No, it doesn\u2019t contain a can opener, but it makes up for it with a surprising array of features. Once you attach your MagSafe- or Pixelsnap-ready phone to the top plate, pressing a button along its top edge satisfyingly pops your phone up to reveal a full suite of controls, including TMR sticks made by GameSir. The MCON launched for $150, but you can get it for $99.99 through its manufacturer, <a href=\"https:\/\/ohsnap.com\/products\/mcon-magnetic-controller\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OhSnap<\/a> \u2014 the same amount that backers paid for the \u201csuper early bird\u201d discount during the MCON\u2019s 2025 Kickstarter campaign.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-block\">\n<h3>OhSnap MCON controller<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"product-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/mconPC.jpg?w=300\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3>Where to Buy:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ohsnap.com\/products\/mcon-magnetic-controller\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strike>$149.99<\/strike> $99.99 at <strong>OhSnap<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">I only recently received an MCON controller for testing, but it didn\u2019t take long to appreciate that its button layout is a bit more ergonomically-friendly than other phone controllers I\u2019ve tried. I\u2019m also a fan of the MCON\u2019s two fold-out palm grips because they make it easier to use the shoulder buttons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">You can use the MCON with devices that don\u2019t have magnets, too. OhSnap includes an adhesive-backed ring that you can stick to the back of any iPhone or Android phone. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@verge\/video\/7579654132127042830\" data-video-id=\"7579654132127042830\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\">\n<section> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"@verge\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@verge?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">@verge<\/a> \n<p>The viral Ohsnap MCON spring-loaded pocket gamepad is nearly here and I\u2019m toying with an early sample! The snap is satisfying, the controls are surprisingly great, and gosh can it pair with lots of Bluetooth devices including the Nintendo Switch 2. But it\u2019s also surprisingly thick (due to a big MagSafe pad) and comes with a $150 price tag! I also had slightly peeling magnets on my samples, but Ohsnap says that\u2019s already fixed for mass production. <a title=\"todayimtoyingwith\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/todayimtoyingwith?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#todayimtoyingwith<\/a> <a title=\"ohsnap\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/ohsnap?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#ohsnap<\/a> <a title=\"mcon\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/mcon?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#mcon<\/a> <a title=\"gaming\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/gaming?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#gaming<\/a> <a title=\"GameTok\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/GameTok?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">#gametok<\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - The Verge\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7579659270044797709?refer=embed\" rel=\"noopener\">\u266c original sound \u2013 The Verge<\/a> <\/p><\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The MCON includes an adhesive-backed ring for phones that aren\u2019t MagSafe- or Pixelsnap-ready. | Image: OhSnap The MCON is the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":282,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/teknologi.news.eraenterprise.id\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/teknologi.news.eraenterprise.id\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/teknologi.news.eraenterprise.id\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teknologi.news.eraenterprise.id\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teknologi.news.eraenterprise.id\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=281"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/teknologi.news.eraenterprise.id\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teknologi.news.eraenterprise.id\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/teknologi.news.eraenterprise.id\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teknologi.news.eraenterprise.id\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/teknologi.news.eraenterprise.id\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
