abxylute has announced the P5 Gaming Controller for the PlayStation 5, featuring Hall effect joysticks, adaptive triggers, programmable rear buttons, and support for multiple platforms. Priced at $75.99 during its early-bird offer, the new PS5 Controller also works with PC, Android, and iOS devices.
The abxylute P5 features a symmetrical button layout, with conductive rubber switches used for the shoulder buttons, directional buttons, and function buttons. Its Hall effect joysticks use magnetic sensors to detect movement without relying on conventional physical-contact sensing, which can help reduce wear-related stick drift.
The controller also includes a built-in six-axis gyroscope and a clickable, two-point capacitive touchpad. Players can choose between two joystick output modes and customize their controls using the two programmable buttons integrated into the back of the controller.
For additional in-game feedback, the P5 combines adaptive triggers with a voice coil motor. It also supports Turbo input, allowing repeated button inputs without requiring players to press the same button continuously.
Connectivity includes wired and Bluetooth modes, with polling rates of 250Hz over a wired connection and 700Hz over Bluetooth. However, the polling rate alone does not determine total input latency, which also depends on the connection, game, and system.
The abxylute P5 is powered by a built-in 1,500mAh battery rated for up to eight hours of use. It weighs approximately 285 grams, making it a full-size controller option for players who want additional controls and cross-platform compatibility.
At its early-bird price of $75.99, the abxylute P5 combines Hall effect sticks, adaptive triggers, motion controls, and rear-button customization in a single gamepad. Its final value will depend on how well these features perform in everyday gaming and how it compares with other controllers in the same price range.
