We didn't design this so you could watch tv, video call your friend and play video games at the same time, but we're not telling you not to, ya filthy animal. 

Oh, you can also add a second playable screen for DS emulation.

The GoPro Compatible screws mean you now have a Mechanism to GoPro connection, and the ¼-20 threaded insert means you can attach your system to any camera accessories.

Why? Because WE ARE GAMERS.

Console and Controller Ready

Clip the Phone Mount onto any device, controller grip, or even the new Gaming Pillow.

We don't question your orientation

The Phone Mount is designed to be mounted above or below your device, heck you can even mount it in portrait!

Mechanism

How it works

The Phone Mount is made up of 5 parts, a Mechanism spring loaded mount, an extension arm with a ¼-20 threaded insert, and a Magsafe mount, each connected by a GoPro screw. 

Unfasten the GoPro screw and flip the MagSafe mount to support both portrait and landscape modes above and below your handheld system. 

Securely latch the mount with the new mechanical lock and support the weight of any phone. Watch an install video below ↓

Locks in place

The Phone Mount features a new locking mechanism to keep your phone extra secure.

Magsafe adapter

Mount any phone using the included Magsafe adapter.

Ultimate modularity

Reconfigure as a GoPro mount, a tripod mount, or even a shortened Phone Mount for the Gaming Pillow.

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

How do I configure the 'shortie' Phone Mount for the Gaming Pillow?

Unscrew both the Magsafe puck and spring mechanism at either end of the curved arm. Set aside the arm and connect the spring mechanism and the Magsafe puck directly together using the GoPro connectors. Screw in to place and enjoy!

I love it

I love it. Fantastic design. Personally own a 3D printer so I love that I can print simple attachments for different gadgets myself and order the more complex bits from mechanism. Now I want this on the back of everything.

Phone Mount is fantastic, great affordable solution

This phone mount is pretty great. The actual magnet side is 98% flat, but not entirely, doesn't cause any issues.

I bought this with a Universal Mount to use with my Gulikit KKM3 controller. I thought for sure it'd fit perfectly, but because of the analog/digital switches foe the triggers, i had to modify my controller to allow for the size of the mount.

Future reference, ask for the dimensions for custom setups!

Perfect for a dual screen experience

I bought it because I wanted to try out this Steam Deck DS project that's becoming popular right now on the console subreddit, and everyone is using this mount for their second screen. I couldn't be happier with the result, a very study and reliable mount.

Although the mount isn't designed for this, it holds the weight of the 7-inch monitor very well. The included Magsafe ring was attached to the screen and is very securely attached to the mount's magnet. The screen won't fall off even if you shake it. In fact, it's hard to remove, so make sure you position the monitor correctly. It is a heavy setup tho.

It would be incredible if they made a mount more specific for this use case (a "clamshell mount", perhaps?), one that could also rotate horizontally to better frame the screen. I had to remove the ring a couple of times to position it better before I was happy with the result, but I understand that it's a very niche productl, not all measurements are suitable , and there is no standard to guide you. It's also a difficult setup to leave resting on a table, as the mount itself protrudes and the screw on the bottom can make it more unstable.

Shipped to EU and received in just one week, no additional costs or customs fees. I will definitely buy again, thank you!

I love the DualSense grip + MagSafe arm mount

The arm mount with DualSense grip has been a game changer. Flipping the arm to go under the controller is my preference since it balances the setup and allows the controller to function as a stand when I’m setting it down.

Great but major flaw

UPDATE: Spoke with support and they sent me out a warranty replacement. They said the product was revised so I’ll kick the tires and hope it doesn’t happen again but service was top notch and appreciate that this small team was able to address my issue in a prompt manner.

The major flaw is the plastic on the screw knob. It became bitter after a few months and keeping tension became impossible, when I inspected it there were cracks all over the plastic surrounding the threaded screw. I've reached out to customer service via chat seeking a replacement screw but haven't heard back as of yet. Might explore a 3D print solution but would prefer not to jury rig this and don't want to spend another $25 for a simple screw that failed.

Perfect and flexible

This can be used in so many ways. I’m not using it to its full potential at the moment. I love the whole concept and how one piece of equipment can do so much. The shipping wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be either.

Wow!

I use it with my Xbox controller.
A bit expensive (from Italy), but I don't regret the purchase at all.
I was using the 8BitDo clip, but this is way better.

Ally Mate More Like Ally 3DS Mate

I had an idea months ago to create a way to attach two screens to my Ally for 3DS Emulation. Oddly enough this was brought to my attention after I posted a video on TikTok about attaching your Android to your Windows based handheld via SpaceDesk as a monitor. With the Ally Mate this makes the most epic duo, I even tested the universal attachment on my AyaNeo Next Lite and the adhesive is extremely strong. Awesome kit, it should be marketed more!

Phone mount is extremely secure.

I've been dying for a phone mount since I got my deckmate last year. I commute on a train daily and wanted to watch shows while gaming. I appreciate the locking mechanism included on the train mount to ensure nothing moves during the bumpy ride. The photo shows the clip with lock. I'll be using this multiple times a week!

Great Accessory! Makes me want kickstand revision

The phone mount is a testament to how far deckmate has come. It’s solid, constructed very well, and has features I didn’t even think about.

The locking mechanism that holds it fast to the deckmate 1.5/allymate is great!

I wish the kickstand had the lock

Perfect

This has been an item I've eagerly been awaiting that fills a perfect need for users of mechanism. Whether you want to stream video and multitask while gaming, or want a convenient tutorial or game guide handy this is the perfect accessory.

Exceeded all expectations!

When this was announced on Reddit I followed the development closely as this was something I needed in my life. Tried making my own jank version of this but it did not work. Once this finally got into my hands I was blown away by the quality of this thing! So solid and easy to use. Very very well built with no bending and it’s adjustable as well. 10/10 part that works with the amazing deckmate.

Can be disassembled!

I got this to have a secondary stand on the pillow for a phone attachment or something else. The bar is too long and gets in the way of having a switch or anything else docked. But I was able to unscrew the pieces from each other and attach the magnetic piece directly onto the mount "outie." This keeps the phone or any battery backup down much lower and worked good for adjusting angle as well.

Works pretty well

It's a phone mount, the magsafe stuff works, the handle is pretty strong and sturdy enough for a phone, it can even be taken apart and put back together, which is really nice

Worth the price and does what it needs to.

Holds phone perfectly however using it with a switch2 or steam deck it seems a little flimsy but doesn't feel like it will break, for price it works well and does what I need

So much versatility that I keep finding

I've been extremely impressed with this phone mount from Mechanism. The build quality is stellar and everything feels solid, well-engineered, and built to last. I originally bought it to use with my Steam Deck, but it's proven to be far more versatile than I expected. After picking up the new Steam Controller, I started using it regularly with Steam Link, and the mount has adapted perfectly to that setup as well. One of my favorite features is the included magnet, which let me mount my phone above my laptop screen during practicum sessions for my mental health counseling classes. That made it much easier to keep video calls and reference materials in a comfortable position without cluttering my workspace. Overall, it's a thoughtfully designed product with excellent craftsmanship and amazing versatility. It's one of those accessories that keeps finding new uses long after the original reason you bought it.
