The PXN P5: A Universal Controller for Everything From Consoles to Cars?
PXN has launched the P5, a universal controller promising compatibility across a vast range of devices. From consoles to PCs, even cars (yes, really!), this controller boasts advanced features like Dual Hall-effect magnetic joysticks and adjustable trigger sensitivity. But will this ambitious controller meet the needs and desires of gamers?
Mobile gaming often feels underserved when it comes to controller innovation. While snap-on controllers exist, true cross-compatibility remains largely limited to Bluetooth. The PXN P5 aims to change that, claiming compatibility with a remarkably diverse range 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 adjustable triggers for personalized gameplay.
The P5 will retail for £29.99 and be available through PXN and Amazon.
Universal Appeal?
PXN is a relatively unknown brand in many markets. However, the market for truly cross-compatible mobile controllers is competitive, even if dedicated smartphone controllers leave much to be desired.
While welcoming increased controller options, the P5's Tesla compatibility remains intriguing. It suggests a niche market of gamers exists within the Tesla community.
For those considering the P5 to jumpstart their gaming journey, streaming might be a worthwhile alternative. For more on streaming setups, check out our review of the Wavo POD Streamer Set!
