Will the metal impact my wireless signal?Updated 17 days ago

No — this is a common myth, often pushed by cheap plastic competitors as a selling point. In reality, our powder-coated steel mounts do not block or interfere with wireless signals such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or IR in normal use.

Here’s why:

  • Open, thoughtful design — Every HIDEit mount is engineered with an open frame that leaves antennas and signal paths unobstructed.

  • Proven performance — We’ve tested our mounts with consoles, cable boxes, and streaming devices; signal strength and speed remain unchanged compared to sitting on a shelf.

  • Trusted worldwide — Over a million HIDEit setups in homes, offices, hospitals, and schools work flawlessly with wireless controllers, streaming devices, and smart home systems.

Why steel is better than plastic:

  • Strength & security — Steel provides superior durability and support for heavier devices, ensuring they stay secure for years.

  • Precision fit — Steel designs hold their shape; plastic mounts can warp, loosen, or crack, especially in warmer environments.

  • Better heat dissipation — Steel doesn’t trap heat like plastic can, helping devices maintain optimal operating temperatures.

Bottom line: Steel gives you strength, longevity, and safety — without sacrificing wireless performance.
