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 to cars (yes, really!), the P5 boasts advanced features like Dual Hall-effect magnetic joysticks and adjustable trigger sensitivity. But does this ambitious controller truly deliver?

Mobile gaming often gets overlooked, despite its immense popularity. While snap-on controllers exist, true cross-compatibility innovation remains scarce. The PXN P5 aims to change that, claiming compatibility beyond the usual Bluetooth limitations.

This controller isn't just for consoles and PCs; it's designed for Nintendo Switch, in-car systems, and mobile devices. Its advanced features include customizable triggers and, as mentioned, Dual Hall-effect magnetic joysticks.

The P5 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.

A Universal Appeal?

PXN is a relatively unknown brand, but the P5 enters a competitive market. While dedicated smartphone controllers are limited, the sheer breadth of the P5's compatibility is noteworthy.

The most surprising aspect? Its Tesla compatibility. While niche, it highlights the controller's ambitious scope.
