Abxylute is introducing the M4, a lightweight snap-on controller built for gaming on the go. According to the company, the M4 weighs just 55 g without its detachable magnetic stand, yet packs a battery rated for up to 13 hours of play between charges. That combination of low weight and long battery life makes it an appealing companion for extended mobile sessions.
The control layout is designed to feel familiar and precise. You get ABXY buttons, in-line triggers, a relatively large directional pad, and analog sticks styled after the PSP for smoother movement and accuracy. Abxylute is also offering the M4 in multiple finishes—Black Translucent, Grey, and Orange—each with its own matching button colors for a more personalized look.
Early backers can secure the M4 through its Kickstarter campaign for $39, a 20% discount off the planned retail price. The campaign runs until December 12, with initial shipments set to begin in mid-December. Afterward, the controller is slated to be sold on Abxylute’s website for $49.99.
