Ohsnap announces MCON mobile gaming controller for MagSafe smartphones


Ohsnap has introduced MCON, a compact gaming controller designed for MagSafe-enabled smartphones. Set to launch on Kickstarter on January 2, 2025, and make its debut at CES 2025, MCON aims to provide a portable option for mobile gaming enthusiasts.
Developed by 19-year-old inventor Josh King in collaboration with Ohsnap CEO Dale Backus, MCON features a minimalist design that prioritizes portability and ease of use. With a “launch” button that slides out full-sized hall-effect joysticks and tactile buttons, the device connects via Bluetooth without requiring clamps, cables, or complex pairing.
