The PXN P5 is the latest attempt to make a truly universal gaming controller

The PXN P5: A Universal Controller for All Your Gaming Needs?

PXN has launched the P5, a universal controller promising compatibility across a wide range of devices. From consoles and PCs to cars (yes, cars!), the P5 boasts advanced features like dual Hall-effect magnetic joysticks and adjustable trigger sensitivity. But does this ambitious controller truly deliver on its promise?

Mobile gaming often gets overlooked in controller innovation, despite its immense popularity. While snap-on controllers exist, cross-compatibility remains limited, typically relying on Bluetooth. The PXN P5 aims to change this, claiming compatibility with a vast array of platforms.

The P5 is marketed as a versatile controller for PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, Android TV, and even Tesla vehicles! Its advanced features include customizable trigger sensitivity, catering to individual play styles.

Priced at £29.99, the P5 will be available through PXN and Amazon.

Universal Appeal?

PXN is a relatively unknown brand in the gaming controller market. However, the market for cross-compatible mobile controllers is competitive, even if dedicated smartphone controllers often fall short. While increased options are welcome, the P5's Tesla compatibility is particularly intriguing. Clearly, there's a niche market for in-car gaming!
