    This device did not work for me, but not because it was a bad device. The controller is actually quite nice and packs a lot of bang for the price. You need a strong network and probably a relatively new smartphone to make it truly work. I had neither when I used this and it did not work too well for me.

    My kids love it! Only issue was we bought two and one gave us. A hard time to sing in and connect. We had to go around it and not sign in in order for her to use it. They love being able to turn their simple phone into a gaming console!

    The quick plug n play of the backbone is what really kept me using this product. Nice snap onto the phone and boom im playing the Delta Emulator/Minecraft/Call of Duty with no issues and can even map the buttons if I do not like the traditional layout which is a plus! I would def recommend picking up the carrying case to pair to carry the backbone with no issues/fear of breaking the unit. Would buy again!

    An easy, seamless, and affordable way to turn any phone into a switch like form factor device for comfortable play on any mobile game with the added benefit of no longer needing to use clunky on screen controls.

    Very recommended if you like remote play and you can play some mobile games. Tje best thing is that you can charge your phone thru your backbone and use wited earphones.
