"Honestly I was a little skeptical at first. But I gotta say, I'm a believer now. Holds phone in both orientations and holds it well. It doesn't slip or turn unless I want it to. I ended up getting other mounts too. Great Stuff!"

Evolves with you and your devices.

We are not just a brand. Our ecosystem is built out of spite for bad design to expand with you as your collection grows.

Open Source Spirit

We don’t hoard innovation, we share it. Our designs started on Reddit and we always give away 3D files for free. If you’re a maker, you’re in the right place.

Small team, big ideas

No boardrooms. No VC money. We're just a few people solving real gaming problems like it's our job. Oh wait, it is.

Less friction. More function.

Every product exists because something out there sucked. Our reviews don’t lie. People use words like “finally,” “perfect,” and “why didn’t this exist before?”

Mechanism
Built by frustration. Improved by obsession.

The only mounting system made just for gamers.

We’re building an ecosystem that makes your setup cleaner, your sessions longer, and your life easier. Every product fits together. Every new release upgrades the last, fixing all the pain in so called "Portable Gaming".

Over 35,000 orders later, we’re still weird, still scrappy, and still giving away free 3D files so you can build, remix, or hack it yourself.

Welcome to the only gaming brand where frustration leads to innovation - and your arms don’t fall asleep mid-boss fight.

The pillow to kill all pillows.

Mechanism’s Gaming pillow brings joy to playing my steam deck especially in bed. Awesome job guys, keep up the great work!

Very good mounting for converting a 17mm ball mount to the mechanism ecosystem. It has a good lock and isnt too difficult to latch and unlatch!

Excellent!

Exactly what I needed! Works with most ball joint mounts (it works with the 2 I have). The locking mechanism is a nice touch, and adds some extra piece of mind.

Works great!

I use the ball socket mount to play Steam Deck in bed, and it works perfectly. The Deck is heavy, but this things holds it in a very sturdy way.

Perfect solution

I've been looking for a way to play the Steam Deck in bed without ruining my arms. I already had a tablet arm on my bed, but standard tablet holders struggle to maintain a grip on the Steam Deck due to its size and weight.

Enter this ball socket mount. It adapts perfectly to my existing arm. I was slightly worried that given the angle the device is held at, the Deck's weight might unhook from the mount, but the designer anticipated this and added a tab that locks the sliding part of the mount ensuring that is not possible.

Excellently designed solution and also very cheap if you already have one of these 17mm ball joint arms. Highly recommended.
