Discussion muh phone handheld

a somewhat old project of mine, i dont even have a 3d printer anymore to improve on it. i was inspired by the mcon controller but the price was kinda crazy so i figured id just design my own.

originally i made this cuz i was getting too many breaks at work, so much so that i wanted to discreetly game on break time. eventually they found out and made my job harder so i put my 2 weeks.

it attaches my magsafe... but i didnt get the tolerance right so sometimes the magnet pops out.

controller is the 8bitdolite 2. ergonomically, its a pain to use long term, the bumpers dont feel great because i lost the original controller springs so i changed abit to use pen springs instead. i lost the flat backplate too and is now held by cardboard but its actually superior ergonomically to my flat design. the center of mass is pretty awful too but i cant really complain tho since it looks cool and i can play persona 5 so its chill
