PXN P5 Unveiled: Game-Changing Controller Redefines Compatibility

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. From consoles and PCs to even cars, the P5 boasts impressive tech specs, including Dual Hall-effect magnetic joysticks and adjustable trigger sensitivity. But does this ambitious controller truly deliver what gamers need and want?

Mobile gaming often gets overlooked in the controller market, despite its immense popularity. While snap-on controllers exist, significant innovation in cross-compatibility remains scarce, mostly limited to Bluetooth. The PXN P5 aims to change that, claiming compatibility far beyond the norm.

The P5 is marketed not only as a controller for consoles and PCs but also for Nintendo Switch, in-car systems, and mobile devices. Its features include the aforementioned Dual Hall-effect magnetic joysticks (the specifics of which remain somewhat mysterious) and customizable trigger sensitivity.

Available for £29.99 on PXN and Amazon, the P5 boasts compatibility with: PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, Android TV, and Tesla.

A Question of Universality

PXN is a relatively unknown brand, but that doesn't necessarily reflect on product quality. However, the market for truly cross-compatible controllers, especially those encompassing mobile devices, is highly competitive. While dedicated smartphone controllers are often lacking, more options are always welcome.

The most striking aspect of the P5 is its Tesla compatibility. While unexpected, it suggests a niche market of dedicated gamers exists within the Tesla community.
