    It’s a useful product to play videogames cause I work on the water away from home. Nothing special though not worth the 100 dollars and 50 dollar a year to just play the games on the backbone app go for the razer version it’s like 50 bucks

    Great product with neat features to screenshot or screen capture your best kill. Works with multiple devices across its platform. Only draw back it cant be used with a case, well technically yes but only select cases. Which you usually cant find available, But other than no complaints.

    Its a cool little gadget to get a better play experience for your Xbox games on your phone, but the feel and control buttons could be just a bit better not quite the Xbox remote you are used to

    Honestly this is way better than I thought it would be. By far the best iOS controller I have ever owned and I have two steel series nimbus controllers and have used PS4/5 controllers as well. Super well built and very responsive. One of the best parts is the companion app which makes the iPhone feel like a fully fledged console. Ps5 remote play works like a dream. Highly recommended.

    worth the money- works great with my iphone- easy to setup. now I just plug my phone in and its ready. no connecting or charging it. i just plug my charger into it if I want to charge my phone and the cord is not in the way of play! FYI - to get the amazon music free trial do it on a computer not your phone.

    Amazing. I used to have the Razor Kishi (Gen 1) and this is much better. Fits the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 14 Pro perfectly! Buttons are good and the Backbone app is perfect for iPhone users. Play Geforce Now and Xbox xCloud right in the app!!
