Abxylute M5 and M6 Magnetic Smartphone Controllers Set to Bring Console-Style Gaming to Mobile
Abxylute is preparing to expand its mobile gaming accessory lineup with two new magnetic smartphone controllers: the Abxylute M5 and Abxylute M6. Designed for horizontal mobile gaming, both controllers aim to give smartphone players a more comfortable, console-like way to enjoy their favorite games on the go.
The company previously introduced the Abxylute M4 snap-on mobile controller in November 2025, positioning it as the first product in a new family of magnetic gaming accessories. Now, the upcoming M5 and M6 appear ready to build on that idea with a focus on portability, convenience, and landscape-mode gameplay.
Abxylute plans to launch the M5 and M6 through Kickstarter, following the same crowdfunding approach used for the M4. While full specifications have not yet been revealed, early details suggest that both controllers are built specifically for smartphones and are intended to be used in landscape orientation.
The Abxylute M6 is currently the more visible of the two models, with its design already shown ahead of the campaign. It features a magnetic attachment system that allows a smartphone to snap into place, making setup quick and simple. One of its standout design choices is a sliding mechanism that keeps the controller compact when not in use, then slides open to reveal the gaming controls.
The M6 includes a D-pad, two symmetrical thumbsticks, and ABXY buttons arranged in an Xbox-style layout. It also comes with in-line triggers, which should help with racing games, shooters, cloud gaming, and other titles that benefit from physical controls. Another interesting feature is its detachable magnetic grips, giving players the option to use a slimmer setup for travel or add more grip when they want a more traditional controller feel.
Details about the Abxylute M5 remain limited for now. Its final design has not been fully revealed, but early hints suggest it may be slimmer than the M6. That could make it a better choice for users who want a more pocket-friendly mobile controller without sacrificing the convenience of magnetic attachment.
The arrival of the Abxylute M5 and M6 could make the portable gaming controller market even more competitive. With cloud gaming, remote play, and high-performance mobile games becoming increasingly popular, accessories like these are gaining attention from players who want better control than touchscreen buttons can offer.
Abxylute has not yet announced when the Kickstarter campaign for the M5 and M6 will go live. More information about pricing, compatibility, battery life, supported phone sizes, and launch availability is expected once the campaign officially begins.
For mobile gamers looking for a compact magnetic controller for iPhone or Android devices, the Abxylute M5 and M6 may be worth watching closely. Their combination of snap-on convenience, landscape gaming support, and physical controls could make them appealing options for anyone who wants a more comfortable way to play smartphone games anywhere.
