I got the #AbxyluteS9 telescopic controller on Saturday and spent a bunch of time yesterday messing with it. I had a lot to say about it but since there is a dedicated place on Discord for it, I unloaded my opinions over there.
In a nutshell:
-Left Shoulder button is louder than Right Shoulder button
-If you press too hard on the d-pad it registers an adjacent directional input
-It turns itself off and won't fully turn back on unless you physically unplug and replug it.
Otherwise it's great.
I’m going to send back the #AbxyluteS9. Overall it’s a really nice controller but I want to convert my Galaxy S10 5G into a dedicated gaming device and having to constantly replug the controller isn’t going to work for that use-case. And the d-pad really bothers me.
That’s 3 telescopic controllers I’ve tried in the last year and decided to return. Instead of looking for another one, I found some grips on Etsy for the #RazerKishi V1 that I’ve had for years. This just might be good enough for me!
