I've long hoped for a mobile controller that folds up in such a way to protect the buttons and sticks but still has the form factor reminiscent of an Xbox controller. The MCON is pretty darn close to the dream I had, and I'm really glad it's real now! The recessed thumbsticks are going to take some getting used to, but the grips, buttons, and triggers are all that I hoped for. 10/10 would recommend!
Since I backed it, saw the updates, the progress. After finally getting my hands on it, I just can't get my jaw off the floor. It's quality is undescribable, how it feels int eh hands, the addictiveness of the button to launch the back stand up to reveal the controller ((send help it's bad! I can't stop!)) even playing with it for a few games is just.. amazing. And this was with some experimentation with steam link and some mobile game. And this is coming from someone who's very picky about their controllers. You will not be disappointed. It's worth every penny.
Fun to use controller finally have other controller I can use with my switch 2,IPhone and maybe Pc.Having some issues with the Bluetooth modes seeing multiple Mcon III or whatever number and have to try to reconnect controller to phone if I connected to my PC. The switch mode works great kind of confusing which the instructions for that word in the manual from the box. hope a software update can fix the Bluetooth thing.
I’ve been following this controller since it was just an idea on Kickstarter, and I can honestly say the wait was 100% worth it. The build quality, design, and overall feel exceeded my expectations. It’s easily the best mobile controller I’ve used, and I’m already wishing I could get my hands on the transparent version.Huge shoutout to the team for the hard work and attention to detail. This product really shows the passion behind it. I’d recommend it to anyone serious about mobile gaming. I actually threw away my Backbone controller the moment the MCON arrived 😂
My 6 year old son and I LOVE this controller. I feel genuine excitement to play games on the phone. And bonus, it is a PERFECT parent’s emergency button to keep your kid busy with a game outside the home. Hours of SpongeBob platforming on the Apple Arcade wasn’t on our bingo card for the holidays but I love it and you can’t argue with fun!
I like this controller, but there’s a couple of things I would change for me to LOVE IT, I would say move the home button to the top middle of the controller because I constantly would keep pressing it on accident when I would rest my hand on the right side of the controller and another complaint I got is the sticks being too close, I prefer playing on an Xbox controller and this configuration of the controller just feels so off to me and is the MAIN reason why I don’t like using it at times, please change the sticks position, I would say move the left stick to the top right and the D-pad to the bottom left, like an Xbox controller and that would be a PERFECT!
I just got mine and it’s very niceKinda reminds me of a ps4 controller, with the layout.Adjustable grips is super nice, give you more of a grip and comfort.Removable also, these guys definitely did their best on this project
My Galaxy S24+ phone is very powerful, capable of running many of my favorite games. This MCON Controller will allow my phone which is already ALWAYS in my pocket to be paired with a controller very stylishly and conveniently. With emulators of any old console (like literally any) up to PS4 & even Switch if you can manage, increasing App Store ports of actual games (not gachaslop) library, and lastly the future of Steam Games coming to Android (I hear its happening soon, plus GameHub Lite already exists)... The modern Android phone is basically a console that can play a huge chunk of your library. The MCON will solve the only problem holding back Mobile Gaming, the pocketability of the controller. Nobody wants to bring around a big Xbox controller or awkwardly set up the controllers that grip the phone in public. Switchblading out with the MCON isnt only iconic, but it also solves the pocketability. The fact that it switches to sleep mode when its closed is brilliant. No pressing a power button to waste time. Switchblade it and then it turns itself on, that's just fast and fun. My favorite feature besides the pocketability right there. Switching devices at the press of a button (3 devices i think?) is also a huge feature. Slap the MCON on your friend's phone or switch over to your laptop easily. Sooo nice. My main concern is the ergonomics, but even there I think the MCON still shines. With a small form factor you'd usually expect less, but the MCON gives you grips anyway. Havent yet felt them myself, but the fact they thought of it is more than I'd expect from such a small device. I'm sure I'll adapt to how it feels to hold when I play Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix English Patch on my PS2 Emulator. If this isn't revolutionary then i dont know what is.People love handhelds like the DS or Switch or SteamDeck, this truly fixes why a phone didn't feel like a handheld already... REAL CONTROLS, NO MORE TOUCHSCREEN! Actually portable too. It's what we needed and I'm so excited so support this brilliant idea!
