Dude. You have seriously come a long way. I remember when you had less than 700 subs and I followed the entire folding wings series. Your cinematography and editing and designing and everything has really inspired me. Your rad bro. I am going to order one of these, as everywhere i go I carry a ps4 controller with me, but I don’t have MagSafe and I like the case I have so ima have to create a claw for my phone and then put an arrangement of magnets in that. Ig what I’m trying to say is you have so much potential and so far you’ve really taken advantage of that and so you’re going to go far. I love you bro (no homo)
@@EmptyGuiwix hey man I know you!!!! Thank you so much for all the support man!!! Also that’s ok! My case I’m using rn doesn’t even have MagSafe! There will be a sticker in the box that’s you can add it to the phone!!!
Sadly I don't see this succeeding widely. It doesn't utilize consumer psychology to capture the "Blue Ocean" and CREATE a market, it goes after an existing market and will always only hack off portions from it, which is diminishing returns. Only very large companies like Sony can succeed with that. If you're following the pattern of the fallen-through Sony-Nintendo partnership that created Playstation, I can give you an example how that might look. Create a function in your device that rivals a DVD player. I would say, an e-ink screen, that can also be used for programmable capacitive buttons. THIS kind of device could then be used to browse original software like VISUAL NOVELS in the Southeast Asian (english language) market, that have open source community translation (the feature UA-cam axed some years ago). You would have to create the online support for this which is beyond your scope, but that's an example. The e-ink screen could then browse Closed Caption text version of the novel, in case for example if the phone runs low on battery. The capacitive button function could replace controls EXACTLY the way they would work on ONLY the phone with generic software. This is an example how you corner an existing market doing EVERYTHING your competitor does, but ADDING to it. It could also emulate Nintendo DS games with the bottom screen in e-ink. This comment won't be edited nor will I come after any material credit or copyright of these ideas, this will serve as a full legal notice that these ideas are generic, unpatented, and fully in the open market.
I have scrolled through SO many comments and it's crazy to me that I can't find anyone asking about the pricing model lol. Do you have any idea what kind of price range you're gonna be asking for these?
The Xperia play was even marketed together with... Minecraft Pocket Edition aaaaand Playstation 1 Emulation. I still wonder why noone used the gap left in the marked by gaming phones with real gaming inputs and filled it with something of quality...
@@rainboworange The very simple answer is the 3DS. The Xperia Play didn't make any waves. In a very large social group full of gamers of all stripes, I didn't know anyone else with one - and never even saw anyone else with one. A few of us had PSPs and DS. At the same time simple, touch screen based gaming was doing very good business on iPhone and Android. Beyond that, the 3DS as expected continued Nintendo's handheld gaming market domination even when faced with (IMO) the far, far superior Vita. Perhaps if the XP had come along with PSP power and compatibility that would've really created the 'PlayStation phone' market, but the reality was PlayStation had very little to do with it and Sony Ericsson half-baked it. For me, I'm much happier with a separate, dedicated device for handheld gaming. Picked up an Anbernic ARC a few months ago and it's been a blast. Might pick up a Retroid Pro 4 soon too.
A friendly suggestion, avoid using nintendo games when demoing and in competitions. Nintendo's lawyers are on a warpath. Stick to Crash Racing or similar instead. Good Luck, :)
@@SweetTodd They can't do anything unless they can prove you pirated the games. And even if they could it's not financially worth it to go after a single person, they go after people directly or indirectly contribute to piracy. So it's fine, keep doing whatcha doing.
They’d have to prove he pirated the games, also Emulation is completely legal in USA no matter what system you emulate on. Also Nintendo tends to only go after those who advertise places to download roms of their games or download their bios/firmware. Example Ryujinx and UA-camrs who promoted the usage of them and such.
Protect yourself at all cost, this is something that I as a gamer only dreamed about. This is GOLD! Keep that drive that you got going and don’t let them talk you down or steal your product
as a android emulation nut, this scratches just about every itch I could have hoped for! I already use a magsafe case on my android phone so this feels like a no brainer to pick up!! whats even better is that DBrand (one of the biggest specialty case makers) have implimented magsafe into their android cases, so just about anyone could use this! i do hope that your future designs will make the back a bit more universal with its camera cutout so that many other iphone sizes or even android phones could make use of this controller
Awesome!!! I really want to make sure it works with as many phones as possible! We will have a couple top plates that would work perfectly with all the most popular androids and iPhone. Like conform as good as a case would. And also make sure it works with pretty much any case you would have in those phones. Then one that is slightly compromised. Maybe it doesn’t like perfectly conform with the camera shape. But it will work with literally anything. But if we get enough funding or if it is successful, the first thing I’m doing with the money is making more top plates so it works with as many phones as humanly possible!! Old, new, and five years in the future new! AND we will include a MagSafe sticker in the box! So even if you don’t have a case with MagSafe you can add it to your phone. I’m actually using one now. The case I’m using doesn’t have it! Even if we don’t have enough money or there is some crazy unusual phone out there someone want it to work with I think we make it 3d printable and release the STL so people can just do it themselves. The sliding rails can bought separately and added to a 3d printed top. That’s the plan!😁
im 17 and getting a 3d printer for my 16th birthday was what started me off on designing things. its so fun to be able to make any (scuffed or otherwise) 3d model and just have it there in person, in a couple hours, in my room. it's such an easy way to bring any random idea to life
Gone are the days of having to be a rich scientist with a massive lab to invent and revolutionize. With the power of the internet and tools like a 3D printer, the average joe can tinker and invent stuff.
It's so nice seeing this video, I actually sell phone cases that allow you to connect razor jungle cat controllers to your phone. They've been really successful! 3D printing makes it all possible, it's wild how if I just want something I just make it
the design is so impressive, man. with some good branding and crowdfunding I can see this skyrocketing into a nationally treasured product. great work bro :)
the funny thing is that there are plenty of android phone cases that support magsafe, there are even magsafe stickers you can buy on amazon that will allow you to use the magsafe accessories. ive been using a magsafe case on my s24 for a year now and its been a game changer for portable chargers
You're a smart person and passionate. Worst case scenario, if this project gets taken down, release the information for 3D Printing and custom PCBs to be manufactured for us!
