HOW TO USE

MCON

GUIDE

USING YOUR CONTROLLER

THE BASICS

ATTACH YOUR PHONE

Set your MagSafe phone or case onto MCON and let the magnets do the work. If your phone feels loose, turn it 180 degrees.

Don't have MagSafe? Scroll down to the ANDROID INSTALL tab.

CENTER YOUR SCREEN 

If your screen is off center, remove your phone and slide the magnetic mount left or right. This adjustment is only personal preference.

PRESS THE BIG BUTTON

Firmly grip your MCON and press the Quick Launch button. Be wary of tilting the controller downward when activating MCON, as gravity combined with the spring force can eject your device.

YOU'RE READY TO GAME.

MCON slides into action! MCON can now be powered on - it automatically sleeps when closed.

ACTIVATE THE HANDLES

Grab the handles near the triggers for the best leverage, then pull straight down - not inward. The handles pivot from the USB-C side of the controller.

EJECT & KICKSTAND

HOLD EJECT AND PULL COVER

To eject, press and hold the eject button and pull the cover straight out. 

PULL THE KICKSTAND UNTIL IT LOCKS

The kickstand will lock into the optimal position. Reattach your phone if necessary. You're ready to game on any tabletop.

TO REINSERT, CLOSE KICKSTAND

Click the kickstand back into it's closed position.

SLOT KICKSTAND BACK IN

Slide the kickstand back into the body of the controller. If the cover is floppy - do not force it closed. Eject the cover and restart the process. Ensure the kickstand stays fully closed when you are reinserting it.

MULTI PAIR

Title

DOUBLE TAP PAIR TO SWITCH PAIR SLOT

When you double tap the pair button, MCON will switch to a different pair slot. This swap takes about 2 seconds. The blue LED will then flash the number of times corresponding to the pair slot.

THE NUMBER CORRESPONDS TO MCON'S PAIR SLOT

MCON will appear in your device's Bluetooth settings with the pair slot number. For example: OHSNAP MCON I, OHSNAP MCON II, and OHSNAP MCON III.

ANDROID INSTALL

WE RECOMMEND USING A MAGSAFE CASE WHEN POSSIBLE.

These are available for almost all Android phones and ensure better experience with MCON and wireless chargers.

REMOVE ADAPTER LINING

Grab the MagSafe adapter ring from your box and remove the adhesive liner.

APPLY TO CENTER OF YOUR PHONE

Place the adapter as close to the center of the back of your phone as possible, both vertically and horizontally. The further off center, the worse wireless charging performance will be. Let the adhesive cure for 24 hours before attaching MCON.
