There is some great technology under the hood of the Revolution 5 Pro. It has Hall Effect joysticks to help keep stick drift at bay, trigger-locks to decrease the travel distance on each pull, four customizable Omron microswitch back paddles, interchangeable weights, and several swappable thumbsticks. Interestingly, the D-Pad on this controller was created in partnership with professional fighting game player Mister Crimson, so if you're a Street Fighter 6 or Mortal Kombat 1 player, you might want to check this out. If the exotic design doesn't appeal to you, you can swap it out for a more traditional D-pad.

For compatibility, the Revolution 5 Pro will work on PS5, PS4, and PC. It has up to 10 hours of battery life from a full charge, and if you're running low on juice, you can switch to a wired mode using the included USB-C to USB-A cable. It comes in two colors, white and black.

Alternative high-end gaming controllers

The Revolution 5 Pro is in competition with several other pro-style PlayStation controllers. Most notably, there's the DualSense Edge, PlayStation's premium first-party controller which costs $199. Another alternative is the Razer Wolverine V2 Pro, which is on sale for $230 (was $250). The Razer Wolverine V2 Pro is a really nice controller with a chunky design, making it great for anyone with big hands. This PS5 and PC controller has inputs with a shorter actuation distance for quicker button presses and an 8-way microswitch D-pad.

While it's not on sale, the $174+ PDP Victrix Pro BFG is a stellar customizable controller. This one has the conventional pro-style features--four back buttons, trigger locks, etc.--but it also has a modular design that lets you swap the position of the left analog stick to offer aligned or offset layouts. There's also a six-button module that's great for fighting games. With multiple D-pad styles and detachable thumbstick caps, the Victrix Pro BFG is a well-rounded PlayStation and PC controller--it's also available for Xbox/PC--that's well worth considering. In fact, it's one of our top picks for DualSense and Elite Series 2 alternatives on our best PS5 controllers and best Xbox controllers lists.

If you are thinking of getting a high-end controller primarily for PC, we'd recommend the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller instead. This one has been popular with PC users since it was introduced a few years ago, and depending on your needs, you can save some cash by grabbing the Core model for $96 at Target (normally $140) or the regular version with a ton of accessories for $151 (normally $180).

Over at Walmart, you can also save big on numerous styles of Xbox's official wireless controller, which is a very popular option for PC gamers, too.

Alternatively, two Asus controllers for PC and Xbox have been discounted. The standard Asus Raikiri is pretty great--and eye-catching--with a decent range of customizable hardware, while the Pro model takes things a step further and adds a mini-OLED display. With that little screen, you can create customizable animations, view status indicators, and see which profile you have selected for the controller.
