Going Mobile

Going Mobile

Many of the mobile controllers on the market follow a familiar form factor, but OhSnap! has opted for something quite different. The MCON magnetically attaches to the back of any phone and snaps down to reveal a compact yet complete controller layout. Like an unfolding Transformer, sturdy grips can then be popped down on the left and right to limit hand strain. You can remove the cover and prop up your phone for tabletop play, Hall Effect triggers support inputs like a driving throttle, and a built-in gyroscope enables motion-based input. Compared to alternatives, the best thing about the MCON is its ability to fit in your pocket, connected to your phone, and let you switch into active play with a real controller in seconds, without having to dig anything extra out of your bag.
