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

PXN has launched the P5, a universal controller promising compatibility across numerous platforms. This raises the question: is it a solution gamers need, or simply another option?

Mobile gaming often lacks the controller innovation it deserves, despite its popularity. While snap-on controllers exist, cross-compatibility generally limits itself to Bluetooth. The PXN P5 aims to break this mold, claiming compatibility with everything from consoles to cars.

Marketing highlights include dual Hall-effect magnetic joysticks and adjustable trigger sensitivity. The controller will retail for £29.99 on PXN and Amazon, offering compatibility with PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, Android TV, and even Tesla vehicles.

Universality and Market Competition

PXN is a relatively unknown brand in the gaming controller market. The landscape for cross-compatible controllers, especially those designed for mobile, is 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 market for in-car gaming that many may not have considered.
