abxylute S9VOverview
The abxylute S9V takes the S9 controller and pairs it with VITURE glasses, which the manufacturer presents as a virtual screen of up to 174 inches. It plugs in over USB-C or connects over Bluetooth 5.3 and works with iPhone 15 and 16, USB-C Android phones and iPad mini 6 and 7, up to 216 mm in length.
The manufacturer lists Hall-effect sticks and linear triggers, two programmable back buttons, a screenshot key, a turbo function, a gyroscope and two vibration motors. Pass-through charging is supported. Unlike the S9, the S9V page does not mention an audio jack. The controller weighs 250 g.
abxylute S9VOur test
Our ABXYLUTE S9V was sent to us free of charge by ABXYLUTE, with no brief on the content; this origin may have influenced our appreciation. The Viture glasses used for the test were in turn sent by Viture. The S9V is an S9 built to work with Viture glasses.
It keeps the S9’s format: a controller that extends to 216 mm (8.8-inch tablet), full-size Hall-effect joysticks (orange here, with a metal ring), analogue Hall-effect triggers that can be switched to click in software, dual-motor rumble in four levels, two spare D-pads and extra caps. We find it well made, with raised dots on the sides for grip and a protruding USB-C port that accepts a case; the triggers are smooth, without ridges, and the stock D-pad is rather firm. Connection modes (X-Input, Switch, PlayStation, Android) are changed with the M button, and two rear buttons are remapped in the app, with macros. The difference from the S9: two USB-C ports instead of one USB-C port and a headphone jack, one for charging and one for plugging in the glasses. A UGreen 10 Gbps cable capable of carrying video is supplied.
The video output works only with Viture glasses (not XReal, Rokid or a Meta Quest headset), and only if the smartphone can output video over USB-C (USB-C iPhone, Galaxy, etc.). With our Viture Beast, playing GeForce Now on the go is pleasant. The port also takes a hub, without its video output, or a drive. With no internal battery, Bluetooth needs external power. Price €76 on the official site: reasonable in our view for Viture owners.
