Gosh, controllers are becoming complicated these days, aren't they? It seems like it wasn't that long ago that the majority of gaming controllers gave you a small smattering of face buttons, a couple of triggers, and the odd thumbstick to keep track of. Now, however, we're starting to see premium options become the norm, covered in paddles, extra buttons, screens, and enough features to make your head spin.
The Nacon Revolution X Unlimited takes this principle to the absolute extreme. Not satisfied with being merely a device to connect your hands to your games with a decent turn of speed, its designers appear to have thrown the kitchen sink at it—which may be just as well given its $200/£180 price tag. That puts the Nacon firmly at the premium end of the market, and there are some big fish swimming in those particular waters.
Beyond the standard asymmetrical Xbox layout, the Revolution X Unlimited also throws in four rear buttons, two extra shoulder buttons, and a three-way toggle switch on the rear to swap between wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4 GHz wireless connections.
