Abxylute is introducing two new telescopic controllers for smartphones, giving mobile gamers a way to attach physical gamepads without carrying bulky accessories. The M5 and M6 models attach directly to the back of phones via Magsafe and connect through Bluetooth, offering a portable gaming solution that slides out only when needed. This design allows players to keep their phones slim during casual use while gaining full control for gaming sessions.
Two distinct models offer compact and full-grip options for mobile gamers
The company unveiled two distinct models to address different portability needs. The M6 transforms from a compact unit into a full grip, providing a traditional controller feel for intensive gameplay. The M5 takes a different approach by being built to be exceptionally slim, prioritizing minimal profile over extended grip length.
Specifications
- Connectivity: Magsafe, Bluetooth
- Form Factor: Telescopic/Sliding
- Models: M6 (compact to full grip), M5 (exceptionally slim)
Both controllers rely on Magsafe compatibility for secure attachment and Bluetooth connectivity for input transmission. The telescopic design ensures the hardware remains hidden when not in use, reducing bulk in pockets or bags. The form factor closely resembles the existing MCON controller, suggesting a familiar user experience for those already familiar with the brand's previous hardware.
Abxylute confirmed that both the M5 and M6 will launch on Kickstarter in the near future. Specific pricing details and exact release dates remain unknown at this time. The company is currently soliciting interest from backers to gauge demand for these two distinct portability concepts.
We are waiting for the Kickstarter campaign to reveal concrete pricing and availability windows. Until then, the M5 and M6 represent Abxylute's latest attempt to merge smartphone convenience with dedicated gaming controls.
