abxylute C6 Wireless Gaming Controller

Superb controller that fits well in the hand, very good quality.

Just perfect. Amazing battery life, surprisingly long wireless range, precise controls, nice feeling buttons (soft but not too squishy). The only deal-breaker for some may be the light weight. Many players prefer something hefty. For me, I travel with it and it weighs nothing in my bag. Also, switching between devices is a bit of a chore if you like to hop between PC and console.

In a time when first party controllers are ridiculously overpriced, I spent years searching for a good reasonably priced controller. I've been plagued by bad quality, dead zones, stick drift, input lag, lousy wireless range, faulty buttons, you name it. The ABXYlute C6 is by far the best controller, PERIOD. I have no words. This thing is absolutely flawless, and the price is just the cherry on top. Price aside I still prefer it over any first party option.

TL;DR - Abxylute C6 for $32 is a no brainer purchase if you're looking for a flexible controller to use on multiple systems.These are the main features of the controllers and my thoughts:Hall Effect Joysticks & Triggers- Buttons click audibly when pressed- Subtle texturing on the plastic front buttons as well as grip areas going into the palmVibration- Good enough and not overwhelmingly strongTurbo & Auto Turbo- Nice to have feature, especially for 2D scroller games200Hz polling rate- Didn't try this out since I was happy with the wireless 125 Hz wireless mode10m wireless range- Don't have a TV at home. But even if I did, 33 ft away from the viewing screen is pretty fricken far. 10 ft is all I need.600mAh battery- Didn't do endurance testing. Playing sessions were about 2h each and it's easy enough to stick in the USB cord and charge after a few playing sessions.Connectivity Testing:Bluetooth I tested with the following and they worked perfectly:- Android Phone- Android Tablets- Steam Deck LCD & OLED versionsUSB dongle connected pretty easily using Windows' Bluetooth connections- LaptopThoughts on Weight:Very lightweight -- the lightest controller I've used but doesn't feel cheap. Comes in at 186g on my kitchen scale. This lightness is useful for longer gaming sessions. Who needs to hold a heavy controller causing fatigue while gaming for long durations? Also tried twisting the controller but could not induce any bit of plastic flexing so I imagine it's a pretty durable controller (didn't try any drop tests and neither should you).Comes with- Controller with foam pads protecting analog sticks- USB Dongle- USB-C cord for charging and higher polling rate (vs wireless)- User manual (VERY Important since has instructions on pairing with various devices/modes.) Recommend taking pics of the manual or setting it aside somewhere- Android Bluetooth pairing: Y + HOME for a few seconds until rapid blinking (pairing mode) and when paired, will see bottom left & bottom right lights stay on- USB dongle: Hold home buttons for a few seconds. Top right and bottom left lights will stay on.- Nintendo Switch: I didn't have one on hand, but pairing it is similar to with USB dongle. Just hold home button for a few seconds and when it's in pairing mode, finish connections on the switch (Open controllers option, selecting change scripts/order).- Confirmed by other users that this controller will not work with the XBox regardless of wired or wireless connections to the XBox

Pros: At this price point it’s amazing that it comes with a lot of first party features and works across the board on all the devices I tried it on. I’ve used it with my Switch, a handful of handheld consoles both Android and Linux, my Xbox, computer and even my Steam Deck. I have been looking for a good lightweight quality controller I can use at home as well as when I travel that i don’t need to worry if something were to happen to it.The hall sticks work well though all hall sticks aren’t created equally these are better than some I’ve used. There is a solid rumble feature though initially it can be jarring with how lightweight the controller is but it works well. I was surprised to find gyro working on switch which is something I don’t normally use but my kids do so they have been taking advantage of it. Also with kids it’s durable enough for the whole family to use which is fantastic.Cons: There are only a couple first being how light it is. I love that I don’t notice it in my backpack when I’m on the road but after using heavy controllers for my whole life it gives it an unfortunate cheap feel. I don’t think it’s cheaply made that’s just how it feels likely from higher quality lighter materials than I’m used to. The other thing is hand position. I don’t have the biggest hands but the grips are narrower than anything I’ve used before. After some use I don’t notice it until I go back to it after using another controller which takes a bit to not notice it again.Recommend: I would recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable light weight controller. I’ll likely never use the turbo or gyro features myself but they are there for my kids if they want to use them. This is a quality controller. At this price point there is a sea of junk controllers (I tried a few before finding this one). If you aren’t looking to spend $100+ you can’t go wrong with the abxyLUTE C6. Now I have to order another one because my kids have taken over mine.

I love this controller! At first I had a lot of issues where it would disconnect from my PC (using the dongle) for .05 seconds and then reconnect. I dreaded using the the Bluetooth feature. So I keep the dongle plugged in and use the Bluetooth feature and I haven't had any issues. This controller is literally the EASIEST one I've ever used through Bluetooth. I've gone through 4 controllers recently with Bluetooth and they were all a hot mess and wouldn't connect or stay connected. This controller is worth it!! The only complaint I have (which doesn't warrant giving it any less stars because it's a preference) is that I wish it had more modes and color options for the lights. Other than that, an awesome controller!
