Go naked.

You don't care about protection; you live on the wild side. You crave freedom and airflow. Be bold. Expose the ports and caress those highly engineered curves.

Unlike the upcoming Basecase, the Basegrip is for gamers who want all of the utility without any of the bulk.

Zelda Notes, take note.

Nintendo has abandoned the DS, not us. Keep your phone close while you find those Korok Seeds.

10,000% Dockable

Gaming isn't about making sacrifices... unless you're playing Cult of the Lamb, so yeah it fits in the dock.

Kickstand compatible

Remember what we just said about sacrifices? Well, here is another one you won't have to make. You can install the grip under the built in kickstand when needed.

3D print for free

It's tradition around here to offer our grips (and even some mounts) for free to 3D print and remix yourself. This grip is no different, so have at it.

Oh, BANANA!

Remove your Joy-Cons, kick your feet up, and find those bananas.

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.

Gaming Pillow - Mechanism

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 100,000 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.

Any questions?

We've got your answers

Will this work with the Switch 1?

No, if you are looking for a grip for your Switch 1 LCD or OLED you need this grip.

Will this work over my skin or case?

This grip is form-fitting, so it will not work over a skin or case.

if you are using a skin or a case we recommend our adhesive based Universal Grip.

Where is the Basecase design?

Basecase (formally Basegrip+) is our case design for the Nintendo Switch 2 and it is set to release by the end of Summer 2025. Check it out here.

Upgrade so we could use our gaming pillow with Switch 2!

My partner already had the gaming pillow, and the steam deck basegrip, so I just wanted to grab the nintendo ones, they are awesome just like expected! You can't dock your switch while the basegrip is on, but I don't see how they could get around this, I ordered the plane mounts, and as well as a phone mount I haven't gotten to try yet, but everything is well made, it works, and makes gaming more fun. I love to put the switch on our gaming pillow and sit it away from me, and play with my pro controller, and he likes to play with it in his lap and connected, just a reminder all of their products are super versatile and for everyone!

Simple and great

Simple and great. It is so nice to be able to use the same system that I was already using with the Steam Deck, with the Switch 2. The build quality is very good, and it doesn't add a lot of weight or thickness.

Half of the Full Picture

Snaps on easily and doesn't block vents or docking (just as stated). Keep in mind this is just the grip - you need mounts to make it useful (I bought the tray table mount for travel).

Lovely Addition

My favorite part is that it fits in the dock without any adapter or issue - hassle-free, and able to use all of my existing tables and pillow? Yes please!

Excellent Quality Product and Company

This product works well and fits the Switch 2 in a non-intrusive way. The gaming pillow itself is an amazing product. It’s also way more useful than I anticipated. I use it with my Switch 1, Switch 2, and Steamdeck. Mechanism’s customer service is also fantastic. There was a problem with my order and they corrected it within a day.

Works great

Works great, just like the base grip I have for the steamdeck. Fits in the dock no problem! I have joint issues so being able to attach it to my gamer pillow is so much help!

Waited for this to come out and ordered as soon as it did

Waited for this to come out and ordered as soon as it did. Fits great and I can confirm that you can still dock it with the base grip installed.

I have gone through two Switch 2 grips. Both have broken at the bottom part, where it touches the bottom of the Switch. Do you have any recommendations on how to avoid this if I buy a third one?

Mechanism

Sorry you've had two grips break! We actually have a lifetime warranty to cover situations like this, so shoot me over and email or chat before placing a new order!

As for how to prevent it, make sure you are removing your grip from the bottom each time.

Hello
I have the pillow for Steamdeck in my cart but what should I add for it to work with my Switch 2 as well? I use a Satisfye grip on it. Do you have anything that is compatible with my grip?

Mechanism

We don't have anything that is truly compatible with the Satisfy Zengrip. Your best bet will be the adhesive Universal Grip, but I think there isn't technically quite enough room on the back of the Zengrip so it overhangs a bit. If you decide to go gripless, you would just need to add the Basegrip for the Switch 2 to your order though.

OR we are actually releasing our own switch 2 case in the next few weeks if thats something that interest you!

K
Ken

Is there a compatible battery pack that will clip onto this mechanism for my switch 2

Mechanism

There aren't any batteries that natively come with the mount built in, but that is a fun dream! You can make most battery packs work with our system using either the Adhesive Mount, or the Strap Mount to get the "Outie" side of our clip on your battery pack though.

Will this work with a killswitch 2 case?

Mechanism

No we don't have a dedicated grip for the Switch 2 Killswitch case, because it already works perfectly with our Universal Grip!
