The PXN P5 is the latest attempt to make a truly universal gaming controller

PXN P5: A Universal Controller for All Your Devices?

PXN has launched the P5, a universal controller aiming for compatibility across a wide range of devices. Its features include advanced technology like Dual Hall-effect magnetic joysticks and adjustable trigger sensitivity. But does this ambitious controller deliver on its promise?

Mobile gaming often gets overlooked in controller innovation, despite its immense popularity. While snap-on controllers exist, true cross-compatibility remains limited. The PXN P5 aims to change this, claiming compatibility with consoles, PCs, and even in-car systems.

The P5 is marketed as a versatile solution for PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, Android TV, and surprisingly, Tesla vehicles. Priced at £29.99, it will be available through PXN and Amazon.

Cross-Platform Compatibility: A Challenging Market

PXN is a relatively unknown brand in the controller market. However, the demand for truly cross-compatible controllers, especially those accommodating mobile devices, is significant. While dedicated smartphone controllers are somewhat lacking, increased competition is always welcome.

The most unusual aspect of the P5 is its Tesla compatibility. While intriguing, it highlights the controller's broad appeal, catering even to a niche audience of in-car gamers.
