Nacon Launches the Revolution Pro X - SE Wireless Controller With Adjustable-Tension Hall Effect Sticks for €129.99
French gaming hardware manufacturer Nacon is expanding its competitive wireless controller lineup with a sharper, mechanics-first contender. Announced today, October 22, 2026, from its headquarters in Lesquin, the Nacon Revolution Pro X - SE (Special Edition) is an officially licensed Xbox wireless precision controller designed for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC, and Smart TVs. Priced at an MSRP of €129.99 / £109.99 and sporting a minimalist aesthetic inspired by Rogue Factor's action-adventure title Hell is Us, the controller focuses on on-the-fly physical customization and low-latency responsiveness.
On-the-Fly Mechanical Joystick Tension Ring and Hall Effect Sensors
The standout mechanical feature of the Revolution Pro X - SE sits directly around the base of its asymmetrical thumbsticks. Nacon has integrated a physical control ring that lets players adjust the mechanical resistance and tension of the joysticks with a single twist, without needing to pop off faceplates or reach for a hex key. Loosening the tension ring enables rapid directional snaps in close-quarters firefights or arcade racers, while tightening the mechanical resistance provides steadier thumb control for pixel-precise long-range tracking in tactical shooters and extraction games.
Beneath that adjustable tension mechanism, Nacon replaces traditional carbon-film potentiometers with contactless Hall Effect magnetic sensors. By eliminating internal physical friction when reading stick coordinates, the Hall Effect modules prevent mechanical wear and eradicate stick drift over time, checking off a mandatory requirement in our guide to the best PC controllers in 2026.
Nacon Revolution Pro X - SE Wireless Controller
Tactile Micro-Switches, 1,000Hz Wired PC Polling, and Hell is Us Display Stand
To shave precious milliseconds off input actuation, both the face buttons and the Instant Triggers are built around mechanical micro-switches. Instead of the mushy travel of standard silicone membrane pads, every press delivers a crisp, mouse-like click with ultra-short actuation distance, ideal for rapid semi-automatic fire. Around the back of the textured grips, two programmable shortcut buttons allow players to map essential actions like jumping, sliding, or reloading without ever lifting their thumbs off the sticks, complemented by a dedicated mic mute button on the front shell.
For living-room setups on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and compatible Smart TVs, the controller operates wirelessly via its included USB RF dongle. Competitive PC players who plug the controller in via USB-C unlock a 1,000Hz polling rate in wired mode, dropping input latency down to 1 millisecond. Visually, this Special Edition trades flashy RGB strips for a stealthy matte-black chassis etched with subtle topographic contour lines inspired by the art direction of Hell is Us, and ships in the box with a branded Revolution display stand and interchangeable stick accessories.
As Yannick Allaert, Director of the Accessories Division at Nacon, explained during the launch announcement, the goal behind the Revolution Pro X - SE was to package adjustable joystick tension, Hall Effect durability, and micro-switch speed into a full-featured precision controller at an accessible price point so every competitor can tailor the hardware to their exact grip and playstyle.

My Test Bench
Looking closely at the hardware architecture of the Revolution Pro X - SE, what stands out immediately to me is how smartly Nacon has trimmed the fat to hit that €129.99 (£109.99) price tag. Until now, Xbox and PC players who wanted official wireless connectivity paired with magnetic anti-drift sticks and physical tension adjustment usually had to spend €180 to €200+, as seen with the recently unveiled $199.99 Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra II or Nacon's own LCD-equipped Revolution X Unlimited.
By skipping the onboard screen and channeling the engineering budget directly into the core competitive essentials, namely the external tension adjustment ring, Hall Effect thumbsticks, micro-switch Instant Triggers, and a 1,000Hz (1ms) wired PC polling rate, Nacon delivers a no-nonsense esports pad. Being able to physically stiffen the right thumbstick with a quick twist of the outer collar before holding a long sniper angle, without digging for a screwdriver or opening companion software mid-match, is a massive practical advantage. Paired with the understated Hell is Us topographic shell and included desk stand, this Special Edition hits one of the sharpest price-to-performance sweet spots in late 2026.
