Nacon Launches REVO and REVO MAX Controllers From €29.90: Hall Effect Sticks, Tension Rings, and 1,000 Hz Polling on Xbox and PC
French gaming hardware manufacturer Nacon is expanding its controller lineup today, November 9, 2026, by announcing the immediate availability of its new REVO wired controller series for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC, and Smart TVs. Engineered to bring magnetic anti-drift durability and low-latency performance to every price bracket, the family spans three distinct tiers: the baseline REVO (starting at €29.90 / $39.90) and the customizable REVO MAX (up to €69.90 / $69.90) are available starting today through partner retailers and the official Nacon store, while a tournament-focused REVO PRO flagship is scheduled to follow in 2027.
REVO PC and REVO X: Hall Effect Sensors and 1,000 Hz Polling Starting at €29.90
The entry tier of the lineup is built for players who want reliable, plug-and-play accuracy without worrying about premature mechanical wear. Nacon splits this baseline model into two platform-specific editions: the REVO PC (SKU PCGC-REVO), priced at €29.90 for Windows PC and Smart TV setups, and the REVO X (SKU XBXREVO), retailing at €39.90 ($39.90 USD) with an official Designed for Xbox license covering Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
Under the shell, both controllers ditch traditional carbon-film potentiometers in favor of magnetic Hall Effect joysticks and triggers. Because the sensors measure axis movement through magnetic fields without physical contact, internal friction is eliminated, effectively preventing stick drift over thousands of hours of play. When connected to a PC via the included detachable 3-meter (10-foot) braided USB-C to USB-A cable, the controllers unlock a 1,000 Hz polling rate that drops input latency down to just 1 millisecond, bringing down to budget price points the same high-speed PC responsiveness seen on the recently released wireless Nacon Revolution Pro X - SE. Both models also feature a 3.5mm headset jack and asymmetric sticks, with 2 vibration motors inside the grips on the REVO PC and 4 vibration motors (two in the grips plus two impulse motors in the triggers) on the Xbox-licensed REVO X.
Nacon REVO & REVO X MAX Controllers (Xbox / PC)
- Magnetic Hall Effect joysticks and triggers to prevent stick drift
- 1,000 Hz PC polling rate (1 ms latency) with 3m braided USB-C cable
- On-the-fly joystick tension rings and micro-switches on MAX models
- Official Designed for Xbox compatibility (Xbox Series X
- S, Xbox One, PC)
REVO PC MAX, REVO X MAX, and REVO PRO: Tension Rings, Micro-Switches, and Shooter Pro Mode
For players who want deeper mechanical customization without paying over $150 for a flagship pad, the second tier introduces the REVO PC MAX (SKU PCGC-REVOMAX) at €59.90 and the Xbox-licensed REVO X MAX (SKU XBXREVOMAX) at €69.90 / $69.90. Building on the Hall Effect foundation and 1,000 Hz PC polling rate, the MAX models add adjustable joystick tension rings directly around the base of the sticks. Rotating the outer ring lets players loosen stick resistance for effortless movement in adventure titles or stiffen the centering tension for steady fine-aiming in competitive shooters.
Button actuation is also upgraded across the board with tactile mechanical micro-switches under the ABXY action buttons, the D-pad, and the adjustable instant triggers. On the back of the grips, 2 programmable shortcut buttons keep essential actions within reach without lifting your thumbs off the sticks, while a dedicated "Shooter Pro" mode strips out joystick dead zones for instantaneous input registration.
Looking further ahead, Nacon has also confirmed the third member of the family: the REVO PRO, slated for release in 2027. Built specifically for esports athletes and hardcore tournament play, the REVO PRO will combine instant micro-switch triggers, programmable rear paddles, and competition-tuned ergonomics.

My Take on the Spec Sheet
Looking closely at the hardware breakdown of this new REVO lineup, Nacon's aggressive pricing strategy is what stands out right away. Offering magnetic Hall Effect sticks and triggers alongside a 1,000 Hz (1 ms) PC polling rate starting at just €29.90 on PC and €39.90 ($39.90) with an official Xbox license puts serious pressure on standard first-party gamepads that still rely on drift-prone potentiometers at $60 or more. Even more impressive on paper is the REVO MAX tier at €59.90 / €69.90 ($69.90): by opting for a reliable 3-meter braided wired connection instead of an expensive wireless battery pack, players get external joystick tension rings, full mechanical micro-switches across the face buttons, D-pad, and instant triggers, plus two rear shortcut buttons for roughly half the price of a wireless pro controller. We have not yet had a physical unit on our desk, so if the manufacturer's team would like to send over a review sample so we can put it through our full real-world testing protocol, our lab doors are wide open.
