Unlike the first version which uses a proprietary 5-pin connector attached to the controller, the Revolution 2 uses a USB Type-C at the end of a 3-m braided cable. The set also comes with different weights which you can insert into the controller via a special port to adjust its weight and heft.
In the hand, the Nacon does feel a bit large compared to the DS4 but it doesn’t hinder me too much.
Unlike the Hori, the Nacon Revolution 2 comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom, and its lightbar placement is closer to the user rather than facing the television. It comes with a matte finish so you do not leave much fingerprints on it while the touchpad carries a premium feel thanks to the raised X,square, circle and triangle symbols on it. The Nacon Revolution 2 Pro Controller feels almost exactly like the Xbox One controller out of the box. Until now when I saw that they’ve released the  Nacon Revolution 2 Pro Controller which improves on its first iteration. I was nearly swayed to pick it up back then but other commitments and the fact that the software for it does not support Mac caused me to put it off back then. Then Nacon came up with the Nacon Revolution Pro Controller. I had options to upgrade – most obvious being Razer’s Raiju PS4 controller but its traditional, DS4-like thumbsticks placement turned me off. It was all I needed back then in spite of its numerous shortcomings – the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack meant that I had to use either a Bluetooth headset or a USB one and the controller felt … cheap. So since early 2016, I have been on the hunt of a proper PlayStation 4 compatible controller with the asymmetrical thumbsticks placement and I started with the Hori Pad FPS Plus. With the Xbox One controller, it felt much more natural especially thanks to the left thumbstick which controls your view when aiming down the sights. While I have nothing but praise for the DualShock 4, the symmetrical placement of the thumbsticks just does not feel right when playing first person shooters with it. The reason behind it include it’s construction feel, the weight of it and most of all, the thumbsticks placements. While I game mostly on the PlayStation 4, my favorite controller of all time is the one you’d find with an Xbox One. REVOLUTION Pro Controller 1 owners: the software is now available for Mac 😉 Good news for owners of the Pro Controller 1 (with the 5-pin connector) – its software is now available for Mac, as tweeted by Nacon’s official Twitter account.
