Raving ravers are raving about Mechanism

"It's literally been glued to my Ally X since I got it. They are one piece. Worth every penny."

"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!"

"Infinite uses, this is the best mod ever"

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.

Any questions?

We've got your answers

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

Pretty nice

It’s not quite as comfortable as I wanted it to be but it’s a solid product and the flexibility of their grip system is worth it.

Just the right size

I have a lot of different grips for my Switch OLED and they are all good in different ways. The one way they are not great is the fact they make the Switch OLED much bigger. The BaseGrip + is a nice middle ground. It is comfortable but not huge. Plus you now have the option to get accessories that fit the Mechanism ecosystem, like the gaming pillow, make your gaming experience more fun, comfortable, and convenient.

As with all mechanism products, this thing works exactly as advertised. Makes for a much more comfortable grip when playing in handheld mode. And allows for easy attachment to the many mechanism mounts. Goes great with the pillow.

It's alright

It's alright but wish it was engineered a little better to be dockable.
