I’ve been playing some gyroscope based racing games on my phone and thought it would be cool to have a physical steering wheel to hold.

Since I already have a magsafe ring stuck to the back of my OnePlus Open I designed it to use magnets.

Functionally it makes the games way easier to play since you can really precisely tilt the phone. You can even steer one-handed pretty easily too

The magnets I used are a little weak so I’ll be replacing that with another stronger magnet ring I have

    We are surrounded by marketing lingo, the thing is if someone says magsafe to me I’ll know exactly what they are talking about, but if they just say “it’s held with magnets”, or “it’s held with a ring of magnets” it will take a bit more explanation of how the magnets are oriented, and more words to describe than just saying magsafe. You and I we don’t like apple, but who cares if magsafe becomes a linguistic term for “ring of magnets that holds and charges a smart phone around the battery”.
