NACON has expanded its Revo lineup of Wired Gaming Controllers, introducing a series that targets both console and PC players with a mix of hardware variations and pricing adjustments. The range includes three models, the standard Revo, Revo Pro, and Revo Max, all built around Hall effect sensors for both joysticks and triggers, a feature increasingly used in modern controllers to improve durability and reduce stick drift issues over time.
The base Revo model focuses on delivering essential performance features while keeping costs lower, but the Revo Pro introduces several additions aimed at more competitive use. It comes with a dual-trigger system that supports mechanical microswitches, offering a different tactile response for faster input feedback. Alongside this, NACON has included two programmable rear buttons, allowing users to map extra inputs for in-game actions. A dedicated Pro Shot mode is also part of the package, designed to remove dead zones for improved responsiveness in shooters and fast-paced games.
At the top of the lineup, the Revo Max brings the most advanced feature set. It upgrades the ABXY buttons and D-pad to mechanical microswitches and adds dial-based damping adjustment for the analog sticks, allowing users to fine-tune resistance based on preference. This positions the Max variant as the most customizable option in the series for players who want more control over input feel.
On the Xbox version of the Revo controllers, NACON includes four vibration motors across the lineup, delivering more detailed haptic feedback during gameplay. Pricing for these versions is set at 39.9 euros for the standard model, 49.9 euros for the Pro, and 69.9 euros for the Max.
However, according to information reported by French media outlet CowcotLand, the PC versions of the Revo controllers will not fully match the Xbox editions in terms of vibration hardware. Instead of four motors, the PC variants are said to feature dual vibration motors. Despite this adjustment, the rest of the specifications reportedly remain unchanged, meaning Hall effect sensors and additional Pro and Max features are still included.
Along with the hardware change, NACON is also lowering the price of each PC model by 10 euros compared to its Xbox counterparts. This places the PC lineup at a more accessible price point, with the standard model expected to cost around 29.9 euros, the Pro version near 39.9 euros, and the Max variant at approximately 59.9 euros.
The move reflects a common approach in gaming peripherals where PC-focused versions are adjusted slightly to better align with platform requirements and pricing expectations. For users on PC, the reduction in vibration motors may not have a major impact depending on game support, while the inclusion of Hall effect technology and additional customization options keeps the Revo series competitive in the wired controller market.
