Abxylute Launches $79.99 S9V Controller for Viture XR Glasses

Summary

  • $79.99 is the launch price for Abxylute’s S9V Type-C Mobile Controller, a new telescopic gamepad built to connect Viture XR glasses through a dedicated USB-C port on the right grip.
  • The S9V is a variant of Abxylute’s S9 and adds pass-through charging via a bottom USB-C port, but drops the standard model’s 3.5mm audio jack and leaves audio support on the center USB-C port unclear.
  • Full-size Hall Effect joysticks and analog triggers, programmable back buttons, a screenshot key, dual vibration motors, gyroscope and turbo are included, along with interchangeable sticks, D-pads and six silicone spacers.
  • The controller supports Android and iOS USB-C devices, works with X-input, Switch, PlayStation and Android modes, and fits phones or compact tablets up to 216mm long.
  • The launch gives Viture users a second major controller option after 8BitDo introduced a compatible model last year at the same $79.99 price.
