The Abxylute M4 has officially closed its crowdfunding run, and the numbers landed well above expectations. After more than a month on Kickstarter, the Snap-On mobile controller crossed the $300,000 mark, unlocking a final color option in the process. With the campaign now finished, Abxylute has shifted pre-orders to its own site, marking the next phase for the magnetic controller.
Abxylute M4 campaign closes well above its goal
Abxylute launched the M4 Snap-On mobile controller with a modest funding target of $1,287. That figure fell almost instantly. Momentum never really slowed, even as the campaign stretched toward its December 23 end date.
By the time pledges closed, the project had pulled in $307,939 from 5,850 backers. Those numbers place the controller comfortably in “success” territory. More importantly, they triggered the final stretch reward that Abxylute teased earlier in the campaign.
Sixth color unlocked as Abxylute M4 hits milestone
Before the campaign ended, Abxylute promised one more reward if funding passed $300,000. That reward was a new colorway called Halo Green. With the total clearing that threshold, the company confirmed the green version is now official.
Halo Green becomes the sixth and final color for the Abxylute M4 lineup. It joins a group that already leaned heavily into nostalgia and bold finishes rather than safe defaults.
The full color range now includes:
- Retro White
- Phantom Black
- Cosmic Orange
- NGC Indigo
- Atomic Purple
- Halo Green
Each option will be available at launch, including the newly unlocked green model.
Abxylute M4 color lineup grew throughout the campaign
When Abxylute first revealed the controller, only Retro White and Phantom Black were planned. Cosmic Orange arrived shortly before the campaign went live. During the funding period, both NGC Indigo and Atomic Purple unlocked through earlier milestones.
That steady rollout kept interest alive. Instead of one big reveal, Abxylute spaced out updates to give backers reasons to check in again. The Halo Green unlock capped that strategy neatly.
Pre-orders move off Kickstarter at a higher price
With crowdfunding complete, Abxylute moved pre-orders to its official website. The shift comes with a price increase. The $39 Kickstarter tier is gone. Pre-orders now sit at $45, and the final retail price will land at $49 once pre-orders close.
All six colors remain available during this phase. Shipping is scheduled to begin in January 2026, keeping the timeline close to what early backers expected.
Abxylute M4 transitions from project to product
Crossing $300,000 gives Abxylute breathing room. It also raises expectations. The controller now moves from promise to delivery, where execution matters more than momentum. The campaign is over. The real test starts next.
