$150 MSRP is really steep ngl. Especially for those outside of the U.S., that turns into $215 CAD. More than twice that of standard first party controllers. I’m not sure what the cost of manufacturing is and how much of a profit margin there is here, but I really can’t justify spending $145CAD plus shipping, let alone $215CAD+ for this.
Right there with you. I’ve tried a few mobile controllers and already felt the typical $99 CAD was too much when I can get an Xbox series controller for around $65 CAD. Spending over $200 CAD on an arguably worse controller (albeit portable and cool) just doesn’t work for me.
@ I’ve considered getting a backbone style before but they’re also too much for what they are yeah. Would be willing to pay the price of one of them for the M-Con, but twice that? No way.
A 65 dollar Xbox controller doesn’t hold your phone, and is not really portable. Here in Europe at least this is a better product for a competing (but slightly higher) price as its competitors.
@@luipaardprint a backbone costs about half of the M-Con’s MSRP and is barely any less portable. A $15 phone clip to add to your existing controller also exists, and while isn’t convenient, utterly destroys it in price. I want M-Con to be the next big thing but it _needs_ to be more affordable.
@@MarioLuigi0404 was about to reply exactly that. A phone clip is easy, especially with 8bitdo. Just bulky. I want an M-con. I think it’s a great product. But even with small production, as a consumer the price just doesn’t make sense
Sorry to hear it tbh, it sucks that you might not get this until it is more main stream. Idk if you have an international friend but maybe you could have someone order it for you? Hope you can work it out!
Since seeing this device I was blown away by the sheer simplicity of it and how genius it looks. Once that kickstarter went live I immediately back this project. Looking forward to getting mine! Keep up the awesome work
Congrats on going live! You have gone above and beyond with the backers here. I would love to order when more colorways are available, but really glad to see how successful this launch is. You've really earned it!
Backed in an instant! It's so great to see someone pursue their dream and just go with it. I have so much respect for what you have achieved so far and the journey that you are about to go on. Enjoy it while we enjoy your product! :D
Congrats man your idea is something I have wanted for a long time, I backed as soon as I saw it was open, now is your time to watch all your hard work come a reality, you deserve it!
A dream come true of a device would be hopping on this instantly if not for Bluetooth. Apple supposedly looking into data transfer capabilities through magsafe if we could figure that out and put in future iterations of the mcon then we'll have the no compromise mobile controller. Glad it's got so much traction right away CONGRATS!
Not gonna lie I do wish you kept the kickstand feature that was such a cool feature to keep on it for when you play on a bed or couch and stuff. Kinda makes it feel like a mini TV.
Backed and can't wait till I get mine.... This is one of those change your life type of things. I want to bring gaming with me everywhere but, big controller addons were are are too big, and touch screens suck for gaming. I want this and NEED this... the sooner the better. August ? Oh my god ! :( Glad to be part of it
The concept is great and it sure has great potential to be the best portable controller ~~ I have a few questions 1) what is the type of analog stick , are they hall sense ? 2) is the analog trigger ? 3) does it has gyroscope build in ? 4) Does ir connect to the phone through Bluetooth, if yes, what is the BT version 5) what will MCON register as X-input ? DualShock on the phone? 6) are there any programable buttons ?
Just pledged. I remember commenting on your original video saying I would love something like this. So now that it is available I had to do my part and be a backer! Can’t wait to get my hands on this thing hopefully this summer or sooner!!
Dude, you've come so far! I've seen your name in reddit for a long time, and remember when you posted this on reddit for the first time too. Confrats man!!🎉
This project is so damn sick, im far from the target audience (i literally never use my phone, its like 5 years old and has battery for 2 hours just listening to music) But im so invested in the design of this that i almost want to buy one lmao
Just backed it! So excited! Still 21 Super Early spots left! Curious how it will fit on my Z-Flip 4 phone considering the flipping aspect of the phone. Might have to switch to a slab phone. Still 8 months to delivery tho. Cheers from Norway!
Remember seeing your video a few months back, and when I saw the Kickstarter I was honestly so scared you missed out, that someone had stolen the idea from you. Backed and can’t wait to see what comes from it 👏🏼🎉
Im so excited to see what we can genuinely play on this with how far phones have come, interested to see if I can use it in games that wouldn’t require all of the buttons and how smooth that feels, either way I’m backing ya, that clear color goes crazy 😮💨
At the end, I think I will just wait to buy it when its out but I really think this is going to be the future of where gaming phone controllers go. I am really happy this is actually coming to fruition.
I'd buy one once it's retail if following two points are meet: 1. The "adapter" puck for non-magsafe phones can't interfere with wireless charging. 2. The frosted clear colors are available outside kickstarter.
I have my reservations on the pocket-ability, but I honestly think that if you were to pair this with a great phone that could emulate Dreamcast or PS2, this is perfect. Edit: I just noticed that thanks to the height it includes L2 and R2 buttons too... Big plus.
It’s live! Here’s the link!!!!

