The PXN P5: A Universal Controller for All Your Gaming Needs?
PXN's latest offering, the P5 controller, aims to be the ultimate all-in-one gaming solution. This ambitious controller boasts compatibility across a wide range of devices, from consoles and PCs to even cars (Teslas, specifically!). But does this level of universality translate to a quality product that gamers will actually want?
Mobile gaming often feels underserved in the controller market. While snap-on controllers exist, true innovation and cross-compatibility remain limited, usually restricted to Bluetooth connections. The PXN P5, however, promises to break this mold.
Marketing materials highlight features like Dual Hall-effect magnetic joysticks and adjustable trigger sensitivity. These features, along with its extensive compatibility, suggest a controller designed for serious gamers.
The P5 will retail for £29.99 and is available through PXN and Amazon. Its compatibility list includes: PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, Android TV, and surprisingly, Tesla vehicles.
Universal Appeal?
PXN is a relatively unknown brand in some markets. While this doesn't inherently reflect on product quality, the market for cross-compatible mobile controllers is competitive, even if dedicated smartphone controllers often fall short.
The P5's most intriguing, and perhaps confusing, feature is its Tesla compatibility. While niche, it certainly caters to a specific type of gamer.
