  Grasp the directional cross joystick head with two fingers and pull.
  
• Install a new joystick head or directional cross: Position the head or cross on its dedicated slot and press until the part engages and you hear a "click".
  
• Change the joystick shaft:
  Changing the shaft on your left or right joystick allows you to get a more reactive or precise response on certain games. To change the joystick shaft, you must:
  • Remove the joystick head by pulling on it gently;
  • Remove the joystick shaft by pulling it;
  • Put the desired joystick shaft in place;
  • Fit the underside of the joystick head and match the shape with the shape in the top of the shaft. Press gently until you feel the joystick head 'click' in to position.
    
• Change the hand grip weights: To replace the weights, push and slide down the hand grip covers to remove them. Insert the desired weight and slide the cover back in position until you hear a "click".
  
  Use this external microphone to communicate with your teammates efficiently. This simple plug-in Jack microphone is ideal to communicate in combination with your Bluetooth headset for example.
  
  The controller uses Bluetooth 5.2 technology to connect with in-ear audio devices or other wireless headsets. In this situation the Bluetooth, and RF communication to the USB dongle, operate simultaneously without interference. Audio from the PlayStation 5 console, will be heard through your Bluetooth connected device. When you want to chat please attach the External MIC to the 3.5mm audio socket of the controller.

Note that when a wired headset is connected to the 3.5mm audio socket, of the controller, the Bluetooth function will be disabled.

Information about wireless communication

This controller uses 2.4GHz radio frequency range, so you may notice some issues if other products use the same radio frequency range.

Nacon validated operability between the PlayStation^®5 console (CFI-1000 series) and this controller.

It is recommended to insert the USB dongle into the USB port at the front of your PlayStation^®5 console (CFI-1000 series).

The controller uses Bluetooth 5.2 technology to communicate with Bluetooth^® in-ear audio devices or other wireless headsets. In this situation, Bluetooth and RF communication operate simultaneously without interference. It is also possible to connect the external microphone to the 3.5mm jack port for data transmission from the microphone. If headphones are connected to the jack, audio and microphone data will only be transmitted via the audio jack and Bluetooth will be disabled.

If a wired headset is connected to the 3.5mm jack port, it is not possible to connect or pair a Bluetooth^® headset or in-ear headphones to the controller. If you try, the light ring around the Right joystick, will flash Red for 5 seconds to indicate that this action is not recognized.

If in-ear audio devices are connected to the jack port, it will not be possible to pair or connect in-ear headphones or wireless headphones.

Hall effect technology

By using Hall effect technology, which is based on the use of magnetic sensors and magnets, it will prevent friction and mechanical wear on key components. Consequently, the lifespan is greatly increased compared to traditional mechanisms.

Vibration

The controller is equipped with a vibration engine which is only compatible with PC* and PS4™ games. In PS5^® mode on PS5^® games played on the PS5^® console, the controller will not vibrate.

Classic & Advanced modes

Classic mode: your controller will act as a classic DualSense^® wireless controller, DUALSHOCK^®4 wireless controller, or PC controller.

You can access the following customization options "on the fly" without the need for any App:

• Mapping of the 4 rear shortcut buttons.
• Trigger travel data range, via the trigger stopper position.
• Audio control, via the touch pad.

Advanced mode: access using the Revolution 5 Pro App for the full customization experience.
Download the App at https://nacongaming.com/revolution-5-pro and follow the tutorial. Enjoy!

Your controller is pre-loaded with 4 profiles so you can experience the range of features.

Profile 1: Racing - Sports - adapted for racing and sports games

Profile 2: FPS – adapted with a reactive curve on your Left joystick for quick movement and a progressive curve on the Right joystick for precision aiming.

Profile 3: Arcade - Fighting – adapted with an instant curve on the Left and Right joysticks for a quicker reaction time.

How to charge your Revolution 5 pro controller

1. The Revolution 5 pro controller contains a Lithium Ion battery.
2. To charge the battery connect the USB-A to USB-C cable to your PS5^® console, PS4^TM console or PC and then to the controller. For the fastest charge time, make sure your controller is powered OFF. If you wish to use the controller and charge at the same time, then the battery will 'trickle' charge and the charge time will be extended.
3. To check the battery level in PS5^® mode when you are connected via the cable, tap the back of the controller twice. The White LEDs below the touch pad will light up. There are 5x LEDs and they indicate the level as follows:
   5x LEDs = 100–80%
   4x LEDs = 80–60%
   3x LEDs = 60–40%
   2x LEDs = 40–20%
   1 x LED = 20–10%
   NOTE: When the battery level is below 10%, the 1x LED will start to flash. You need to immediately charge the battery.
   To check the battery level in PS5^® mode when you are connected via the USB dongle, then go to the PS5^® on-screen menu and you will see the battery level in the bottom left of your TV/Monitor screen.
   To check the battery level, in PS4 mode or PC mode, tap the back of the controller twice. The White LEDs below the touch pad, will light up. There are 5x LEDs and they indicate the capacity as follows:
   5x LEDs = 100–80%
   4x LEDs = 80–60%
   3x LEDs = 60–40%
   2x LEDs = 40–20%
   1x LED = 20–10%

NOTE: When the battery level is below 10%, the 1x LED will start to flash. You need to immediately charge the battery.

REMARK: Battery life is influenced by the features you have activated and the games you are playing. The more features you have activated, the quicker your battery life will be used.
To optimize play time, you can use the Revolution 5 Pro App to disable certain features such as LEDs and vibration.
