Customers admire the One - PlayStation Edition (Lightning) - Mobile Gaming Controller for iPhone for its portability, ease of use, and compatibility with various devices. It is seen as a great gift and is comfortable to use. However, some customers express concerns about the subscription requirement, price, connectivity issues, and occasional lag.
The product itself is great! So I will rate it 5 stars. When it comes to connections and lag, I found that physically removing the hdmi cable from the console SIGNIFICANTLY reduces lag and performance. My experience using the backbone at home is an overall 8/10. I've tested at work with AT&T 5G and the performance was on the poor side. I work at a mall and at the time it was the weekend before Christmas so I dont know if the amount of people in one area was the cause for this. If you're gonna be connected to a good wifi connection when away from home with good download speeds, then I say you're good. Although if you're traveling and plan on using your 5G, I'd think twice before purchasing. I'd also like to note that $100 is pretty steep for a controller in my opinion that doesn't have any vibrations at all. The backbone app is not amazing. I only use it to get to my PS5 remote play app. ----------- If anyone is wondering: my download speeds at home vary throughout the day. I get anywhere between 80-150mbps. Upload speeds are roughly 30-80mbps. I live in a rural area so my options out here aren't great. Mentioning this in case is it all helpful to folks in my situation. If you have speeds greater than mine, I'd say your Remote Play experience will be great!

This product is really exceptional for what it is, i have downloaded iGBA and Delta and PPSSPP, it kinda turns your phone into an emulator wizard. As for the product, its aesthetic and clean, the buttons could be little better but the phone clamp is actually the best part you wont feel that its a third party accessory. My recommendation give it a try then make a decision

Disclaimer - I’m not a professional on any items like this, I’m you’re average dude who had a Best Buy gift card and used it. Product feels nice to use, it’s what you’d expect for the price tag. I liked the PlayStation button layout because that’s what I’m used to. It’s all great until you realize that the library for mobile games that are actually enhanced by this device basically consists of just Cod Mobile and maybe Apex. Then suddenly you don’t feel like it’s worth $100 anymore. The subscription that comes with your purchase, the one that wears off in a month to a service that you’ve already paid $100 for, also takes away a chunk of rating that a shortcutted screen recorder button doesn’t earn back. The subscription should have more to offer, give you more time free, or maybe even be free for it to be worth it money. Still cool for what it is, but I personally wouldn’t recommend anybody else get unless they have money to burn and are fairly set on this product. My Final Verdict - A 7.5/10 (As a PS, the subscription to the app and the app itself gives you free limited access to some other recurring subscriptions like 3 months discord nitro, which is pretty nice).
