Overview
- Abxylute introduced the M6 and M5 on Kickstarter with Early Bird prices starting at $59 and reported rapid early backing that far exceeded its funding goal.
- The M6 is the full-featured model with Bluetooth 5.3 and wired USB‑C, capacitive thumbsticks meant to prevent stick drift, Hall-effect linear triggers with a Hair Trigger Mode, a 500mAh battery and built-in touchscreen mapping.
- The M5 is the ultra-thin option at about 8.5mm that drops Bluetooth for a USB‑C only connection, offers pass-through charging, no battery to charge, and low-profile thumbsticks for maximum portability.
- Both controllers use an adjustable magnetic mount and a bidirectional damped slide rail the company rates to hold phones and cases up to roughly 300 grams with strong magnetic retention, and they sync with a free abxy app for profiles and tuning.
- Observers note standard crowdfunding risks because Abxylute’s sliding mechanism, magnetic mount and capacitive sticks have not yet been widely tested, so long-term durability and real-world performance will shape user reception and delivery outcomes.
