This new PS5 controller is so good I can never go back to the DualSense Edge

Nacon Revolution 5 Pro Controller vs Sony DualSense Edge Controller.

I’ve said it more than once 'round these parts: I should not be allowed anywhere near money. The combination of throwing cash at gaming-focused tech then living off the cheapest of the cheap microwave meals isn’t a lifestyle I’d recommend to anyone who lives like, y’know, an actual adult. This is a roundabout way of saying I’m a lifelong PlayStation fan who willingly bought not one, but two DualSense Edge controllers. And now I may never touch either of those $199 gamepads again.

Enter the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro ($199 @ Amazon). This officially licensed Sony controller is a brilliant peripheral I’ve gradually become obsessed with over the past few weeks. For my money, it outdoes the Edge in a couple of key areas, though it’s hard to deny the DualSense’s daddy has the upperhand in some scenarios. (Also, forgive me for patting myself on the back for not going with an easy “edge” pun at the tail end of that last sentence.)
