Having a physical tethered connection to your system of choice goes a long way to eliminate the likes of input lag and latency issues which are particularly pressing when playing competitively, sure, but I would have liked the option to sync up via Bluetooth (or 2.4GHz wireless) for the sake of convenience. It should be noted that, unlike the Revolution Unlimited Pro, the Nacon Revolution X Pro isn't wireless. Really though, I'm just glad that the Nacon Revolution X Pro controller wasn't wrapped in a glossy black finish no one wants a lubricious fingerprint magnet. Unlike some controllers which can get slippery in the hand, this texture ensures that you've got a good handle on the unit at all times.

Similarly nuanced is the rubber patterned grip that adorns the back of the gamepad. There's an almost military-style, angular feel to the controller with its deliberate carved lines that run underneath the left analog stick and the face buttons it's very subtle, but it looks cool. It's hard to miss the prominent RGB light ring that surrounds the right analog stick, and there's no accounting for taste, but I think it lends an aura of interest and novelty to what would otherwise be a fairly by-the-numbers gamepad.

With one obvious exception, the Nacon Revolution X Pro Controller looks very similar to the standard Xbox Wireless Controller. (Image credit: Nacon) Nacon Revolution X Pro Controller review: design
