Mechanism Unveils Game-Changing Basegrip and Dock for Steam Controller
Mechanism has launched two accessories set to transform how gaming enthusiasts use Valve’s Steam Controller, delivering immediate upgrades for portability and charging convenience. The Basegrip, available starting May 4 at just $9, allows Steam Controller owners to attach their device directly to smartphones and existing mounts, unlocking new mobile gaming possibilities.
This innovative Basegrip securely fits the Steam Controller’s unique shape while preserving access to the magnetic charging port, letting users keep the controller charged during use. Mechanism’s commitment to interoperability shines through with this design, as the Basegrip integrates seamlessly with the company’s full range of mounts. This includes magnetic smartphone mounts that clip directly atop the controller, effectively creating a portable handheld console—ideal for streaming games on the go.
While Valve emphasizes the Steam Controller’s primary support lies with Steam and the Steam Link app, the Basegrip enables users to stream PC games to their mobile devices effortlessly. Compatibility with standalone iOS and Android games remains limited for now, but the prospect of future software updates could broaden the scope, making this accessory a smart bet for mobile gamers and Steam fans nationwide.
Steam Controller Dock Adds Style and Convenience, Ships in June
In tandem, Mechanism is introducing a dedicated Steam Controller Dock, designed for both stylish display and charging. Featuring the same magnetic charging puck found on the controller, this dock keeps the Steam Controller powered and ready while not in use. The dock, expected to ship in June, has already generated strong demand with a waitlist now open for eager customers.
For Steam Controller owners, this combination of the Basegrip and Dock represents a major leap in functionality and user experience. The Basegrip expands how and where the controller can be used, while the Dock offers an elegant solution to storage and power—exactly what dedicated gamers have been waiting for.
The announcement comes as a significant update for Valve’s unique controller, which has maintained a loyal following despite limited software support. Mechanism’s latest moves bring fresh momentum to the Steam Controller community, signaling that innovation and practical enhancements are still very much alive and kicking.
Montana’s gamers and tech enthusiasts, along with users across the United States, now have new tools to extend their gaming experiences beyond the PC, tapping into real-time portability with trusted accessories built to last. With the Basegrip available next week and the Dock shipping soon, fans should act fast to upgrade their setups and prepare for a more flexible gaming future.
Mechanism’s Basegrip launches May 4 for $9 with bundle discounts, and the Steam Controller Dock ships in June—join the waitlist now to secure your place.