Wow! Perfect GamePad! Big Respect 👍❤️ Great idea! I would like to test that. I would even come back with my channel to show it. Brilliant! Greetings from Germany 👋
This is SUCH A GREAT INVENTION! Seriously, it's mind-boggling that literally NO OTHER company ever thought about taking inspiration from the PSP Go's sliding mechanic. May your new company grow!
Not only is the idea and design incredible, but the storytelling, video and production of this video amazing and done better than so many people with 100x better equipment. INCREDIBLE
As someone who owns a PSP Go™ I really hope your product is successful. This is the perfect form factor for an ultra portable gaming controller. Looking forward to seeing the retail version for Android in the future.
@@Stylez-13 I had a friend who had a Sony Xperia Play and it was the coolest thing ever. She mentioned that she could also hook it up to a PS3 and use it to play music from the phone through the console. And yes, unfortunately it failed as a product. But the difference between Josh's M-Con controller and the Sony Xperia Play is that the M-Con controller is detachable, and can fit any device it was made for (so far just the iPhones with MagSafe support). So hopefully, this controller will be successful.
@@MazharHuq I still got my xleria play for it on clearance at Fry's for $99 unlocked 😁 oh I see so an Xperia play type controller for any phone 📱 I can get behind that
@@Stylez-13 In fairness to the Xperia Play, I don't think it's a stretch to say it was a decade ahead of it's time when you think about the progression mobile CPUs have made since then, it's night and day, you can run X86 software on Android using compatibility layers now, I doubt anyone was even thinking about that in 2011 when the Xperia Play released Then consider the amount of third party support it would have at launch if it launched today with Steam Remote Play, Xbox Game Streaming, Antstream Arcade among everything else, back in the day I think OnLive was the only game streaming service and let's be honest internet connections weren't good enough to even bother, only reason it might not succeed if they did a V2 today imo is that it'd probably be as price prohibitive as it was in 2011 (Around double the price of a Samsung Galaxy S2 in the UK if memory serves)
dude i'm not even 3 minutes in and i'm just having the thought that i've been looking for a phone controller that doesn't make me say "this is cumbersome i should just use my 3DS or vita instead" for ages and this is the first one i've SEEN that actually breaks that thought
I totally see it changing the mobile gaming scene. So exiting to get me one. You really solved all the problems i had with the controllers in the market rn and its only gonna be better from here on.
Your passion for this project is palpable and infectious. Here’s hoping your dream becomes a reality and this changes the landscape for mobile gaming ❤
I love how home-made this video is lmao. The controller spinning off a string, the grainy 3D printer footage, the button click sounds of the recording ending, it's all ironically perfect
Really truly love small businesses for this reason. It’s so defiantly human, not a product made for money, or to benefit from a trend, but someone who loves games, and gaming, making something that solves an actual problem, not catering to a niche, but loving you community. Hope this goes places, would love to see these in GameStop and the like.
Not only is it incredible and a revolution, it could be used for any smartphone with a magsafe sticker, it fits in a pocket as if it were another phone and most importantly, the format is so incredible that it opens a world of possibilities, a complete keyboard as in the old blackberrys? controls for photographers? a dac device inside with buttons dedicated to music playback, it is such a versatile format that it could be used for everything and be able to carry several in a backpack without feeling like carrying a closet
@@kdizzy07 Sure, if you don't have a pocket or even the ground to set it on. The mounting plate also has a cutout for the camera so you can just slide the controller out if you don't want to take it off. Weirdly hostile comment.
Do you mean patents? In his community post he says he took down his previous video so he could do the patent work. That is why some of the clips are blurred .
Preface: I’m not a patent lawyer. From my understanding mag safe is an open standard. That is why you can get android mag safe cases and the manufacturers aren’t being sued by Apple. I expect the patent would be for the sliding, locking, removable rail integrated into a controller.
I only see this product getting better. Thinner, better device/OS compatibility, lower latency, power delivery through reverse wireless charging etc etc. I carry a ps vita in my bag. This would not only replace my vita but probably make me want to play a video games again. I have never had respect for mobile gaming but this man has changed my mind. I wish you the best of luck. 👏
i just discovered this through Retro Game Corps video and woah.....you've got something really special here. i immediately signed up for emails updates and i can't wait to get my hand on one of these. i'm so amazed that someone so young came up with this before the pros did and that makes the idea even more attractive to me! i'll be supporting in any way i can!
This kid is doing stuff like this when I was struggling in college in my early 20s, you should be very proud (and also respect the quick grab for the patent. You are going to be a very rich man LOL)
@@eternalprogressionwhy do I always hear the smartest people drop out of college and become successful? 😂 You got the best product coming to smartphones man
@@KitchenAppliance if you're smart, you find ways of making money by going to college and finish net positive like I did. All of life is just a probability game with the aim to stack as many cards in your favor as you possibly can. Follow the advice of others who know better than you, learn and know the constraints of the system, flex your limits a bit, and put yourself in as many positions as you possibly can for opportunities to present themselves to you. It is simply just that easy.
Pretty damn cool, I’ve never had a DS, game boy or any other pocket sized handheld consoles, but have always thought they were so awesome. Anything that moves mobile gaming away from the slop content that is being created right now, and closer to that, is golden. Keep up the good work.
i cannot belive that the one controller ive wanted for my iphone all my life, has just been made. and not only that but actually made by a kid!! you are a genius and my hero lol. subscribed! i need to keep up to date with your product and ill be on the waiting line to order the m-con as soon as its available!
With the magsafe cover being removable from the controller body, this could written with any phone if you added a magsafe adapter or case to it. Happy to hear he is keeping Android users in mind. I'd switch to a magsafe compatible case for my S24 Plus in a heartbeat.
Your idea is really perfect. I really get goosebumps now after seeing your hardwork. If there is any mistake in sentence, then please apologise I don't speak english.
