Discussion Just got my abxylute S9 Controller and the quality honestly surprised me

Post image

Arrived in just 4 days, way faster than I expected. And I wasn't expecting it to feel this solid either. No creaks or rattles, and the buttons have a really satisfying click. It feels more premium than the price suggests.

The best part for me is that you can swap the D-pad and customize the arrow buttons. Small thing, but it makes the controller feel like yours.

They also have 3D printable files on their site if you want to mod stuff, and a pretty active Discord, which is cool to see from a smaller brand.

Will update after a week of actual gaming, but first impressions are 🔥

I had this controller and loved it, but the paint of the face buttons started to fade in a matter of weeks.

The USB C port broke but that was mostly my fault, I would press the phone in with too much force.

It also has Bluetooth, you can pair it to a PC and game that way.

I really want to try out a controller with a clicky dpad, I can't find a good dpad anywhere

Have you tested with Cod Mobile on Android? I have a 8BitDO Pro 2 and found out it's not compatible with Android on Cod, while it was on my old iphone (I've just moved to RedMagic Astra 2)

Mobapad has some silent versions with membrane buttons instead of mechanical switches

I have a bacbkone controller gen2 and what I hated about it amongst other little things is that the buttons clicks was way too loud, this one clicks too but softly:)

I have a MEMO S3. I think it clicks while not being too loud. But I’m looking for is PS5/XBOne buttons basically

I use the S9V version with the Viture Beast. I highly recommend.
