Sony has greenlit another 'pro' controller for the PlayStation 4. Once again, Nacon is stepping things up with its latest design, due to launch in October. Much like the company's previous efforts, the Revolution Pro Controller 3 will feature Xbox-style asymmetrical analog sticks, and requires a wired connection to your console.
It's got a load of bells and whistles, too, including replaceable weights, fully customisable input layouts, and additional buttons that are yours to map.
Here's a full rundown from the press release:
- Wired connection via USB-C cable (3m length)
- PS, SHARE, OPTIONS buttons
- Touch pad
- 4 shortcut buttons (S1/S2/S3/S4)
- Dual customisable sticks with 46° amplitude
- 4* or 8-way directional pad
- 3.5mm headset jack for audio and chat
- LED player status indicator
- 2x customisable* vibration motors
- Internal weight compartments and 6 additional weights included (2x10g, 2x14g, 2x16g)
- Textured finish to the controller’s casing
- Hard storage case included
- Compatible with PC games in PC Advanced Mode
For reference, we actually reviewed the Nacon Revolution Unlimited back in May, and thought it was a pretty good controller. We also took a look at the more affordable Nacon Asymmetric PS4 Controller in July, and found it equally agreeable. Nacon makes some solid pads, so hopefully this next edition lives up to expectations.

All these officially licensed, late-in-the-generation 3rd party 'Pro' controllers better be compatible with PS5 day one.
Asymmetrical? Well, then it's more like the 'loser controller'. 🤐
Looks quite good i use a brook adaptor in an xbox one pad to play on my ps4/ps3 and xbox. It would be nice to have a controller pad like the new xbox elite 2 coming out as good as quality but works perfectly for playstation.
So is there much difference to the last one?
Don't understand how can something be "Pro" if it doesn't even have the sticks in the right position
sony seems to be licensing a lot of "pro" controllers with the sticks in the wrong place. i hope this is not sign of things to come with the dualshock 5...

Hrrmmm, I'd never heard of one those adaptors. Thanks
These must sell pretty well for them to keep introducing new models. I'd love to grab one but it's a little too expensive. Also from the specifications it doesn't list Gyro, which makes it useless for games such as Dreams.
We've already got the best, most ergonomic controller - it's called the DualShock 4.
Asymmetric sticks? No thanks. And it requires a wired connection to your console, connected via a USB-C cable? Sounds like a bit of a bodge.
@sanderson72 Brook has made a wireless adaptor that slots in the Xbox One controller and connects wirelessly to the PS4.
I just like the layout better as the left stick is on the tip of your thumb the same as the right stick.
These controllers look good i like the way on some yo can lock the back triggers halfway L2 & R2 for zooming and shooting so you don't get trigger finger after hours of rapid zooming and firing.
