It’s hard to believe that it’s been more than two years since the sliding magnetic controller that we now know as MCON was introduced to the world in a YouTube video. At the time, it was heavily focused on the Apple ecosystem, but now that the device is finally out, it’s turned into so much more.
Sure, it still has MagSafe magnets, but now so do Pixel phones. Magnets on phones are here to stay, and MCON is one of the first gaming controllers trying to take advantage of them with a sliding design that calls back to the legendary PSP Go and Xperia Play.