It took 13 years for someone to figure out how to make an Xperia Play phone case controller but damn it was worth the wait. Well done man that thing is going to sell like hot cakes if you can get it into production.
it's genuinely hilarious how the industry has not already jumped on this train and created this because this is such a brilliant idea. you are gonna go far kid. well done! my favorite part is definitely the use of 3DS circle pad sliders. i always wished the switch's joycons had these and always had this idea for a circle pad mod, but i never got around to it.
Unfortunately, the website shows a newer model that replaces the 3ds sliders with traditional analog sticks. But tbh I’m not a big fan of the 3ds sliders
A wild shuccle! The industry tried with the Junglecat and Xperia. It might not have been the best time for it, but this is a niche of a niche, so I'm not surprised.
from a hobbyist, congratulations and im rooting for your company. i made this 65 watt usb c power brick that blow the competition out of the water in terms of price without compromising quality, but getting something as basic as a usb c power brick on such a massive market is difficult, so what youve done is basically my dream. keep going, youll get massive someday!
As a game dev this thing actually solves a large issue when designing games for mobile gaming. Mainly that when using a phone the controlls themselves take up valuabel screenspace that is already limited on a mobile device. This is fine for some types of games, but it is very restrictive for many genres. Making a controller connected to the device a norm allows for more genres of games to be viable for mobile.
The thickness is still the problem. The price wouldnt be much of an issue for apple buyers but it looks like its atleast gonna be 50$ so it wont go mainstream on android land.
This is one reason why I am excited for the future of android games that are unique experiences for each android device (ie razr kenshi, backbone, Odin, Logitech G Cloud) the attachable controller or dedicated controller community is widening
Problem is this doesn't solve anything regarding that. There is still no reason for a dev to assume people will have these and have them on them. The only true way to guarantee such a thing would to have it built into the phone. Like Sony did a while back. Id argue a better Idea would be to make a controller built into a case design to just be on your phone all the time. Somehow making it thin enough for people to consider doing that
I always wondered why we never got any decent sliding controllers for phones, since the tech was already proven to be the best way to put buttons on a small device. Congrats on the project, it seems really great and I hope to be able to buy it one day.
There was the Xperia, and Razer Junglecat a decade ago. It's a relatively niche market. You're not competing with just other controllers for phones, you're competing with first party handhelds like the Switch Lite, handheld computers, second-hand handhelds and cheap third party handhelds too.
Thats what i said! I have the same one still collecting dust somewhere. I used it throughout highschool and loved it haha. Just not many games supported it iirc. @@Stylez-13
I smiled the entire video just because this is something I wish had always existed for iPhone. This is the perfect remote for iPhones, amazing design and implementation. This is revolutionary, as you already know.
My man singlehandedly revolutioning the phone gaming market showing sony that they used to have good idea, but didn't do it the right way. If you'll have the android version on your kickstarter sign me up!
I been saying for over 5 years now cellphones need to have something that sits on the back and slides down to play. I dont know how to do all that so glad someone had the same idea. Just protect ur idea well. So other bigger names dont copy u and make u look like the cheap one. Hope u get it out soon and will keep my eye out for u
This is probably one of the best controllers I've ever seen, with amazing amounts of versatility. Kudos to you for sticking with it. I really hope it will be successful. I do hope you make different backplates and potentially sizes for different phones outside of the iphone, like samsung, google, and other large brand android phones.
I think you are one of the few engineers on this platform actually developing stuff that helps the real world consumers rather than just being a flashy gimmick no-one can afford
This really puts into perspective how the handheld gaming scene started to die off. I forgot how nice it was to have a game console in your pocket. I’m really excited for this project!
I love how influential the PSP Go was for this project. It's an amazing handheld, and to see something that truly takes its controller and expand upon it is wild! I'd love to have one of these. :)
Yes!! Also recognize your profile from the OG upload of this!! If you go to our M-Con.co website linked on our link tree your comment is showed off on the site. Thanks for the support man!
@@eternalprogression haha glad you recognize me, I've been eagerly awaiting your reupload. Glad to hear the productions going well enough for you to reupload safley.
Dude you could also very well be a filmmaker, this video for itself is a piece of art, I love your style and I’ll buy the controller instantly when it launches
this is awesome. I think the fact that it can detach leads to endless possibilities for different attachments. Maybe you can design a thumb keyboard attachment for people that prefer the tactile feel of a physical keyboard instead of a touch screen keyboard. Also different controllers with different layouts, maybe a 6-button configuration to make N64/Sega/fighting games more playable
As much as this generation is slowly crumbling, the mega dorks it raised that are now becoming the tech designers of today does make me happy, because we know what our generation wants in terms of tech and gaming while also meshing old ideas and classic design choices to bring in some of us adults and up! Keep on pushing this, please make an android version for launch too!
Mad respect Brow you invented the Playstation Phone. Just a few Years after Sony already did it. No really you did something awesome and I wish you a lot of success with it👍
Android is a priority!!!😇. Hey guys, so I don’t make it too clear in the video (mistake on my end 😂) android is super important to me!! I don’t have one but I know how big it is at abt 70% of users. And it’s actually straight up better at gaming. So this prototype actually already works great with android and I’ll showcase that in my next video. You can add MagSafe to anything with a simple metal sticker that will be included in the box. MagSafe is nothing more than a ring of magnets. And if you look up, (x) android phone plus MagSafe case on Amazon, most likely there’s a case out there for you. But I really don’t wanna ask our users to buy a new case hence the sticker. And actually the case I’m using on my phone right now doesn’t have MagSafe so I’m rocking a sticker!! I’m actually thinking of switching to an android to make sure that that experience is as good as possible with this device!!! Also, one big thing I want to mention, that I had a hard time fitting into the video but is in the description, is that the intro of this video is 178% summoning salt. So thank you so much to HOME for making the most incredible synth wave music ever and for all the tracks in this video❤️. And thank you to @SummoningSalt for introducing so many people to this genre including me and HEAVILY inspiring the intro of this video😅. If you somehow don’t know about him please go check him out. He makes some of the highest quality videos out there. 0:00 We're Finally Landing-HOME 2:06 Before the Night-HOME 3:36 Odyssey-HOME 5:17 Before The Night-HOME 6:33 Sunshower-HOME 9:35 Odyssey-HOME 13:17 Resonance-HOME (432 hz) (slowed + Reverb) Anyway thank you guys so much for the support, I’ve had so much fun reading all the comments!!!! Keep them coming!!!!😁
@@AnubisTheSonOfRaThen don't use it. This thing is focused on portability, compromises will always be expected. In this case the controller literally slides out of the case like a sliding phone, there's is no way to have this kind of portability with regular sticks. If you want the form factors of actual controllers then just lug that around.
