On the other hand, customers are negative about the size, subscription requirement, button design, and occasional lag. Some users find the controller to be on the smaller side, particularly for individuals with larger hands. Additionally, certain features require a subscription, which some customers find inconvenient. The buttons are considered to be small and lack tactile feedback, and a few users have experienced lag or connection issues.

Playstation on the go
This thing is awesome. I’m able to play my PS five on the go anywhere I’m at as long as I have a Wi-Fi or cellular connection. Just gotta leave it in standby mode play this thing all the time the buttons aren’t the best but it’s better than not playing. It’s hard to play first person shooter, but it’s great to play sports games Not saying that you you can’t play first person shooter but it’s just tough maybe better for younger people I was able to get this for $75 on sale in store. Not sure the price now but definitely would buy again tried to link it to my Xbox, but I believe you need a separate version of the control would definitely buy again

Great Gaming Control For Your Phone
I bought this product for my iPhone 15 Pro Max cause I started doing more mobile gaming. I love that I can play my favorite games from Xbox Game Pass, PS5 and the Apple Store all from the convenience of my phone and thanks to the great interface the home menu for the controller it keeps all your games and everything you need in one place. The controller works fantastic, very easy to use and responsive. I highly recommend this product is a must have for every gamer.

Expensive, but a smooth experience.
While there are more console-like controllers out there, and for cheaper, the backbone remained my selection because of its portability and the backbone app. Also, I cannot forget the ease of use, which was a huge factor in me keeping this over something else like the Gamesir.
