Backbone - Pro XBOX Edition - (USB-C) - Mobile and Wireless Controller for Cloud Gaming, Remote Play, and Mobile Games - Green

This remote is beautiful! I love the color, classic throwback to old consoles. I love its transparency, seeing the internals is so cool. It feels really high end. I love the quality of the controls & buttons. Compared to my PlayStation edition regular Backbone, it feel so much more high quality & solid. The og already feels great but this takes it up like 10 notches. The ergonomics are unreal, just love the way it feels in my hands; it makes mobile gaming & overall much better experience; definitely a more pro feel lol. The buttons & sticks feel much more like a solid high quality remote. The extra buttons that can be mapped/programmed on the back are great editions. For example when playing Halo Infinite on gamepass I can map 1 of the buttons to act as “up” on the d-pad & can quickly call out enemies in sight with a quick tap on the back during intense gameplay instead of having to reach all the way down to the d-pad & lose focus/upperhand. It really does enhance gameplay & gives an advantage; those split seconds can mean everything during gameplay. The fact that this version has Bluetooth is awesome too, the original does not have Bluetooth. It can also make for a great extra remote on any other console or pc, or if you prefer to prop your phone up instead of holding it as a handheld. It can even be used as a wired remote via usb c, just like the original. There’s pretty much no lag whatsoever as well. That’s incredible. Love the headphone jack & passthrough usb c port for charging the remote & phone. I love that this & the updated original controller can be used with having a phone case on & has attachments for use without a case if you prefer. The Backbone app itself is a huge selling point, it’s a huge pro but also a huge con. The Backbone app makes gaming on your phone feel seamless, it turns your phone into a whole console itself which is so so cool. It’s so fluid & gives you the “Xbox full screen experience”. It even works with your phone vibration to give haptic feedback while navigating the app. I just wish it could also use the vibrations as a rumble feature for gameplay. That would elevate it so much, although it may drain the battery faster. The biggest downside of the Backbone app is that you have to pay a $40 subscription for 1 year to use all the cool features & to have that seamless console like experience. It’s kind of bizarre & crazy that they make us pay for the subscription ON TOP of buying the controllers themselves. Which are already expensive. The biggest selling point of the controllers aren’t even standard; it’s wild actually almost unfair. It’s really greedy, I could see maybe $20 a year or even $15, but $40 A YEAR is insane. Not cool. & what sucks is that once you try it & buy it, you’re going to want to keep buying it cause it’s so great & the biggest selling point/feature/perk of even having a backbone in the first place. THAT needs to be addressed & looked into because genuinely it’s crazy work by Backbone to make us pay that high of a subscription, for something we don’t even permanently own aside from the controllers themselves. Aside from that, it’s such a great controller, just with a high price tag & very high subscription needed to match. Again, I LOVE the way this controller feels all around. Freaking awesome & looks even better. I wonder what other controllers feel like, for example a controller by Razr or Gamesir. I saw Gamesir has an Xbox edition remote like this for about $50. The quality of THIS one is probably unmatched, but I still wonder what the others are like. Again, the Backbone app IS great, just sucks that we have to pay for it

Perfect if you’re traveling or want to enjoy a more casual gaming experience. The wider grip is worth the investment over the base back bone . Headphone jack is a nice touch but I often used blue tooth headphones. The blue tooth features is nice when cloud streaming on a laptop. The heritage translucent Xbox green is awesome to admire! If you’re wanting a cloud streaming set up, this is a great choice. The games I frequented were fallout 76 and had no issues with controller and game sync even when using voice chat and congested online lobbies. Played other non Xbox games from Apple Arcade and it worded just as well.the back bone button is a bit tedious when pressed on accident. I did not receive the Xbox promotional month of game pass, which was not issues as I pay for it now but it was something not included in the packaging or emailed.

Honestly the best feeling/working gamepad ive ever used, exceleny features, software, and support, could not suggest it more!

Love playing fornite on my galaxy fold 7 using this backbone!