It's good to see the transparency. "I’m actually thinking of switching to an android to make sure that that experience is as good as possible with this device!!!" Does that mean you may have a second SKU for android?
Razer Junglecat for iphone 5: Am I some kind of joke to you? In fact, if you search for “Gamepad slider” you will find many such projects. This guy literally reinvented the wheel, but he still did a good job.
This is the same reason that I actually fell in love with the psp go. The small sliding form factor makes it so small that it fits in my pocket for my day to day life. Even if the controller is for iPhones, I am so hype to witness this.
I've been searching for something like this since 2016 after 3 years of playing on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Play R800i. It was the best mobile gaming experience I've ever had. I cannot thank you enough for this project you're making. I'm preordering without a doubt
Nice, man. I'm rooting for you. My uncle was a great engineer and just passed away recently. Something about seeing this video made me very happy. I love when someone comes up with a cool idea and is driven to execute on it. You never know which idea is going to be "the one" that changes your life (and the lives of others)! Cheers from r/SBCGaming.
I have wanted this format for soo long and even took to designing a bulkier wired one a while ago using broken PSP go parts. Then life and distractions. 10 years later and you have this, which looks neater and slicker and overall is everything I ever wanted. Kudos and can't wait to order a few.
Really cool, love the idea! Very clever that it has a kickstand if you detach the controller part. 👌 I would totally get one of these for my S24 Ultra with a magnetic case.
never commented when i initially watched this video but just wanna say im super excited to see where this controller goes, i was always a fan of the psp go's design but they're obviously incredibly rare to find nowadays, so i can't wait to have a similar experience on my phone! keep up the good work and passion, can't wait to see where this ends up!
@@eternalprogressionokay so I’m not insane. When I upgraded my phone to iPhone 14 months ago I searched for hours for this video because I wanted to make one 😂
I am very happy for you. I am also glad you mentioned Android support. Amazing! Also, please heavily consider ensuring the device can be repaired by the end user, such as swapping out failed sticks or batteries. Ensuring the device isn't glued shut or the battery is glued to the device would go a LONG WAY to ensuring you don't create e-waste. Please remember the fight for Apple to do the right thing and help be a part of the repair revolution!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Yesss!!!!!!!!!!! Yes yes yes this comment makes me so happy. I am a HUGE component for this. And not just repairability and ensuring longevity. And selling replacement parts. But I want the customer to OWN what they have just paid for. Meaning I’d like it to be mod-able. I really think the modding community. Could be big for this. That WOULD mean open sourcing the STL and STEP files which I may not be able to do. But it’s something I realllyyyy want to.
This is fire🔥..just sensetional...i have a mobile gamepad, its good but because its bulky ..it is extremely difficult to take with me , i always need a bag...but with this i can put both the controller and Phone in the pocket and im ready to go....i cant wait to get my hands on this....Good luck man..that is a million dollar product you got there man...keep up the Grind...we are waiting
Here from the Delta subreddit, this is seriously such a neat invention! I’ve been dying for something exactly like it ever since the emulator floodgates opened lol. Hyped to see this become a reality, I’ll be following its development 🙏🙏🙏
Damn the transparent prototype at 6:28 looked so cool! I hope somewhere down the line you release either translucent colour or plain transparent version variants like the one at 6:28 you displayed. I would 100% pick one up!! Congrats on the work, you've put some serious innovative creativity and designing into all of this, genuinely hope you all the success with the project! :)
You should be proud of this device! I've been looking for something like this for about a year now and nothing compares to the design you've made. I signed up for the notification for pre-orders. Very excite!
Dude, I’ve been telling people for a while how it was stupid they have not put discrete control sticks on a phone like the 3DS sticks. Your design is exactly what I had in mind. They slacking!
Sony did over a decade ago with the Xperia Play, iirc as a spiritual successor to the PSP Go. Unfortunately hardware of the day was weak, OS controller support outside of Xperia's dedicated app sucked, and the display ribbon cable was pretty fragile (My display failed around the 2 year mark). After that the market solidly slid into the black slate style of smartphone. This design though rocks, and avoids the issue of having a permanently attached controller.
I am absolutely blown away away by your idea! And I have to say that I am really happy to see guys my age be so passionate and dedicated to produce something so cool! I would definitely buy it when you’re ready to sell it! And listen r]to people I comments about hiring a lawyer it’s definitely an idea that people will want to
Ive never been more proud of someone ive never met. This is beyond exciting, i just subbed to the pre order email and hoping that it isn’t to costly when released, im looking forward to picking one up

@@SweetTodd They can't do anything unless they can prove you pirated the games. And even if they could it's not financially worth it to go after a single person, they go after people directly or indirectly contribute to piracy. So it's fine, keep doing whatcha doing.
They’d have to prove he pirated the games, also Emulation is completely legal in USA no matter what system you emulate on.
Also Nintendo tends to only go after those who advertise places to download roms of their games or download their bios/firmware. Example Ryujinx and UA-camrs who promoted the usage of them and such.
He'll be okay. The company itself isn't doing anything with Nintendo. It's a controller that could play games on IOS.
This is 1000% gonna be a hit especially with the fact that its so compact and light
This is dope. I play tons of emulation on my phone.
Protect yourself at all cost, this is something that I as a gamer only dreamed about. This is GOLD! Keep that drive that you got going and don’t let them talk you down or steal your product
Take it easy, man. It will sell pretty well, but it's hardly gonna be on Apple's radar.
