Nacon Revolution 5 Unlimited: What to Know Before You Preorder

Nacon’s Revolution 5 Unlimited (R5U) is a premium, officially licensed PS5 controller with an asymmetric stick layout, a built-in settings screen and TMR thumbsticks. It also supports PC. Preorders opened October 2, 2026, at an announced $229.99 / £179.99 / €199.99—but Nacon’s product listings show different prices, and the available release information does not establish a confirmed delivery date for every order. 5813

Price and expected release timing

Nacon’s announcement-era pricing was €199.99, $229.99 and £179.99. However, the US product page lists $199.90, while the UK page lists £199.90. Those differences make the price shown at checkout the best guide for a specific region and order. 5815

The timing is also worth treating cautiously. Nacon’s product page says “Available on 21/10,” which points to October 21, while The Verge reported that the controller was expected to ship later in 2026. These references do not confirm when a particular preorder will arrive. 513

What the screen does—and how it differs from a touchpad

The R5U’s integrated screen is a small control interface for adjusting settings without leaving a game. Nacon says players can change joystick sensitivity, shortcut assignments, audio mixing and controller settings from the controller itself. 518

That is different from the DualSense touchpad, which serves as a game-input surface. The R5U’s screen is for menus and adjustments, not a replacement touchpad; reporting on the controller says it does not include the DualSense-style touchpad. 613

TMR thumbsticks and the Revolution 5 Pro

Nacon’s headline stick change is its use of TMR (tunneling magnetoresistance) technology. The earlier Revolution 5 Pro uses Hall-effect sticks, according to reporting on that model. These are different magnetic sensing approaches; Nacon presents TMR as a move toward precision and reliability, but the launch materials alone do not establish how the finished controller compares in real-world use. 51630

Features, accessories and platform support

Nacon lists dual-mode triggers, seven programmable shortcuts and a dedicated charging station. The screen handles quick adjustments, while the company also promotes customization through a companion app. The controller is listed for PS5 and Windows PC; Nacon’s product page also describes it as compatible with Smart TV. 59

At the announced $229.99 US price, the R5U sits above the $200 launch price reported for Nacon’s Revolution 5 Pro. The added screen and TMR sticks distinguish the new model on paper, but buyers should weigh those features against the price and wait for hands-on testing before assuming they deliver a better competitive-gaming experience. 830

Nacon’s business context

The controller arrives while Nacon is undergoing judicial reorganisation. A reported proposed financial restructuring includes a €31 million capital increase. That is relevant context for the company, but it does not by itself indicate whether R5U preorders will ship on schedule; the release information available so far remains imprecise. 2613
