Abxylute N6 and N9C Nintendo Switch 2 controllers get a launch date

Last August, Abxylute unveiled a new deck controller for the Nintendo Switch 2. Called the N6, the controller replaces the Joy-Cons 2 and connects to the Switch 2 via USB-C. After five months of waiting, Abxylute has now revealed when the controller will launch.

According to a post on its Discord channel, the Abxylute N6 will launch on February 18, and it will arrive alongside the Abxylute N9C that was unveiled a few weeks ago. Both controllers will launch on Kickstarter. Unfortunately, the Abxylute N9 which was revealed alongside the N6 will not be launching on that date as it is still in development.

As previously reported, the two controllers connect via USB-C to the Nintendo Switch 2 (available on Amazon for $499). They also have a 9-axis gyroscope, dedicated C-button for voice chat, turbo function, macro support, and adjustable vibration.

In addition to the aforementioned, the N6 uses Hall Effect joysticks with anti-friction metal rings and a stick angle of 23° compared to the Joy-Con's 18°. It also has two customizable back buttons and uses conductive rubber for the ABXY buttons and D-Pad.

The N6 controller will be available in Translucent Black and Indigo Purple, while the N9C will be available in Indigo Purple.
