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 promising compatibility across a wide range of devices. From consoles and PCs to cars (yes, cars!), the P5 boasts advanced features like Dual Hall-effect magnetic joysticks and adjustable trigger sensitivity. But does this ambitious controller truly deliver on its promises?

Mobile gaming often gets overlooked in the controller market, despite its massive popularity. While snap-on controllers exist, true cross-compatibility remains limited, usually relying solely on Bluetooth. The PXN P5 aims to change this, claiming compatibility with a vast array of platforms.

The P5 is marketed as a versatile controller for PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, Android TV, and even Tesla vehicles! Its impressive feature set includes the aforementioned Dual Hall-effect magnetic joysticks (the technical details of which remain somewhat mysterious to the average user) and customizable trigger sensitivity for personalized gameplay.

Available for £29.99 via PXN and Amazon, the P5's extensive compatibility is its standout feature.

A Sea of Compatibility

PXN isn't a household name in the gaming controller market. However, the demand for cross-compatible controllers, especially those catering to mobile gaming, is significant. While dedicated smartphone controllers may be lacking, the P5's broad compatibility is certainly welcome.

The most intriguing, and perhaps slightly perplexing, aspect of the P5 is its Tesla compatibility. While unexpected, it suggests a niche market of gamers who appreciate this level of cross-platform functionality.
