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

The PXN P5: A Universal Controller for Everything?

PXN has launched the P5, a universal controller promising compatibility across a wide range of devices. This ambitious controller aims to bridge the gap between consoles, PCs, and even cars, but does it deliver on its promise?

Mobile gaming often feels underserved in the controller market. While snap-on controllers exist, true innovation and cross-compatibility remain scarce, usually limited to Bluetooth. The PXN P5, however, claims to break this mold.

Marketing materials highlight its compatibility with PC, Mac, iOS, Android, Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, Android TV, and even Tesla systems. Technical features include Dual Hall-effect magnetic joysticks and adjustable trigger sensitivity. The P5 will retail for £29.99 on PXN and Amazon.

A Universal Appeal?

PXN isn't a household name, but the market for cross-compatible mobile controllers is undeniably competitive. While dedicated smartphone controllers are somewhat lacking, increased options are always welcome. The most surprising aspect of the P5 is its Tesla compatibility—a niche market indeed.
