A new limited edition controller by accessory giant NACON has been announced this week to celebrate the 20th birthday of the Xbox 360. Unfortunately, the controller won’t actually be available until February, but it’s the thought that counts right?!
Fans of the retro styling will love this new pad coming soon as NACON is releasing a 360 style controller in honour of the 20th anniversary of the console.
The new controller is named the REVOLUTION X UNLIMITED and comes with a ton of customisable features as well as some classic design features you may recognise from the glory days of the Xbox 360.
Per the team at NACON:
- Instant Triggers: adjustable instant triggers with micro-switch components.
- Mechanical Precision: micro-switch components for ultra-responsive gameplay.
- 6 additional shortcut buttons that can be configured with keyboard keys pc mode only.
- Customization via LCD Screen: easy and intuitive customization, mapping programming, and audio source mixing.
- Hall Effect Magnetic Technology: joysticks and triggers benefit from greatly enhanced precision and durability through magnetic effect, preventing “joystick drift”.
- Wireless Connectivity: 2.4GHz USB radio frequency, Bluetooth compatible with Android devices.
- Total Customization: 3 sets of weights, 6 joystick heads, 2 D-pads, storage case, 4 joystick rings (two medium and two large), and more than 60 customization options.
- Application: possibility to import up to 4 custom profiles per platform and program the 6 shortcut keys via a customization application available on PC and Xbox. Specific programming of shortcut keys to assign them to keyboard keys (in PC mode). Joystick range adjustment, audio mixers and pre-recorded profiles available.
- Vibration: four vibration motors (two in the handles and two in the triggers).
- High-Performance PC Mode: latency reduced to 1ms with wired connection and 2ms with wireless connection, Gyroscope function to simulate a joystick or the D-pad. Mapping of PC keyboard keys to controller buttons.
- Long Battery Life: +10 hours battery life for extended gameplay without needing to recharge the controller.
- Charging dock : store and charge your controller easily in six hours with the included charging station.
Our Editor-in-Chief Jon reviewed one of the REVOLUTION X UNLIMITED controllers back in may, and was suitably impressed, saying “I’ve come away from my time with the Revolution X Unlimited pretty impressed with what NACON have put together here. There’s a ton of great design features available for a gamer that wants to have the very best in responsiveness and customisation, but it’s also a really solid, versatile controller for gamers that want something that works across both PC and Xbox.“
