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

    My point was, and remains, that if you’re gonna comment on this dude’s cool thing he made, maybe try not to be a pedantic asshat when the aforementioned dude who created the cool thing essentially calls it Loctite instead of thread locker.

      You may think it’s pedantic but it’s not. Words matter. Especially when those words are made-up marketing bullshit for words we already have.

        When someone asks you for a Kleenex you correct them or do you just hand them a tissue?

        When someone asks if you have Q-Tips do you correct them?

              This seems like a perfectly legitimate and honest question. /s

                  What makes you think I don’t know CAD already?

                  I am contributing. I realize you disagree and are offended but thats reality.

                    The lack of any original designs in your post history says otherwise
