The PXN P5: A Universal Controller for Everything From Consoles to Cars?
PXN has launched the P5, a universal controller promising compatibility across a wide range of devices. But does this ambitious controller deliver on its promises, and is it truly what gamers need?
Mobile gaming often feels underserved when it comes to controller innovation. While snap-on controllers exist, true cross-compatibility remains limited, typically relying on Bluetooth. The PXN P5 aims to change that, claiming compatibility with everything from consoles to cars, and of course, mobile devices.
Featuring advanced technology like Dual Hall-effect magnetic joysticks and adjustable trigger sensitivity, the P5 targets a broad audience. It's marketed as a versatile solution for PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, Android TV, and even Tesla vehicles!
Priced at £29.99, the P5 will be available from PXN and Amazon.
Cross-Platform Compatibility: A Challenging Landscape
PXN might be a relatively unknown brand to some, but the market for truly cross-compatible controllers, especially those that seamlessly integrate with mobile, is highly competitive. While dedicated smartphone controllers may be lacking, increased options are always welcome.
The most surprising aspect of the P5 is its Tesla compatibility. While niche, it suggests a potential market for in-car gaming enthusiasts.
