The PXN P5: A Universal Controller Aiming for the Big Leagues
PXN has thrown its hat into the ring with the P5, a universal controller boasting impressive cross-compatibility. While mobile gaming often gets overlooked in controller innovation, the P5 aims to change that, promising compatibility across a wide range of devices.
This isn't your average console and PC controller. The P5 extends its reach to the Nintendo Switch, in-car systems, and, notably, mobile devices. The manufacturer highlights features like Dual Hall-effect magnetic joysticks and adjustable trigger sensitivity.
Priced at £29.99, the P5 will be available through PXN and Amazon. Its compatibility list is extensive, including PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, Android TV, and even Tesla vehicles.
A Universal Approach, But Will It Succeed?
PXN might be a relatively unknown brand in some circles, but the market for cross-compatible controllers, especially those encompassing mobile, is highly competitive. While dedicated smartphone controllers are somewhat limited, the P5's broad compatibility is a welcome addition.
The most surprising aspect? The Tesla compatibility. While niche, it clearly targets a specific segment of gamers.