It's happening.jpg!
The premiere is at exactly midnight in my time zone so I can’t watch it😭
@@StormDiperlol, for me it's 8pm this evening!
congrats! 🎉
Is it compatible with my Samsung Galaxy S20?
The total goal of 25.000$ was acomplished in less than 10 minutes. Now it is you and OHSnap time to do your part. Good luck this year.
It’s now at 913.000$
Now at 982.000
20k before the clear edition unlocks
holy shit, you reached the goal less than 5 minutes! congrats!

We've finally reached the cusp of a new age.
It’s a pitty that Kickstarter won’t deliver in Brazil. I was looking forward to back you up. Good luck!!
Sorry to hear it tbh, it sucks that you might not get this until it is more main stream.
Idk if you have an international friend but maybe you could have someone order it for you?
Hope you can work it out!
you could try shop n ship
Serião mano? Po, eu ja tava indo comprar kkkkkk
Mas assim que lançar a gente compra, se o imposto não tiver em 500% até lá kkkkkk
Since seeing this device I was blown away by the sheer simplicity of it and how genius it looks. Once that kickstarter went live I immediately back this project. Looking forward to getting mine! Keep up the awesome work
i was kind of looking forward to this but $149 msrp is overkill for a mobile controller let alone $99 for the preorder
Even buying a ps5 controller with a phone clamp is cheaper and you have something you can also use for console/pc gaming
@@NarcissusPRfacts
Yeah not gonna lie i hope it does so well that it becomes cheaper but i bet some chinese company gonna do it more affordable
Congrats on going live! You have gone above and beyond with the backers here.
I would love to order when more colorways are available, but really glad to see how successful this launch is. You've really earned it!
I think there will be options for backers to choose once it’s time for mass production.
Fantastic - congratulations! Glad to get in on this. I didn't even let the video finish before backing!
Proud earliest bird backer for this project. This is going to revolutionize mobile gaming. Thank you guys so much for making the dream a reality.
I joined Kickstarter just to back this up. This deserves it! 😍
Backed in an instant! It's so great to see someone pursue their dream and just go with it. I have so much respect for what you have achieved so far and the journey that you are about to go on. Enjoy it while we enjoy your product! :D
Fully back in
This is just so inspiring. All the best.
God Bless you bro, this is insanely awesome and inspiring
super pledged!!!!! can't wait to see if we get the special color way. That clear would be dope!!! Legs go 1M fingers crossed
Congrats man your idea is something I have wanted for a long time, I backed as soon as I saw it was open, now is your time to watch all your hard work come a reality, you deserve it!
Shit when you said "early January" you meant *early* January
Been looking forward to this since your first post so long ago. Backed! Goodluck. so excited to hold the finished product!
This is the first kickstarter I’ve ever backed. I’m so excited for this!! 🔥
Been excited about this for a while!
Just backed the project, absolute congratulations man, can’t wait for my mcon to arrive in august, glad I was able to hit the super early bird
here before the entire mobile gaming industry changes
I... This is perfect. You smashed that goal tenfold... Congratulations. This is revolutionary.
A dream come true of a device would be hopping on this instantly if not for Bluetooth. Apple supposedly looking into data transfer capabilities through magsafe if we could figure that out and put in future iterations of the mcon then we'll have the no compromise mobile controller. Glad it's got so much traction right away CONGRATS!
Contributed to the Kickstarter immediately
Hoping this catches on and phone gaming gets better 🤗
Really proud to have backed this. Looking forward to August!
That’s a lot more expensive than I thought it was going to be…
how much is it?
Cant wait to get one, wishing you all the success
im so proud to see this come this far, i cant wait for it to drop and potential future iterations that may follow!
From prototype to completion. Fantastic work man.
Just pledged! Haven’t been this excited for a Kickstarter product since the Pebble Time 🙌🏼 let’s gooo
I saw your first video. Big grats on your successful kickstarter :) Product looks great as well.
That's amazing work, dude !! Congratulation so much, really an inspirational journey !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🥳🥳🥳🥳
Glad to have backed this project!
Not gonna lie I do wish you kept the kickstand feature that was such a cool feature to keep on it for when you play on a bed or couch and stuff. Kinda makes it feel like a mini TV.
Looks very professional , i'm praying for your success !
Backed and can't wait till I get mine.... This is one of those change your life type of things. I want to bring gaming with me everywhere but, big controller addons were are are too big, and touch screens suck for gaming. I want this and NEED this... the sooner the better. August ? Oh my god ! :(
Glad to be part of it
Best of luck with this company mate
just backed up the Kickstarter, can't wait to receive mine. Great work you have done for us mobile gamers.
The concept is great and it sure has great potential to be the best portable controller ~~
I have a few questions
1) what is the type of analog stick , are they hall sense ?
2) is the analog trigger ?
3) does it has gyroscope build in ?
4) Does ir connect to the phone through Bluetooth, if yes, what is the BT version
5) what will MCON register as X-input ? DualShock on the phone?
