FAQs

Does it work with my device?

In short, YES!

In long, yes with a caveat. We have released device specific grips for the following devices:

  • Steam Deck
  • Nintendo Switch
  • ROG Ally
  • ROG Ally X
  • PS Portal

For all other devices, including if you have a case on your device, we recommend the Universal Grip.


We are constantly adding more grips for devices. Want to have a vote on what we make next? Join our Discord!

Will it hold my phone?

The only way it works right now with a phone is if you use our Phone mount and clip it to the bottom Mechanism clip on the hard pillow top. Here is how to configure your Phone Mount to work with the Gaming Pillow.

The Mechanism mount at the top of the pillow mount is male, meaning the mating piece would have to be female (like the Universal Grip for example).

You could in theory adhere the Universal grip on the back of your phone case, but it's probably thicker than you'd like and it would interfere with the Magsafe.

For this reason, we DO NOT currently recommend using the Gaming Pillow specifically for only your phone.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, but because we are such a small company, we don't have the scale or volume to get good rates. This means that sometimes these rates are ludicrous.

Just know that we do not make money on this. What you pay is what we pay. It's just a shitty thing that exists because we aren't big enough yet.

What does your lifetime warranty mean?

In all honesty, we want to do business in an upfront and honest way. If you feel you deserve it, we will most likely honor it.

Chat us and you'll reach one of two people: Siri, the founder, or Saibi, his cousin that helps with customer service every once in a while.

The things that don't require good vibes though: Manufacturing defects, design problems, if specific things are breaking at no fault of your own.

Critically: we want to know what broke and how. This isn't to pass judgement on you. It helps us make the product better in the future, and to make sure your issue isn't something widespread.

When will my order ship?

We sold out of our first batch in actually 12 hours, a response I truly didn't anticipate.

We luckily had a shipment coming right behind our first one. It is already on the boat and on the way.

If you placed your order after 9:03PM PST on 8/16, your ENTIRE order will ship from this batch between 9/15 and 9/22.

Will the product make me a better gamer?

Yes.

Chipped my Steam Deck

The top of the grip caught on my Steam Deck and put some big scratches or gouges into its shell.

It sounds like this is a known issue, but I was unaware of it when I bought the pillow/grip. I don't think I would have bought it if I had known this was likely.

It seems like more soft plastic/rubber should cover those sharper points on the grip.

If you choose to purchase before this issue is addressed (in the event that it is), make sure you always take the grip off from the bottom, as shown on the video here:

However, it seems to me like this damage is still possible from the grip catching on seams where the pieces of the Steam Deck's shell meet.

The workaround may be to leave the grip on 24/7 and snap it into the pillow 's mount each time you use it, assuming it will sit in your dock of choice to charge between playing.

Personally, I'm frustrated enough that I may simply stop using the whole setup.

Otherwise I was happy with the function of the pillow/arm for the few days I used it before the damage.

It fit even with my grip case just snapped on without issue. I haven’t sat down and used it but moving it around and the arm omg. This might become an issues because my sessions are going to be so much longer now. Love it.

Excellent

I don't typically leave reviews but I enjoy using this pillow so much I felt I should. It's the perfect way to lounge and play the steam deck for long periods. Mechanism was also very responsive to my questions. The support i received was beyond generous. I highly recommend this product and Mechanism as a company to support!
