique compared to all the other controllers. The Nacon Pro 5 is for diehard professional gamers that need every single performance upgrade they could have, while risking some of the more immersive features. In my opinion, the Dualsense Edge is just better for those who want a unique controller, and also immersion that would be more entertaining for longer gaming sessions, and the Dualsense Edge looks more comfier too. The case is also important for me while the Nacon Pro 5 might have more to offer, the Dualsense Edge is just the more unique controller.
@@pushsquare looks like they are playing a game of chances on us lol. I will probably try the Edge, being able to change the sticks looks like a good safety.
@4:56 I KNOW BF2042's KALEIDOSCOPE WHEN I SEE IT!!! l🤣🤣 No, but really, I'm rather disappointed in the thumbstick's overly large dead zone. :( I think I'll return it and just buy an extended warranty for the Edge controller so I can replace it when I innevitably get stick drift with that one, too.
@@deciduousoutdoors436 if there are available on amazon at any given time, I wouldn’t post my comment. Sparepart usually available only for 3-4 days then out of stock again.
Not much of a competition, PS always had the worst controllers. They put loads of gimmick features on it hoping no one would notice how terrible their controllers are
@@dannymc8449, gimmicks? 🤣 They add immersion to the game, and it would all depend on the game on which is more comfortable, but in the majority of games I find the PS symmetry more comfortable.
Has a owner of NANCO PRO control I m not recommending this control for any ps5 owner just because ps5 can easily update console and luck this control for ever just like they did with older version DO NOT BUY IN IT !!!! And the price they ask for OMG just not wort it absolutely no no no no my recommendation BUY A PS5 elite control It’s a original made from Sony
Nice try, Sony. First of all, this is the only Nacon controller that is supported by the PS5, as their older models only work with the respective PS console of that generation and PC. So, how is it possible for Sony to lock your old controller out when it was never supported by the PS5 in the first place? Secondly, this Nacon controller is 100% worth the price because it has so many advantages over the DS Edge. Thirdly, Sony literally can't lock you out of using controllers they officially license, as that would be breach of contract with those companies who manufacture these types of controllers. Sony literally makes money from the sales of these controllers, as they're officially licensed, so it seems pretty stupid for them to suddenly sever that revenue stream. Maybe you're not someone from Sony, but the fact that none of your claims add up makes your entire comment invalid and false.
@@StardustLegacyFighter it was perfectly working on ps5 game when they realised the console out for public use , only 2 week after they made a patch no more old elite controllers going to work for ps5 take it from the guy how has ps5 5 week before they gut to marketplace
@@MsLegenddI see, but there's no way they'll ever brick this one for the PS5, so I don't see the problem. This is just Sony being scumbags, and tbh I'd rather buy a new 3rd partry controller for each generation than to give my hard earned money to Sony. Besides, you can still use this controller for PC, and Sony can't do anything about that. I wouldn't blame Nacon for this nonsense, as their controllers are solid.
