    This is compatible with most phones and I have no complaints whatsoever. It’s great fun to use with remote play and the quality of the controller is good.

    However I think it is overpriced. Especially when you consider you can buy a playstation 5 dual sense controller for around 60. Which contains a battery and excellent haptic feedback and vibration as well as adaptive triggers. The backbone runs off your phone battery and doesn’t have any haptic or vibration so I can’t help but feel it is not value for money at full price.

    This is expensive but very good if you are looking to play on the go. The only major downside is that it doesn’t have a ps home button so you still need to double tap the screen which also brings up the rest of the on-green controller. Backbone also have a paid subscription which they dont tell you about so beware of that! I think it’s 100 for the year. Apart from all that it’s a good bit of kit.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI had a cheap snap on controller first to see if I used it it was good for gaming on the go, but this controller is a different level fits my iPhone snugly feels well built very responsive and works great lag free, I take it away everywhere with me as I work away from home, not activated my cloud gaming as yet, I am into cod mobile and this works great, mine craft with the kids also works great, if you are into gaming but away from your console I would recommend this 5 stars

    Great for remote play but layout is more like switch then a PlayStation controller.

    Best way to play on your Xbox from anywhere or cloud gaming from Xbox worth the price

    Got this as a Christmas present for my husband and he absolutely loves it! Can take it anywhere and play available mobile PlayStation games on his phone

    As a PC gamer, this offers a great alternative to play all my steam & Xbox games away from my desk. Now I can explore Hogwarts in the comfort of my own bed!

    HIGHLY recommend Backbone!

    My kids don’t have the ability to game with a gaming system or a computer so this was a great alternative that they love.

    Great device me and my Son both have one of the PS version and my wife has the XBox. Connected great with our systems and phones. Easy assembly for the iPhone 13 Max Attachment as well.

    I bought this for my husband and son to each have one and play together. They think it’s really cool but if you want to play PlayStation games your PlayStation has to be turned on which is slightly inconvenient. Otherwise super cool!

    I have a lot of downtime at work and I HATE virtual controls on my phone! This literally feels like a larger PS5 controller is in my hand. It’s super responsive and comfortable to hold in the hands, I just wish the triggers had a little more resistance, but does not ruin my experience.

    The Backbone is truly the best mobile gaming device I’ve experienced. No difficult controls or lags, and very user friendly for those without a ton of gaming experience. I love playing games on Backbone, especially when I’m on the go thanks to its compact design. Can’t recommend enough!

    Works flawlessly for remote play on my Series X. The only gripe I have involves being forced to remove my phone case to utilize. I have the thinnest case I could find but still have to remove.

    Makes mobile games more desirable to play ( that have controller support )
    I am very happy with my backbone and all of my co-workers ask me about it

    My only complaint is that it doesn’t accommodate cases , but still , I switch to tempered glass for the back and front and now fits perfectly, I even like it better this way
    Couldn’t recommend this product enough !!

    I bought this for my son. He loves it! He leaves it attached to his phone.

    Even the unboxing gave me the impression I didn’t waste money. The device fits will with my hands, larger size person. And little to no input delay, granted I haven’t played anything like APEX or COD yet.
    The only thing is that I’m so used to my phone being in its case all day every day, that walking around the house with it unprotected is a little weird, but it’s snug into the controller and is actually really secure on the 8-pin that I needed to put some oomph to release my phone.
    100% worth it, day 1

    No pens que fuera una buena compra pero la verdad termino siendo lo mejor, en el trabajo ya todos jugamos a la hora de comida y con mis primos cuando hacemos reuniones familiares. Lo nico malo es que necesito quitarle el case a mi iPhone para que funcione.

    In response to the customer saying it barely fits the 14 pro max and needs an adapter. Well, the adapter comes with it! It’s the little box on the top inside cover of the box. However, It still fits well without it, it’s very flexible and stretches, and my nephews love it. You can subscribe to the backbone app and get the free trial going and then cancel by going to subscriptions in your iPhone settings, cancel it and still get the free trial. You can do this for all subs except the apple arcade store. It’s like having a PSP, and I guarantee you with be surprised. I hope this helps.
