The PXN P5: A Universal Controller for All Your Devices?
PXN's latest offering, the P5 controller, aims to be the ultimate universal gaming input device. It boasts impressive specs and compatibility across a wide range of platforms, from consoles and PCs to even cars. But does this ambitious controller truly 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 largely limited to Bluetooth. The PXN P5 challenges this status quo, claiming compatibility with a vast array of devices.
This controller is marketed not just for consoles and PCs, but also for Nintendo Switch, in-car systems, and mobile devices. Featuring advanced technology like Dual Hall-effect magnetic joysticks and adjustable trigger sensitivity, the P5 aims to cater to diverse gaming styles.
The P5 will be available on PXN and Amazon for £29.99 and is compatible with: PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, Android TV, and Tesla.
Universal Appeal?
PXN isn't a widely known brand, but the market for cross-compatible mobile controllers is competitive, even if dedicated smartphone controllers leave something to be desired. While increased options are always welcome, the P5's Tesla compatibility is certainly intriguing. It suggests a niche market of gamers who appreciate this level of versatility.
