There are only a few officially licensed, third-party controllers for PS5, and all of them are designed to compete with the DualSense Edge. This means they carry prices in the $200 ballpark, but this weekend, one of those $200 controllers is on sale for $150: the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro for PS5, PS4, and PC. As part of Best Buy’s Gaming Sale, you can get the Revolution 5 Pro in black for its lowest price ever. The white version is on sale as well, but it’s priced higher at $180. It seems Amazon was briefly matching these deals but is now sold out of both color options. Best Buy’s Revolution 5 Pro deals are only available through Sunday, October 27.

There is some great technology under the hood of the Revolution 5 Pro. It has Hall Effect joysticks to help keep stick drift at bay, trigger-locks to decrease the travel distance on each pull, four customizable Omron microswitch back paddles, interchangeable weights, and several swappable thumbsticks. Interestingly, the D-Pad on this controller was created in partnership with professional fighting game player Mister Crimson, so if you’re a Street Fighter 6 or Mortal Kombat 1 player, you might want to check this out. If the exotic design doesn’t appeal to you, you can swap it out for a more traditional D-pad.

For compatibility, the Revolution 5 Pro will work on PS5, PS4, and PC. It has up to 10 hours of battery life from a full charge, and if you’re running low on juice, you can switch to a wired mode using the included USB-C to USB-A cable. It comes in two colors, white and black.

The Revolution 5 Pro is in competition with several other pro-style PlayStation controllers. Most notably, there’s the DualSense Edge, PlayStation’s premium first-party controller which costs $199. Our favorite third-party PS5 controller, the Victrix Pro BFG, is on sale right now, too. This modular PS5 controller normally retails for $180, but you can get the black Victrix Pro BFG for only $145, while the white variant is down to $155.

Victrix has also made a trio of Call of Duty-themed models, and two of these special editions are still available. In fact, the Field Op model just launched alongside Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The special-edition models retail for $200, but Amazon is also offering a discount on the Midnight Mask Call of Duty controller, which has a blue camouflage aesthetic.

The Pro BFG has four back buttons, trigger locks, and other normal customization features, but it also has a modular design that lets you swap the position of the left analog stick to offer aligned or offset layouts. There’s also a six-button module that’s great for fighting games. With multiple D-pad styles and detachable thumbstick caps, the Victrix Pro BFG is a well-rounded PlayStation and PC controller–it’s also available for Xbox/PC–that’s well worth considering. In fact, it’s one of our top picks for DualSense and Elite Series 2 alternatives on our best PS5 controllers and best Xbox controllers lists.

Another alternative is the Razer Wolverine V2 Pro, which is on sale for $224 (was $250). The Razer Wolverine V2 Pro is a really nice controller with a chunky design, making it great for anyone with big hands. This PS5 and PC controller has inputs with a shorter actuation distance for quicker button presses and an 8-way microswitch D-pad.
