The PXN P5: A Universal Controller for All Your Gaming Needs?
PXN has launched the P5, a universal controller aiming for broad compatibility. It boasts advanced features and promises to work with everything from consoles to cars, but will it live up to the hype?
Mobile gaming often gets overlooked in controller innovation. While adaptable snap-on controllers exist, true cross-compatibility remains limited, usually relying on Bluetooth. The PXN P5 aims to change this, claiming compatibility across multiple platforms.
The P5 is marketed as a versatile controller for PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, Android TV, and even Tesla vehicles! It features Dual Hall-effect magnetic joysticks and adjustable trigger sensitivity.
Priced at £29.99, the P5 will be available through PXN and Amazon.
Universality and Market Competition
PXN is a relatively unknown brand in the gaming controller market. The market for cross-compatible controllers, especially those including mobile devices, is competitive, with even smartphone-specific controllers lacking innovation in many cases.
However, increased competition is generally welcome. The most surprising aspect of the P5's compatibility is its inclusion of Tesla vehicles. While niche, this suggests a potential market of dedicated gamers.
