The PXN P5: A Universal Controller for All Your Gaming Needs?
PXN is launching the P5, a universal controller aiming for compatibility across multiple platforms. This ambitious device promises support for everything from consoles and PCs to cars and mobile devices, a significant leap in cross-platform gaming control. 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, usually relying solely on Bluetooth. The PXN P5 aims to change this with its claimed compatibility across a wide range of devices.
The P5 boasts features like Dual Hall-effect magnetic joysticks and adjustable trigger sensitivity. Priced at £29.99, it 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 Challenges
PXN is a relatively unknown brand in the gaming controller market. However, the market for cross-compatible mobile controllers is competitive, and even dedicated smartphone controllers often fall short. While increased options are welcome, the P5's Tesla compatibility is particularly intriguing, suggesting a niche market of in-car gamers.
If this controller sparks a new interest in gaming, streaming might be a worthwhile avenue to explore. For those interested, our review of the Wavo POD Streamer Set provides insights into a user-friendly streaming solution.
