The MCON is a game changing mobile controller that solves the common problem of bulky add-ons for smartphone gaming. Magnetically attaching to the back of any phone and featuring a compact design, the MCON offers a seamless and comfortable gaming experience.
Over the past few months, I've been following an intrepid creator looking to solve a problem I'm familiar with. Finding a solid video game controller for a smartphone has always been a struggle. There are tons of Bluetooth controllers on the market, as well as some that attach directly to the phone. The problem with these controllers is that you have to lug around a separate accessory with you everywhere you go. The MCON solves that problem.
Now available to back on Kickstarter, the MCON is a mobile controller that attaches to the back of any phone magnetically. When not in use, the MCON slides behind your phone, allowing you to leave it attached at all times, even if you use a case. Once you've attached the controller to your phone, you can quite literally 'launch' it at any time by pressing down on two buttons that will spring your phone up. The controller itself features A, B, X, and Y buttons as well as a D-pad, two Hall-effect joysticks, function buttons, and right and left triggers. There are also two fold-out grips that improve the ergonomics during your long play sessions and make the device look more like a traditional controller. In order to support as many phones as possible, the controller ships with two 2.5mm discs that are embedded with MagSafe magnet arrays. If your iPhone has a camera bump, you can stack one or both of the pucks on the MCON to ensure there's enough clearance. If you have a case, it might create enough clearance on its own. On the other hand, if you have an Android phone or a device without MagSafe, you can use the included adhesive MagSafe adapter to make the controller fit your phone. The MCON controller will retail for $149, but there are several early bird promotions available to those who back the product on Kickstarter, bringing the price as low as $99. It will come in white and black colors, and should be delivered in August 202