@@harrydavey9884everything starts somewhere :)
Already a thing years ago. Just look at the Bladepad.
as a android emulation nut, this scratches just about every itch I could have hoped for! I already use a magsafe case on my android phone so this feels like a no brainer to pick up!!
whats even better is that DBrand (one of the biggest specialty case makers) have implimented magsafe into their android cases, so just about anyone could use this!
i do hope that your future designs will make the back a bit more universal with its camera cutout so that many other iphone sizes or even android phones could make use of this controller
Awesome!!! I really want to make sure it works with as many phones as possible! We will have a couple top plates that would work perfectly with all the most popular androids and iPhone. Like conform as good as a case would. And also make sure it works with pretty much any case you would have in those phones. Then one that is slightly compromised. Maybe it doesn’t like perfectly conform with the camera shape. But it will work with literally anything. But if we get enough funding or if it is successful, the first thing I’m doing with the money is making more top plates so it works with as many phones as humanly possible!! Old, new, and five years in the future new! AND we will include a MagSafe sticker in the box! So even if you don’t have a case with MagSafe you can add it to your phone. I’m actually using one now. The case I’m using doesn’t have it! Even if we don’t have enough money or there is some crazy unusual phone out there someone want it to work with I think we make it 3d printable and release the STL so people can just do it themselves. The sliding rails can bought separately and added to a 3d printed top. That’s the plan!😁
@eternalprogression this is amazing, so exited to buy one when it's ready!
3d printing opens up a whole world for bedroom engineers. Good job young man. 👍
I just waiting to get my hands on one, and never let go
im 17 and getting a 3d printer for my 16th birthday was what started me off on designing things. its so fun to be able to make any (scuffed or otherwise) 3d model and just have it there in person, in a couple hours, in my room. it's such an easy way to bring any random idea to life
Gone are the days of having to be a rich scientist with a massive lab to invent and revolutionize. With the power of the internet and tools like a 3D printer, the average joe can tinker and invent stuff.
Everybody just casually ignoring the fact that this kid has cad skills no 3D printer is going to help with.
It's so nice seeing this video, I actually sell phone cases that allow you to connect razor jungle cat controllers to your phone. They've been really successful!
3D printing makes it all possible, it's wild how if I just want something I just make it
the design is so impressive, man. with some good branding and crowdfunding I can see this skyrocketing into a nationally treasured product. great work bro :)
Can we just talk about the charm of him spinning it on a string for a 360 showcase
😂
You could say he’s a charming guy!

saw this on reddit earlier, was suprised when youtube actually recommended me this
I don't even have the right phone for this and I'm still excited.
the funny thing is that there are plenty of android phone cases that support magsafe, there are even magsafe stickers you can buy on amazon that will allow you to use the magsafe accessories.
ive been using a magsafe case on my s24 for a year now and its been a game changer for portable chargers
I've got a five dollar magnet sticker on my case that's holding up really well.
yeah, I have Android but this thing is SICK!!
Yea. Its a really sick design. Would love one for my Samsung Note
Yeah, one of that for Android would be total banger
You're a smart person and passionate. Worst case scenario, if this project gets taken down, release the information for 3D Printing and custom PCBs to be manufactured for us!
You sold me on this in your first Reddit post. I hope this comes to Kickstarter soon so I can support it! Can’t wait to get my hands on one
A “Fine I’ll do it myself” moment. 😮💨🙏🏼
I've been waiting for someone to do that for years.
"Small youtube channel makes a killer product with great production value" has to be my favorite UA-cam genre. Good luck with this!!!
This!!
Wow! Perfect GamePad! Big Respect 👍❤️ Great idea! I would like to test that. I would even come back with my channel to show it. Brilliant! Greetings from Germany 👋
Brooo this is what I always wanted for a phoneee😭 Xperia Play style. You've done a very good job.
Honestly been wanting an Xperia Play successor forever and it's finally here.
This was just posted 7 hours ago? Yeah I witnessed history the day it happened
😂!
Right
Real shit
I was there Gandalf
literally
This is SUCH A GREAT INVENTION! Seriously, it's mind-boggling that literally NO OTHER company ever thought about taking inspiration from the PSP Go's sliding mechanic. May your new company grow!
Not only is the idea and design incredible, but the storytelling, video and production of this video amazing and done better than so many people with 100x better equipment.
INCREDIBLE
As someone who owns a PSP Go™ I really hope your product is successful. This is the perfect form factor for an ultra portable gaming controller. Looking forward to seeing the retail version for Android in the future.
The Xperia play already did it and failed
@@Stylez-13 I would have loved to have one. Too young at the time to just request a phone on a whim
@@Stylez-13 I had a friend who had a Sony Xperia Play and it was the coolest thing ever. She mentioned that she could also hook it up to a PS3 and use it to play music from the phone through the console. And yes, unfortunately it failed as a product. But the difference between Josh's M-Con controller and the Sony Xperia Play is that the M-Con controller is detachable, and can fit any device it was made for (so far just the iPhones with MagSafe support). So hopefully, this controller will be successful.
@@MazharHuq I still got my xleria play for it on clearance at Fry's for $99 unlocked 😁 oh I see so an Xperia play type controller for any phone 📱 I can get behind that
@@Stylez-13 In fairness to the Xperia Play, I don't think it's a stretch to say it was a decade ahead of it's time when you think about the progression mobile CPUs have made since then, it's night and day, you can run X86 software on Android using compatibility layers now, I doubt anyone was even thinking about that in 2011 when the Xperia Play released
Then consider the amount of third party support it would have at launch if it launched today with Steam Remote Play, Xbox Game Streaming, Antstream Arcade among everything else, back in the day I think OnLive was the only game streaming service and let's be honest internet connections weren't good enough to even bother, only reason it might not succeed if they did a V2 today imo is that it'd probably be as price prohibitive as it was in 2011 (Around double the price of a Samsung Galaxy S2 in the UK if memory serves)
dude i'm not even 3 minutes in and i'm just having the thought that i've been looking for a phone controller that doesn't make me say "this is cumbersome i should just use my 3DS or vita instead" for ages and this is the first one i've SEEN that actually breaks that thought
I think even Steve Jobs would be impressed but he would NEVER admit it. Congratulations on your success and for not quitting.
