# MagTube Upgrade EN Test

The MagTube allows you to detach the controllers (and its magnetic cups) from the frame without having to take the controllers off the cups, therefore increasing your comfort while playing.

Make sure you work in a clear area and be very careful. Some parts can easily be lost.
