In the meantime, have a gander at the controllers specs and features down below: There’s no confirmed release date at the moment, just a promise of sometime in October.
The NACON Revolution Pro Controller 3 for PS4 will release in the UK, Europe, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Middle East and India this October, and it’ll be priced between €99,90 – €109,90, though prices may vary by retailer. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been put to rest because my controller’s battery died mid-game. And as a bonus feature… you won’t have to charge the bloody thing. For some that may seem less than ideal, but for those eSports players looking to keep their competitive edge, those precious milliseconds of input lag on a wireless controller can make or break a tightly fought game. The big difference this time around is that it is a purely wired controller, not wireless. The NACON Revolution Pro Controller 3 will be the latest in the ongoing Revolution product line, and it’s to be an improvement over previous iterations, though still familiar for those who’ve gotten to grips with the previously released controllers. And after trying for hours to find the right split value for it just by trying hundreds of different ones, I don't have the energy or knowledge left to fix it.There’s another PS4 controller coming to market in just a few weeks, and it’s another officially licensed product from BigBen Interactive and NACON, so you know you’re in for a high-quality treat. Now after a reconnect of the device everything should work as intended except for pressing the Analog sticks (They don't send any signal in HID mode) and pressing both triggers at the same time since they are interpreted as one axis. #This is a key layout file for the BigBen Game Grip to make it work correctly in HID mode.Īxis 0x5 split 0x00008000 LTRIGGER RTRIGGER So after some research and hours of testing, I present you with an easy fix for the button layout (on rooted devices):Ĭreate the file /system/usr/keylayout/Vendor_0e6f_Product_0201.kl with the following content:
Then I tried Tincore and other similar apps, but they are really complicated and full of bloat I don't need anyway.
So playing games like that is mostly impossible.
Games (I tested with Goat simulator and Limelight root and some PC games) think the triggers control the Y Axis of the left analog stick etc. The right Analog stick is also incorrectly recognized and further messed up through the triggers. The 4 main buttons are messed up in their arrangement which leads to a bad layout in most games. If I enable the STG-ONE IME, an error message appears but otherwise there is no clue why nothing is working.Īt least in HID Mode (4), the Gamepad is working. In the Android(2) and Keyboard(3) mode, I can't get anything to work with the official APP.
The pairing via bluetooth worked mostly without any problems on my Z1 Compact running a rooted Cyanogenmod 11 (android 4.4.4). There are also Start and Select and a Home key(which turns the device on and off and starts the pairing together with start) and a slider for the 4 modes. In addition to that, it doesn't work with the right trigger on my device since it seems to be defective and only after a clearly felt and heard jump of the button, the press is registered as it should (at least hardware wise.). If you press really carefully at the bottom tip you can control the amount, but it is really difficult. L1 and R1 are normal buttons, but the triggers L2 and R2 are pressure sensitive even though they feels like normal buttons with a clear pressure point. But since I haven't had the chance to really play with it yet thanks to the software/firmware (more on that later), I can't really tell yet.
So if a game requires both at the same time, it could be rather difficult and painful after a while. But in that position you can't really use the analog sticks or the triggers well. If you grip the gamepad lower, you can easily use them though. The 4 buttons and the D-pad on the other hand are to low to be comfortable in a normal position. The analog sticks and buttons have a nice feel to them and the analog sticks are at a perfect position for my (normal sized) hands. But there is no danger of it falling out of the mechanism in normal use (not playing with the gamepad on its head). Even my Sony Xperia Z1 Compact fits, even though it is slightly to small and therefore not firmly in place. The phone/tablet holding mechanism can fit anything between around 13cm-29cm. Hardware wise, it seems to be mostly quite nice. Since I hate playing most games with touch screen controls on my phone or tablet, I got myself the Bigben BB325928 STG-ONE Tablet Game Grip (iOS, Android) schwarz
