The PXN P5: A Universal Controller for All Your Devices?
PXN has launched the P5, a universal controller promising compatibility with a wide array of devices. From consoles and PCs to cars, the P5 boasts impressive tech specs, including Dual Hall-effect magnetic joysticks and adjustable trigger sensitivity. But does it live up to the hype?
Mobile gaming often gets overlooked in the controller market, despite its popularity. While snap-on controllers exist, true cross-compatibility remains limited. The PXN P5 aims to change this, claiming compatibility with everything from the Nintendo Switch to in-car systems and, of course, mobile devices.
Priced at £29.99, the P5 will be available through PXN and Amazon. Its impressive compatibility list includes: PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, Android TV, and even Tesla vehicles!
A Question of Universality
PXN isn't a household name in the controller market, but the P5's broad compatibility is a bold move. The mobile controller landscape is competitive, and even dedicated smartphone controllers often fall short.
While increased competition is welcome, the P5's Tesla compatibility is somewhat perplexing. Nevertheless, the P5's versatility might appeal to a niche audience of dedicated gamers.
