Nacon said on Oct 2 that it has opened pre-orders for the Revolution 5 Unlimited, a PlayStation 5 controller with a built-in screen, at a suggested retail price of €199.99, $229.99 or £179.99. The French publisher and accessory maker, listed as EPA: NACON, says the pad is officially licensed for PlayStation 5 and can be pre-ordered on nacongaming.com.1^,2^,3^,4^,5

The company calls the screen a world first for an officially licensed PS5 controller. It says players can use it to change audio mixing, joystick sensitivity, shortcut mapping and system settings without leaving the game. At the heart of the pad, Nacon says, is TMR (tunneling magnetoresistance) magnetic technology, new to its lineup, meant to improve reliability while delivering precision and reduced power consumption. The pad also comes with a charging dock, which Nacon says is a first for an officially licensed PS5 controller from the company. For competitive play, Nacon lists trigger blockers that switch a trigger from an analog pull to an ultra-short click, and multiple remappable shortcut buttons. A Shooter Pro Mode, it says, removes joystick dead zones.5^,6^,7^,8^,9^,10^,11

Nacon says the pad connects to a PS5 console, a PC and Android Smart TVs, and pairs with a mobile app for iOS and Android. It describes a PC mode with 1ms latency. A footnote in the release says Sony Interactive Entertainment has neither tested nor endorsed PC compatibility.12^,13^,14

Nacon says the pad builds on the success of its Revolution range among competitive and professional players since 2016. The director of its accessories division, Yannick Allaert, says the pad shows Nacon can set new standards in competitive gaming peripherals.15^,16^,17

The AMF, France's market regulator, lists the release as published on Oct 2 under its inside information label, which also holds announcements such as a product launch. The regulator lists it twice, once in English and once in French, both dated Oct 2. All of the above is Nacon's own account, and the text we hold does not give a shipping date.18^,2^,1^,19^,20^,21
