Best handheld product for gaming!
Really amazing product! I’ve been using it for gaming took it recently on a trip this past week, and it literally does the job better then any other handheld gaming device, from switching your phone into a literal gaming device and it also even sets it up with the BackBone app, lets you play amazing titles such as Fortnite, Minecraft, Call Of Duty Mobile and so so much more! Even DS games if you know what I mean hehe. Highly recommend this device for anyone who’s looking into a handheld and wants to play great titles anywhere you go! By the way, it feels really premium and outstanding from the triggers to the buttons and movement on the joysticks.
