QUESTIONS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE, AND IF YOU DON'T, WE INVITE YOU TO KEEP SCROLLING.

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
  • 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.

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.

Awesome accessory

I've been using the gaming pillow a lot since I've gotten it. I never have to strain my wrists or adjust my grip to feel comfortable.

Didn't last very long, couldn't support Steam Deck

I thought this was great and was really looking forward to using it more.
Unfortunately it was clear right away that the arm couldn't hold up the weight of the Steam Deck on it's own. It droops down and rests against the pillow unless you're holding it up. Sometimes you can kind of get it to stay there, but it's precarious.

The bigger problem is that it broke, likely due to the weight of the Deck. The threading that screws on to hold it up snapped off in two places, making this unusable.

I was already a little bit disappointed that the weight was such an issue so that I could not use it quite as advertised, but this was really disappointing and renders it unusable.

Hey Nick, just a heads up that a few people from Batch 1 pillows have experienced these same issues, and I am working to get them resolved. I will have a fix available to all customers who purchased from batch 1 in the next couple of weeks, and will be shooting out an email to everyone who purchased them to send the fix out for free.

There are three issues that are getting resolved entirely by the time Batch 2 orders ship out:
1) Arm is not strong enough to hold the weight.
2) Ball socket screw needs to be too tight to not slip from the weight of the Deck.
3) The ball socket has a weak point that causes it to fracture like your picture.

All three of these issues will be fixed, and the fix will be ready in a couple weeks. Once I have it on hand, I will be shipping them out free of charge to all customers.

Not everyone experienced these issues, but it seems you were one of the few that experienced one (or all) of them. Don't worry, we'll make this right!

Lastly, this would very clearly fall under the lifetime warranty. If you prefer to go that route, contact me through email and we'll get it sorted.

Thanks,
Siri

Good Customer Service

When I originally received my Gaming Pillow I encountered a few issues that were not major, but concerning nonetheless. However after reaching out to their customer service I was met with a quick and efficient response detailing multiple resolution options. I'm very eager to try out the Gaming Pillow after I've resolved my initial issues thanks for the support from the Mechanism team.

Best Steam Deck accessory I've bought yet.

Love this thing. It has extended my play sessions with my SD as it gives me a lot less muscle fatigue holding the little chonker up. Also helps me hit the shoulder and back buttons better as I'm not supporting the full weight anymore and I can reach them more easily with my little man hands.
