Designer Zak Boardman has showcased a mobile gaming controller concept that is ergonomic and portable. Named the 'SnapJoy' controllers, the device can be attached to any smartphone, turning it into a full-on gaming setup. The design is similar to handheld consoles such as the Switch or Steam Deck. With the popularity of online gaming and the general convenience of the snap-on mobile gaming controller by Zak Boardman, the design is sure to capture the attention of gaming enthusiasts.
The SnapJoy controllers slide onto one's mobile phone through a rail system that has "a tight tolerance for a great fit." The hand-held gaming innovation then connects to the phone via BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and begins working like any regular wireless device.
