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

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 snap-on controllers exist, true cross-compatibility remains limited, typically relying on Bluetooth. The PXN P5, however, claims to break this mold.

Marketing emphasizes its use beyond consoles and PCs, extending to the Nintendo Switch, in-car systems, and mobile devices. Features include Dual Hall-effect magnetic joysticks and adjustable trigger sensitivity.

Priced at £29.99, the P5 will be available through PXN and Amazon. Compatibility includes PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, Android TV, and even Tesla vehicles.

Universality and Market Competition

PXN is a relatively unknown brand, but the market for cross-compatible mobile controllers is competitive. While dedicated smartphone controllers are lacking, the P5 aims to fill this gap.

The most surprising aspect is its Tesla compatibility. While niche, it suggests a market for high-end gaming within vehicles.

For those considering the P5 to jump into gaming, streaming might be a worthwhile alternative. For more information on streaming setups, check out our review of the Wavo POD Streamer Set.
