In June 2024, 19-year-old developer Josh King attracted the attention of users by presenting his unique folding gamepad for iPhone, created with a 3D printer, on YouTube. The accessory, which quickly became popular, is now being prepared for serial production and will be presented at the CES 2025 exhibition.
Initially, King planned to launch production on his own, attracting private investment. However, limited financial difficulties forced him to seek support from OhSnap, a company known for its accessories for smartphones. The brand's support made it possible to organize a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, the start of which is scheduled for January 2, 2025. The new product will appear on the market under the name MCON.
The main feature of the gamepad is its attachment to the iPhone via the MagSafe system. When folded, the device is compact and does not protrude beyond the smartphone body, which makes it convenient to carry in your pocket. The sliding mechanism gives access to standard gaming controls, including sticks with Hall sensors, providing precision and smoothness of movement.
The gamepad will be available in black and white. The exact date of the start of sales and the price will be announced after the completion of the crowdfunding campaign. MCON promises to be an innovative solution for mobile gaming, combining compactness and ease of use.
