Retro style meets modern layout with Abxylute’s S9 Retro SNES Grey Edition, now up for pre-order at a limited-time Early Bird price. Designed with a nostalgic SNES-inspired finish, the controller swaps to an Xbox-style ABXY arrangement, giving longtime fans a familiar look with a contemporary button layout preferred by many modern gamers.
Pre-orders are live at $62 until November 20. After that, the Retro Grey Edition moves to its $89 MSRP, with the possibility of additional Black Friday promotions. Early Bird pre-orders are slated to begin shipping by mid-November, so early buyers won’t have long to wait.
To sweeten the deal, each pre-order includes a surprise bonus accessory chosen at random. You could unbox colored faceplates, a new d-pad, or joystick caps—an easy way to customize your gamepad right out of the box.
There’s also a chance to score one for free. Abxylute is giving away ten Retro SNES Grey Edition controllers.
