PXN P5: The Ultimate Controller for All Platforms

The PXN P5: A Universal Controller for Everything from Consoles to Cars?

PXN has launched the P5, a universal controller promising compatibility with a wide range of devices. This controller boasts advanced features and aims to bridge the gap between different gaming platforms, but will it live up to the hype?

Mobile gaming often gets overlooked in the controller market, despite its massive popularity. While snap-on controllers exist, true cross-compatibility remains a challenge, typically limited to Bluetooth. The PXN P5 aims to change that, claiming compatibility across multiple platforms.

The P5 isn't just for consoles and PCs; it's designed to work with the Nintendo Switch, in-car systems, and even mobile devices. It features Dual Hall-effect magnetic joysticks and adjustable trigger sensitivity, catering to various play styles.

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.

Cross-Platform Compatibility: A Challenging Landscape

PXN is a relatively unknown brand in some markets. However, the market for truly cross-compatible controllers, especially those encompassing mobile devices, is fiercely competitive. While dedicated smartphone controllers are lacking in innovation, more options are always welcome.

The most surprising aspect of the P5 is its Tesla compatibility. While niche, it suggests a dedicated market of gamers utilizing this technology.
