    Backbone was ok as a controller, but not great. Trigger buttons were mushy. Ergonomics felt like Joycons and not as comfortable as a Razer Kishi. Just ok. Some will love this and it really isn’t a bad controller, just not for me. The subscription service is ridiculous as well. Controller functions like play anywhere should not be behind a pay wall. The app was meh.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
