The MCON is the closest to a Swiss military knife {that a} controller could be. No, it doesn’t include a can opener, nevertheless it makes up for it with a shocking array of options. When you connect your MagSafe- or Pixelsnap-ready telephone to the highest plate, urgent a button alongside its high edge satisfyingly pops your telephone as much as reveal a full suite of controls, together with TMR sticks made by GameSir. The MCON launched for $150, however you will get it for $99.99 by way of its producer, OhSnap — the identical quantity that backers paid for the “tremendous early fowl” low cost through the MCON’s 2025 Kickstarter marketing campaign.
I solely not too long ago obtained an MCON controller for testing, nevertheless it didn’t take lengthy to understand that its button structure is a little more ergonomically-friendly than different telephone controllers I’ve tried. I’m additionally a fan of the MCON’s two fold-out palm grips as a result of they make it simpler to make use of the shoulder buttons.
You need to use the MCON with gadgets that don’t have magnets, too. OhSnap consists of an adhesive-backed ring you can persist with the again of any iPhone or Android telephone.
