Why you would want to do the latter when they feel so good is beyond me, but there we go. The customisation that Nacon are allowing here is nothing short of immense and so if you feel the need to remap the response curves of either stick, the gates for the D-Pad, the amount of travel for your triggers or even switch off the additional vibration motors that are found in this controller, you can do. Expect to delve into the App and be greeted by a ton of adjustable sliders, button maps, trigger settings and more. These work with the free-to-download Revolution X App from the Xbox Store, with this allowing the chance to amend all manner of things. These feed into the different profiles that the Rev X allows, with you able to drop in four advanced gamer profiles should you see fit. From using a good few varieties of controllers that utilise back buttons, IРІР‚в„ўd say the placement and integration on the Revolution X is up there with the very best.Р’В Perhaps it is THE very best.Р”Р„round the back are also a couple of other buttons and sliders. This means all four buttons are immediately at hand, with little to no shifting of your hand placement in order to hit them. Two (the S1 and S3) sit on the back side, right where your third finger lays, whilst the other two (S2 and S4) kick in along with your fourth finger.

Honestly РІР‚вЂњ coming from someone who likes familiarity and rarely needs to customise things РІР‚вЂњ the placement of these buttons is superb. Yep, Nacon have seen fit to work with a host of pro gamers and esports specialists to ensure button placement and ease of use is at the very forefront of what the Revolution X delivers. But then include the four rear mounted buttons too and youРІР‚в„ўre getting into Elite controller territory. The feel of the bumpers and triggers (whilst unfortunately not textured) is great, with a nice flow from the former into the latter. ThatРІР‚в„ўs no biggy really though, itРІР‚в„ўs not like youРІР‚в„ўre reaching for the Nexus in the heat of battle and so Nacon can easily be let off the hook on this.Р”Р„nd they can be let off the hook because the rest of the Revolution X is brilliant. In fact, the buttons here on this thing are well laid out with the thumbsticks and D-Pad, bumpers and triggers all very familiar. ItРІР‚в„ўs not exactly the same in proportions, but itРІР‚в„ўs close enough for you to not need worry about feel, comfort and button placement.

All black in design and style, this is a third party option that is pretty close to the standard official controller that comes out of Microsoft HQ. If you can handle a cable, youРІР‚в„ўre probably going to like what Nacon have done with the rest of the Revolution X Pro Controller РІР‚вЂњ Designed for Xbox. ItРІР‚в„ўs detachable too for ease of carry and when you include the fact that this controller comes with its own little carry case, with space for the controller, the cable and some other bits and bobs, thereРІР‚в„ўs pretty much nothing stopping you from getting your game on. Thankfully Nacon seem to understand this and whilst not able to provide a wireless controller, have ensured it comes with a 3 meter long cable (USB-A to USB-C) which totally powers the Revolution X. I donРІР‚в„ўt game at a desk all day, I have consoles scattered around the land and want something that can just connect and be done with, without the worry of needing to be within a certain distance of the console. In fact РІР‚вЂњ personal case in point РІР‚вЂњ I love the freedom that a standard wireless Xbox controller brings. Now, IРІР‚в„ўm getting that in here and out of the way as soon as I can because for many thatРІР‚в„ўs going to be a deal breaker.

Priced very competitively (youРІР‚в„ўre looking at just shy of Р’Р€100 for this highly customisable product), the Revolution X Pro Controller is a fully wired option.
