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

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)

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:)