Probably would have overwork ya and take most of the profits.
I can think of at least one reason he would never admit it…
@@LiamHighducheck Same reason John Hancock would never admit it 😂
Well, Steve certainly can't object now.
I totally see it changing the mobile gaming scene. So exiting to get me one. You really solved all the problems i had with the controllers in the market rn and its only gonna be better from here on.
Your passion for this project is palpable and infectious. Here’s hoping your dream becomes a reality and this changes the landscape for mobile gaming ❤
Thank you!!! I really think it will!!!
I love how home-made this video is lmao. The controller spinning off a string, the grainy 3D printer footage, the button click sounds of the recording ending, it's all ironically perfect
Really truly love small businesses for this reason. It’s so defiantly human, not a product made for money, or to benefit from a trend, but someone who loves games, and gaming, making something that solves an actual problem, not catering to a niche, but loving you community. Hope this goes places, would love to see these in GameStop and the like.
Exactly! I want to keep it that way
@@eternalprogression you better!
This is why I bought and loved the Sony Xperia Play back in 2011! I would love to experience that again concept with modern hardware like this!
‘Bro what kind of phone do you use’ your invention reminds me of a DS the possibility of this is crazy I reallly wish I can get one
Not only is it incredible and a revolution, it could be used for any smartphone with a magsafe sticker, it fits in a pocket as if it were another phone and most importantly, the format is so incredible that it opens a world of possibilities, a complete keyboard as in the old blackberrys? controls for photographers? a dac device inside with buttons dedicated to music playback, it is such a versatile format that it could be used for everything and be able to carry several in a backpack without feeling like carrying a closet
Camera cutout though...
@@kdizzy07 It's magsafe though, you're .5 secs away from having your camera ready, my iPhone X takes longer than that just to load the camera app lmao
@@thenono1 So now you need 2 empty hands whenever you need to use the camera
or a speaker block too!
@@kdizzy07 Sure, if you don't have a pocket or even the ground to set it on. The mounting plate also has a cutout for the camera so you can just slide the controller out if you don't want to take it off. Weirdly hostile comment.
you need to talk to a lawyer about copyrights dude...
Do you mean patents? In his community post he says he took down his previous video so he could do the patent work. That is why some of the clips are blurred .
He uses somebody else's hardware for the controller, he just add the magsafe and a 3d print shell, a patent will be... Complicated
@@casternvo_4940 We have a patent already 😁.
@@casternvo_4940 Not if he optimizes the PCB and the shell. Magsafe can still be an issue, I agree, but in my opinion it shouldn't be one.
Preface: I’m not a patent lawyer. From my understanding mag safe is an open standard. That is why you can get android mag safe cases and the manufacturers aren’t being sued by Apple.
I expect the patent would be for the sliding, locking, removable rail integrated into a controller.
I only see this product getting better. Thinner, better device/OS compatibility, lower latency, power delivery through reverse wireless charging etc etc. I carry a ps vita in my bag. This would not only replace my vita but probably make me want to play a video games again. I have never had respect for mobile gaming but this man has changed my mind. I wish you the best of luck. 👏
i just discovered this through Retro Game Corps video and woah.....you've got something really special here. i immediately signed up for emails updates and i can't wait to get my hand on one of these. i'm so amazed that someone so young came up with this before the pros did and that makes the idea even more attractive to me! i'll be supporting in any way i can!
This kid is doing stuff like this when I was struggling in college in my early 20s, you should be very proud (and also respect the quick grab for the patent. You are going to be a very rich man LOL)

you cannot understand how much time i spent on aliexpress looking for something at least similar to this in the past year, you truly blessed me
Years I would say . Like myself
Pretty damn cool, I’ve never had a DS, game boy or any other pocket sized handheld consoles, but have always thought they were so awesome. Anything that moves mobile gaming away from the slop content that is being created right now, and closer to that, is golden. Keep up the good work.
Yes!!! I want to brink back that gen 7 magic!!!
Even if that means I have to make our own games…😼😼😼😼😼
Xperia Play walked on 2011 so this dude could run in 2024 =)
12 days ago, i saw this video. since then i have never felt the urge to get myself a phone controller more.
i cannot belive that the one controller ive wanted for my iphone all my life, has just been made. and not only that but actually made by a kid!! you are a genius and my hero lol. subscribed! i need to keep up to date with your product and ill be on the waiting line to order the m-con as soon as its available!
dude, he simply copied the design of the Razor Junglecat
Bro, Android people need you too. We can get magsafe cases. Don't forget about us!!!
This is how entrepreneurs are made; a bright person sees a need and fills it when no one else will.
There is a reason no one has Sony patented this long ago
@@Cyricaaalmao why are you so salty😂
This is amazing, the design is awesome, me and my PSP Go are watching this crying
With the magsafe cover being removable from the controller body, this could written with any phone if you added a magsafe adapter or case to it. Happy to hear he is keeping Android users in mind. I'd switch to a magsafe compatible case for my S24 Plus in a heartbeat.
Same
Your idea is really perfect. I really get goosebumps now after seeing your hardwork.
If there is any mistake in sentence, then please apologise I don't speak english.
It took 13 years for someone to figure out how to make an Xperia Play phone case controller but damn it was worth the wait. Well done man that thing is going to sell like hot cakes if you can get it into production.
No, just 3. The razer junglecat in 2014
it's genuinely hilarious how the industry has not already jumped on this train and created this because this is such a brilliant idea. you are gonna go far kid. well done!
my favorite part is definitely the use of 3DS circle pad sliders. i always wished the switch's joycons had these and always had this idea for a circle pad mod, but i never got around to it.
Unfortunately, the website shows a newer model that replaces the 3ds sliders with traditional analog sticks. But tbh I’m not a big fan of the 3ds sliders
@@commanderglowsquid8969 NOOOOOOOO... guess i'll just have to do it myself then.
