If you’ve been looking for a new controller for your mobile gaming needs, there are plenty of options out there to choose from. The Backbone Pro and Abxylute S8 both launched last year and are solid choices. But if you’re looking for something more affordable, Abxylute just released a new telescopic controller you may be interested in.

Abxylute has launched a cheaper version of the S8, called the S8 Lite. At full price, this controller costs $49.99, five dollars cheaper than the S8 at full price. To achieve that lower price point, this controller drops the wireless support that the S8 offers. However, it manages to keep many of the other benefits the S8 provides.
