    For a long time since the initial smart phones were getting games on them I was hoping that a controller would initially get designed for them. Fast forward to the here and now. We finally got it! Back bone. Being a long die hard Iphone user I have to say dreams come true. My second dream eventually got answered when Iphone went from lightning to USB C. But back to the review. I remember the days of the PSP, and the PSVITA. Oh, the joys of mobile gaming. But that meant I had multiple devices to carry. Now the best of both. Pop your phone in your back bone. Whether you have lightning or USB C you're good 2 go. You also get your mobile data! Even better. A device made better. Phones able to order pizza, watch youtube, tv, movies, and now play games. We are definitely heading in my childhoods mind of the right direction. Great job. Great design. One couldn't be happier with the purchase!

    I got this one for my son and he’s been enjoying it, yeah it needs a subscription but it’s $40 for the whole year and the benefits are actually worth it.

    This device works flawlessly, there is no lag and the analog thumb sticks are high quality. It’s truly just plug and play.

    Hands down one of my favorite purchases in a long time. Not usually one to game when I’m out running around, but it makes it so compelling. It definitely works best with WiFi but if you have a good signal depending on the games you play it’s not too bad especially if playing games meant for phones. However it does connect to the Xbox and you can stream a lot of different games. It’s a great deal when compared to other handheld gaming option's. Do note that you do have to get a backbone subscription but it’s not a bad price and you still come out better price wise compared to other handheld gaming options. Also I’ve had two the first generation and second generation. The newer one is definitely faster and feels sturdier.

    This product was honestly not bad, it does what it is intended for and it does it well. There will be no latency since it connects via usbc and you also don’t need to worry about charging it, waiting for it to pair, and you can charge your phone while you play and plug in headphones if you need to it’s biggest downfall is that it will cost you $100 and then a back bone subscription to use the app. Only get this if it is on sale at $60 and even that is pushing it…

    I honestly didn’t think this was going to work as well as it does. The direct connection makes it a perfect accessory and it works flawlessly on my PPSSPP emulator for Crisis Core, SSX and MediEvil. Even better when I Airplay to my Apple TV. Totally worth it!

    Daughter enjoys using this on her cell. She says it is not top tier, but it gets the job done. She is able to play Fortnite on her cell and is able to have room on the screen to see and play because of this attachment. She gives it a solid 4.