A wild shuccle!
The industry tried with the Junglecat and Xperia. It might not have been the best time for it, but this is a niche of a niche, so I'm not surprised.
they did, i don't know why the kid keeps saying he's the first one to make it. try googling sliding phone controller
This is amazing. Orders of magnitude beyond literally every competitor. I’m also so glad that it wasn’t Apple who got to it first.
Awesome work man!
So many of wanted a modern Xperia Play phone, or a slide controller. But you actually did it.
from a hobbyist, congratulations and im rooting for your company. i made this 65 watt usb c power brick that blow the competition out of the water in terms of price without compromising quality, but getting something as basic as a usb c power brick on such a massive market is difficult, so what youve done is basically my dream. keep going, youll get massive someday!
As a game dev this thing actually solves a large issue when designing games for mobile gaming. Mainly that when using a phone the controlls themselves take up valuabel screenspace that is already limited on a mobile device. This is fine for some types of games, but it is very restrictive for many genres. Making a controller connected to the device a norm allows for more genres of games to be viable for mobile.
The thickness is still the problem. The price wouldnt be much of an issue for apple buyers but it looks like its atleast gonna be 50$ so it wont go mainstream on android land.
This is one reason why I am excited for the future of android games that are unique experiences for each android device (ie razr kenshi, backbone, Odin, Logitech G Cloud) the attachable controller or dedicated controller community is widening
@@bulletpunch9317That and heat, don't mind playing on my phone but I ain't trying to hold a ho slab of metal later 😅
Problem is this doesn't solve anything regarding that. There is still no reason for a dev to assume people will have these and have them on them. The only true way to guarantee such a thing would to have it built into the phone. Like Sony did a while back.
Id argue a better Idea would be to make a controller built into a case design to just be on your phone all the time. Somehow making it thin enough for people to consider doing that
@@masterace9543 looks like heat can be solved somewhat with the frore airjet
I always wondered why we never got any decent sliding controllers for phones, since the tech was already proven to be the best way to put buttons on a small device.
Congrats on the project, it seems really great and I hope to be able to buy it one day.
There was the Xperia, and Razer Junglecat a decade ago. It's a relatively niche market. You're not competing with just other controllers for phones, you're competing with first party handhelds like the Switch Lite, handheld computers, second-hand handhelds and cheap third party handhelds too.
He's 20 years old, 20 years old! Well done kid, I hope this takes off, and you make a ton of money from it because this is amazing!
This video is actually insane. My man, whether you believe it, your controller will be THE next big thing!
Looks almost exactly like the failed "PlayStation phone" Xperia play I own
Thats what i said! I have the same one still collecting dust somewhere. I used it throughout highschool and loved it haha. Just not many games supported it iirc. @@Stylez-13
Wait till the retro handheld youtubers get a hold of this. Looking forward to every update you make after this.
Why this hasn't existed for years is beyond me. The Playstation phone looked so cool back in the day and I still love the design of the PSP GO.
I smiled the entire video just because this is something I wish had always existed for iPhone. This is the perfect remote for iPhones, amazing design and implementation. This is revolutionary, as you already know.
My man singlehandedly revolutioning the phone gaming market showing sony that they used to have good idea, but didn't do it the right way. If you'll have the android version on your kickstarter sign me up!
I been saying for over 5 years now cellphones need to have something that sits on the back and slides down to play. I dont know how to do all that so glad someone had the same idea. Just protect ur idea well. So other bigger names dont copy u and make u look like the cheap one. Hope u get it out soon and will keep my eye out for u
This is probably one of the best controllers I've ever seen, with amazing amounts of versatility. Kudos to you for sticking with it. I really hope it will be successful.
I do hope you make different backplates and potentially sizes for different phones outside of the iphone, like samsung, google, and other large brand android phones.
I think you are one of the few engineers on this platform actually developing stuff that helps the real world consumers rather than just being a flashy gimmick no-one can afford
Fly high dude. Fly high…
This really puts into perspective how the handheld gaming scene started to die off. I forgot how nice it was to have a game console in your pocket. I’m really excited for this project!
I love how influential the PSP Go was for this project. It's an amazing handheld, and to see something that truly takes its controller and expand upon it is wild! I'd love to have one of these. :)
PSP Go and Xperia Play were thinner than this.
@@themodfather9382 they certainly were.

Dude you could also very well be a filmmaker, this video for itself is a piece of art, I love your style and I’ll buy the controller instantly when it launches
Thanks man!
man i am excited as hell to see your future. GL man.
this is awesome. I think the fact that it can detach leads to endless possibilities for different attachments. Maybe you can design a thumb keyboard attachment for people that prefer the tactile feel of a physical keyboard instead of a touch screen keyboard. Also different controllers with different layouts, maybe a 6-button configuration to make N64/Sega/fighting games more playable
As much as this generation is slowly crumbling, the mega dorks it raised that are now becoming the tech designers of today does make me happy, because we know what our generation wants in terms of tech and gaming while also meshing old ideas and classic design choices to bring in some of us adults and up! Keep on pushing this, please make an android version for launch too!
Mad respect Brow you invented the Playstation Phone. Just a few Years after Sony already did it. No really you did something awesome and I wish you a lot of success with it👍
Nice project, love the design :)
Android is a priority!!!😇. Hey guys, so I don’t make it too clear in the video (mistake on my end 😂) android is super important to me!! I don’t have one but I know how big it is at abt 70% of users. And it’s actually straight up better at gaming.
So this prototype actually already works great with android and I’ll showcase that in my next video. You can add MagSafe to anything with a simple metal sticker that will be included in the box. MagSafe is nothing more than a ring of magnets. And if you look up, (x) android phone plus MagSafe case on Amazon, most likely there’s a case out there for you. But I really don’t wanna ask our users to buy a new case hence the sticker. And actually the case I’m using on my phone right now doesn’t have MagSafe so I’m rocking a sticker!!
I’m actually thinking of switching to an android to make sure that that experience is as good as possible with this device!!!
