Score $50 Off the Ultimate Phone Game Controller!

The MCON is like the Swiss army knife of controllers. While it may not have a can opener, it compensates with an impressive range of features. When you attach your MagSafe- or Pixelsnap-compatible phone to the top plate, a simple press of a button along the edge pops your phone up, unveiling a complete set of controls, including TMR sticks crafted by GameSir. Originally priced at $150, the MCON is now available for $99.99 directly from its manufacturer, OhSnap — the same price that early backers snagged during the MCON’s Kickstarter campaign in 2025.

I recently got my hands on an MCON controller for testing, and it quickly became clear that its button layout is more ergonomically designed compared to other phone controllers I’ve used. The two fold-out palm grips are a standout feature, making it much easier to access the shoulder buttons.

The MCON isn’t limited to devices with magnets; OhSnap provides an adhesive-backed ring that you can attach to the back of any iPhone or Android phone.
