Nacon Limited Edition Controllers – The Pro Compact Colorlight and Camo Revolution X Pro

I think I've made it fairly well-known in my reviews for Thumb Culture that I'm not a big controller user. Apart from the brief session on my PlayStation now and then, my Steam Deck is as close as I get. But I couldn't pass up the chance at trying out some new hardware. For this review, I got my hands on two limited edition controllers - the Nacon Pro Compact Colorlight Controller and the Nacon Camo Revolution X Pro Controller. I do believe I have my Steam Deck to thank for me being capable of using them! Nacon's Controllers Are Made For Lasting Use Each of these Nacon Limited Edition Controllers can be found directly from Nacon's website or from Amazon dependent upon availability. They normally run around $40/€55 for the Nacon Pro Compact Colorlight and $99/€99 for the Nacon Camo Re...

DualSense Edge – Review

The DualSense Edge, Sony's "Pro" controller released on the 26th of January this year. It marked a significant step forward for Sony, who had left pro controllers to 3rd parties such as Scuff, Nacon and Razer. Truly Impressive Tech As a lifelong gamer, I have never needed a pro controller. I always felt that you were paying a premium price for better battery life and some flappy back buttons. Maybe that was a naive view to have but for the best part of close to 40 years, I had "managed" without, so why should I start now? In my opinion, the DualSense controller is the best console controller to date, beating the likes of the Super Nintendo, and the DualShock 4. One of my concerns about the DualSense Edge is the price of £209 in the UK. This is nearly approaching half the price of the ...

Nacon Camo Pro Compact Review

Nacon, known for its epic range of third-party peripherals just keep on improving year after year. With each release comes better tech or an uplift in quality. Earlier this year Nacon released another third-party controller for the Xbox S|X and PC called the Nacon Camo Pro Compact. Compact & Comfortable! Usually, I am a buy official or go home kind of gamer. As a kid, I always ended up with the knock-off controller at a friend's house. They were always sub-par and the quality was never there. However, it feels like the technology has moved on (a lot) and I am pretty excited to check out what Nacon have bought to the table. Design The Nacon Camo Pro Compact is available in two colourways, Forest Camo and the version I have, Urban Camo. Both look great but for me, the Urban Camo vers...
