Abxylute has officially launched the M4 Snap-On Mobile Controller on Kickstarter. It’s an ultra-compact gaming accessory that magnetically attaches to the back of your smartphone for console-style play on the go. Unlike traditional clamp-style controllers, the M4 uses magnets to snap securely onto phones with MagSafe or Qi2-compatible magnetic rings, including iPhones and newer Android devices. And Abxylute includes magnetic adhesive rings for devices without built-in magnets.
Weighing just around 56 grams, the M4 is designed to stay pocket-friendly while still giving you dual thumbsticks, a D-pad, ABXY buttons, shoulder triggers, and navigation controls. This is all in a familiar handheld layout beneath your screen. It connects over Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless play and is compatible with a wide range of devices, from iOS and Android phones to PCs and even the Nintendo Switch for cloud or native gaming.
The built-in rechargeable battery is rated for roughly 12–13 hours of playtime, making it suitable for longer sessions whether you’re cloud gaming, emulating classics, or playing mobile titles with controller support. Because the M4 snaps on magnetically, you can also detach it and use it as a standalone wireless controller when needed.
Abxylute M4 Snap-On features:
• Magnetic snap-on design for MagSafe/Qi2 phones (with adapter rings for other devices)
• Bluetooth 5.3 wireless connectivity
• Dual thumbsticks, D-pad, ABXY buttons, and triggers
• Ultra-lightweight at ~56 g
• 12–13 hours of battery life
• Available in multiple colors, with more coming through stretch goals
The Kickstarter campaign launched on November 13, 2025, with early-bird pricing starting at around $39, making it significantly more affordable than other magnetic mobile controllers on the market. The campaign has already surpassed its funding goal, reflecting strong demand from mobile gamers looking for a pocket-ready controller that feels like a true handheld console.
The M4 Snap-On magnetic controller is now available to back on Kickstarter.