Also, one big thing I want to mention, that I had a hard time fitting into the video but is in the description, is that the intro of this video is 178% summoning salt. So thank you so much to HOME for making the most incredible synth wave music ever and for all the tracks in this video❤️.

I ain’t reading all that shit. The controller seems like shit, cuz of the joysticks.
@@AnubisTheSonOfRaThen don't use it. This thing is focused on portability, compromises will always be expected. In this case the controller literally slides out of the case like a sliding phone, there's is no way to have this kind of portability with regular sticks. If you want the form factors of actual controllers then just lug that around.
The part about having to convince your team of the amount of Android users is why people call iPhone users snobs. They do it to themselves. Lol
It's good to see the transparency.
"I’m actually thinking of switching to an android to make sure that that experience is as good as possible with this device!!!"
Does that mean you may have a second SKU for android?
Patent asap
Honestly Blows my mind no one came up with this until now. Sony was so close with the Xperia Play years ago. I'm hyped!
Razer Junglecat for iphone 5: Am I some kind of joke to you?
In fact, if you search for “Gamepad slider” you will find many such projects. This guy literally reinvented the wheel, but he still did a good job.
This is the same reason that I actually fell in love with the psp go. The small sliding form factor makes it so small that it fits in my pocket for my day to day life. Even if the controller is for iPhones, I am so hype to witness this.
We all know this is gonna get announced next year through an apple event 🎉 congrats man. Best iphone accessory
This is what I've been waiting for. It's been 3000 years...
dude, the sound volume knob increase edit gave me chills. I'm definitely stealing that
I've been searching for something like this since 2016 after 3 years of playing on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Play R800i. It was the best mobile gaming experience I've ever had. I cannot thank you enough for this project you're making. I'm preordering without a doubt
I am hope you get the traction and support you deserve man this is so awesome.
Nice, man. I'm rooting for you. My uncle was a great engineer and just passed away recently. Something about seeing this video made me very happy. I love when someone comes up with a cool idea and is driven to execute on it. You never know which idea is going to be "the one" that changes your life (and the lives of others)! Cheers from r/SBCGaming.
I have wanted this format for soo long and even took to designing a bulkier wired one a while ago using broken PSP go parts. Then life and distractions. 10 years later and you have this, which looks neater and slicker and overall is everything I ever wanted. Kudos and can't wait to order a few.
Really cool, love the idea! Very clever that it has a kickstand if you detach the controller part. 👌
I would totally get one of these for my S24 Ultra with a magnetic case.
never commented when i initially watched this video but just wanna say im super excited to see where this controller goes, i was always a fan of the psp go's design but they're obviously incredibly rare to find nowadays, so i can't wait to have a similar experience on my phone! keep up the good work and passion, can't wait to see where this ends up!
I need this. A controller you can attach to your phone that is also pocketable is a big plus.
I can’t wait to go back to this video in 10 years times. This is history right here
no this shit are in phones more than 10 years, just not in Iphones

Saw you chatting with Retro Game Corps on Reddit about this. To be clear, if you do this right, you’re about to blast the fuck off.
I love retro game corps and I just discovered this today. Can you point to where RGC talked about this?
I’m going to buy one and preorder!!!!🎉🎉🎉
I am very happy for you. I am also glad you mentioned Android support. Amazing!
Also, please heavily consider ensuring the device can be repaired by the end user, such as swapping out failed sticks or batteries. Ensuring the device isn't glued shut or the battery is glued to the device would go a LONG WAY to ensuring you don't create e-waste.
Please remember the fight for Apple to do the right thing and help be a part of the repair revolution!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Yesss!!!!!!!!!!! Yes yes yes this comment makes me so happy. I am a HUGE component for this. And not just repairability and ensuring longevity. And selling replacement parts. But I want the customer to OWN what they have just paid for. Meaning I’d like it to be mod-able. I really think the modding community. Could be big for this. That WOULD mean open sourcing the STL and STEP files which I may not be able to do. But it’s something I realllyyyy want to.
This is fire🔥..just sensetional...i have a mobile gamepad, its good but because its bulky ..it is extremely difficult to take with me , i always need a bag...but with this i can put both the controller and Phone in the pocket and im ready to go....i cant wait to get my hands on this....Good luck man..that is a million dollar product you got there man...keep up the Grind...we are waiting
It was awesome to try this hands-on at Open Sauce! I am for sure going to nab one of these as soon as it hits shelves. Excellent excellent work!
move fast before companies copy you. also implementing a battery bank that charges through the mag safe would be dope
China has already started their production run.
Here from the Delta subreddit, this is seriously such a neat invention! I’ve been dying for something exactly like it ever since the emulator floodgates opened lol. Hyped to see this become a reality, I’ll be following its development 🙏🙏🙏
Damn the transparent prototype at 6:28 looked so cool! I hope somewhere down the line you release either translucent colour or plain transparent version variants like the one at 6:28 you displayed. I would 100% pick one up!! Congrats on the work, you've put some serious innovative creativity and designing into all of this, genuinely hope you all the success with the project! :)
Necessity truly is the mother of invention… nice job kid!
You should be proud of this device! I've been looking for something like this for about a year now and nothing compares to the design you've made. I signed up for the notification for pre-orders. Very excite!
Dude, I’ve been telling people for a while how it was stupid they have not put discrete control sticks on a phone like the 3DS sticks. Your design is exactly what I had in mind. They slacking!
Sony did over a decade ago with the Xperia Play, iirc as a spiritual successor to the PSP Go. Unfortunately hardware of the day was weak, OS controller support outside of Xperia's dedicated app sucked, and the display ribbon cable was pretty fragile (My display failed around the 2 year mark). After that the market solidly slid into the black slate style of smartphone.
This design though rocks, and avoids the issue of having a permanently attached controller.
I am absolutely blown away away by your idea! And I have to say that I am really happy to see guys my age be so passionate and dedicated to produce something so cool! I would definitely buy it when you’re ready to sell it! And listen r]to people I comments about hiring a lawyer it’s definitely an idea that people will want to
