Make Mobile Gaming Fun Again with the Ohsnap MCON: A Pocket-Sized Revolution
Mobile gaming devices are supposed to be portable, but many fall short. Take the Nintendo Switch or the Steam Deck—powerful, yes, but pocket-sized? Not a chance. Even popular options like the Backbone One and Razer Kishi require a backpack for on-the-go use. Enter the Ohsnap MCON, the mobile gaming controller that truly fits in your pocket.
At just 19 years old, Josh King changed the game by creating a compact, 3D-printed mobile gaming controller. The internet went wild, and now, with the help of Ohsnap, the MCON has been refined into a sleek, functional, and highly portable design.
Why the MCON Stands Out
A True Pocket-Sized Design
The MCON is redefining what it means to be mobile. Its slim, magnetic design snaps directly onto your phone, allowing it to fit comfortably in your pocket—yes, even your front pocket! With a Bluetooth connection, it offers stable and seamless gaming without the bulk of traditional controllers.
Auto-Sliding Magic
A standout feature of the MCON is its auto-sliding mechanism. By pressing a quick-launch button, the controller extends smoothly from the back of your phone, simultaneously angling your screen for optimal gameplay. This thoughtful design makes starting your gaming session as exciting as the games themselves.
Ergonomic Fold-Out Grips
Comfort meets portability with fold-out grips that lock into place during use. These grips provide the tactile feel you need for precise gameplay, without adding unnecessary bulk to the device when folded.
Compatibility with All Phones
Whether you’re an iPhone or Android user, the MCON works for you. The device adapts to various phone sizes and even accommodates larger camera bumps using innovative “pucks.” Android users can use the included MagSafe adapter for smooth functionality.
Full-Size Hall-Effect Joysticks
Don’t let its size fool you—the MCON delivers a top-notch gaming experience. With full-size Hall-Effect joysticks, you get precision, durability, and a design resistant to stick drift, offering you reliable control.
Silent Operation & Familiar Layout
The MCON’s quiet operation ensures you can game discreetly, whether you’re in a library or sneaking in a quick session during class. Its intuitive button layout feels instantly familiar, so there’s no learning curve to slow you down.
A Commitment to Repairability
The MCON champions your right to repair. Designed to be disassembled with a screwdriver, it’s easy to fix or modify, ensuring a longer lifespan and less electronic waste.
Final Thoughts
The Ohsnap MCON is a game-changer in every sense. By combining portability, functionality, and a thoughtful design, it brings the joy back to mobile gaming. Whether you’re a casual player or a dedicated gamer, this controller hits the sweet spot between convenience and performance.
The MCON is currently available for preorder through its Kickstarter campaign, starting at $119. Don’t miss your chance to elevate your mobile gaming experience—secure yours today!
