Cloud streaming and mobile gaming are quickly becoming some of the most common ways to stay up on your backlog. While on-screen controls work fine, there is nothing like tactile buttons when it comes to certain types of games. There are many mobile controllers on the market, but abxylute (pronounced Absolute) aims to break through all mobile gaming limitations with their M5 and M6 controllers.
The M5 Mobile Controller provides the user with a slim and pocketable design. This version of the controller uses tactile switches and can be connected to your phone via a wired connection. This ensures that the controller maintains its slim form factor. The M5 is perfect for those who want a better gameplay experience on the go without being weighed down.
The M6 Mobile Controller steps it up a notch. You can connect to your phone via Bluetooth or with an included USB-C cable to ensure the best connection. The form factor is more ergonomic and includes things like a dedicated macro button, customizable vibration, and 6-axis motion control support. There is also an integrated 500mAh battery to extend those more intense play sessions. Check out the graphic below for more features and comparisons.
Both the M5 and M6 Controllers are highly customizable through the free abxy app that is available for both Android and iPhones. The app is a place for your entire mobile gaming library. Here you can find all games that are compatible with the controllers, games you have purchased, and some of your various launchers.