6) are there any programable buttons ?
They are Hall effect sticks
THE TIME HAS COME MY DUDES. A NEW ERA IN MOBILE GAMING IS UPON US
Backed! It's crazy how well this is doing! Congrats guys.
$25,000 goal. At $430,000 when I backed it 😮 🤩
Congrats, looking forward to your success and future iterations,
Great job! I'm so excited for you!
Amazing work. I'm so excited to get one.
Id really love to see it have wireless charging in the part that connects to the phone. So I can charge my phone while I play
ATLAST! HURAY! Congratulations!
Just pledged. I remember commenting on your original video saying I would love something like this. So now that it is available I had to do my part and be a backer! Can’t wait to get my hands on this thing hopefully this summer or sooner!!
awesome!! Allmost 100k, congrats!!
Please add Malaysia in the list. We are in between Singapore and Thailand both are listed as country this ships to.
really excited for this and how far youve taken it josh! now lets get it over the finishline!
This is great and looks really cool, but I am mildly concerned about the mcon taking the ohsnap grip with it when taking it off at 0:40
So hyped for this! Awesome awesome work man
Definitely one of the most anticipated device releases this half of 2020
Dude, you've come so far! I've seen your name in reddit for a long time, and remember when you posted this on reddit for the first time too.
Confrats man!!🎉
Finally, product that designed by gamer for gamer... Good luck and hopefully no setbacks along your progress
Joined kickstarter for the first time and pledged to try and get that exclusive clear color 😍😍😍
Best birthday present ever. Now minecraft will be viable on mobile
Snagged one of the last early birds for $99. What an awesome product idea! Hope it works as well as promised
Congratulations, backed and can’t wait for mine, hope production goes well!
It's time! LFG!
This project is so damn sick, im far from the target audience (i literally never use my phone, its like 5 years old and has battery for 2 hours just listening to music) But im so invested in the design of this that i almost want to buy one lmao
Will this be compatible with “Max” iPhone models?? Looks great!
Yes!
Absolutely inspiring!
Congrats on the launch! That's a huge milestone
August can’t come fast enough, feels like it’s been forever and I just preordered
I love the design. It reminds me of the PSP Go design. I hope the next version will be a bit slimmer
man you blew that goal out of the water, hope that means good things.
This bout to be the best handheld phone controller in history 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
Not for 149$
Wow, 100k in less than 12hrs! Definitely inspiring! 🔥 I have to work harder to create something amazing!
Just backed it! So excited! Still 21 Super Early spots left!
Curious how it will fit on my Z-Flip 4 phone considering the flipping aspect of the phone. Might have to switch to a slab phone. Still 8 months to delivery tho.
Cheers from Norway!
Glad I came back to check because I’m pretty sure the time changed! Got in for 99 dollars let’s see how this goes
Proud to back at $440,000!
Waiting it to reach 1M for that exclusive variant
Really disappointed that Romania wasn't in the list of countries where MCOM can be delivered to.
You did it. Congrats.
Price is steep for a controller (assuming that’s on OhSnap’s part due to their pricing) so I’m expecting a premium product.
Good job man you earned it
Finally, a PSP Go / Sony Ericsson Xperia Play successor. Can't wait for the 3D print files to drop.
The patent for that actually expires this year so Asus and Red magic will hopefully hop on it
Remember seeing your video a few months back, and when I saw the Kickstarter I was honestly so scared you missed out, that someone had stolen the idea from you. Backed and can’t wait to see what comes from it 👏🏼🎉
So hype to get the early bird discount, cant wait to play with it in a couple months
Just backed! Can’t wait for this!
Yeah I backed a couple hours in and it was wayyy past the goal by then. Good job and good luck OP!
Once we get the V2 later on ima put my original one in a glass case
Im so excited to see what we can genuinely play on this with how far phones have come, interested to see if I can use it in games that wouldn’t require all of the buttons and how smooth that feels, either way I’m backing ya, that clear color goes crazy 😮💨
Awesome project when ever I get off my iPhone 7 I might get one
Got in with only 40 spots remaining on the super early bird! Here’s to raising $1M! Been keeping an eye on this since the initial video!
I am SO HYPED for this thing
25K goal reached in 10 minutes, amazing!
He really did mean early January.
Summoning salt music is a great choice
At the end, I think I will just wait to buy it when its out but I really think this is going to be the future of where gaming phone controllers go. I am really happy this is actually coming to fruition.
Cant afford it man 😢 but awesome to see this come to fruition!!🎉
I'd buy one once it's retail if following two points are meet: 1. The "adapter" puck for non-magsafe phones can't interfere with wireless charging. 2. The frosted clear colors are available outside kickstarter.
best of luck, man !!

Edit: I just noticed that thanks to the height it includes L2 and R2 buttons too... Big plus.

this is so sick i cant wait to see this release!!!!
congrats on the launch! looking forward to getting mine
