Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you want the best mobile gaming controller for iPhone with low latency, console-style controls, and real PlayStation feel, the Backbone One PlayStation Edition is still one of the top choices available for Lightning iPhones.

Perfect gift, compact and the ability to connect with phone is amazing. Makes the difference in how the games are played with the attachment.

Work good . I love it. It’s more easy to play with this than a regular play

This has been a great purchase. I use it mainly to play Modern Warfare Mobile. It makes play so much easier.

Love this product, use it on the road a lot and kids love it.

The **Backbone One – PlayStation Edition (Lightning)** is hands-down one of the best mobile gaming controllers for iPhone. Setup is instant—just plug it in and start playing. The controller feels solid and comfortable, with responsive buttons and analog sticks that genuinely feel console-quality. The PlayStation-style design is a big win if you’re used to DualSense controllers, and it works beautifully with PS Remote Play, App Store games, and cloud gaming services like Xbox Game Pass and GeForce NOW. Latency is basically nonexistent since it’s wired, which makes a huge difference for fast-paced games. I also love the Backbone app—it neatly organizes your games and even lets you capture clips and screenshots easily. The controller is lightweight and portable, making it perfect for gaming on the go without feeling flimsy. **Cons:** * Lightning-only (not ideal if you’re planning to upgrade to USB-C iPhones) * Price is a bit premium, but the quality justifies it Overall: If you game on iPhone and want a console-like experience, this controller is absolutely worth it.

Wow, this is great. It’s like taking PlayStation on the go just pop your phone and you’re ready to go the only floor is that the way the phone fits in the next new iPhone you get it will be unusable because the plugs are different but other than that, it’s great if you wanna keep your phone.

I liked, when I’m traveling i use in hotel, soo good for play.

This may be my teenagers favorite gift. Works great with his iPhone 13. We were even able to get it to fit in the device with his case still on by following the included instructions. Super easy to set up.

Good product for the price, just make sure you don’t have any charging port issues or it might disconnect randomly. That was my issue so I returned it, would’ve given it a 5 star but I think the build quality could be a little better

This is a great way to play classic games on the phone. Easy to setup and very customizable. Brings the classic controls of a game system to a more mobile era of gaming. 10/10 would buy every time.

I actually couldn’t use it because I have an iPhone 13 Pro and it didn’t come with the base support. Great if your phone is compatible but no so much if it isn’t.

I would have rated this product 5 stars if not for the issue with game compatibility. Initially, it felt like I had a fancy bone-shaped paperweight, as my dog might have used it before I could. The game I was trying to play was Wuthering Waves. Although controller compatibility is now functional, I was disappointed by the wait, which lasted approximately 6 months. More collaboration with game developers should have been conducted to ensure compatibility before making any definitive claims in marketing materials.

Set up was easy and works with emulators as well. Wish it came in black with PS branding however.

portable, fun, easy to use, works good, price is good

A little clunky to set up and must connect to your console at home. After you figure it out, it works great.

My son loves it. He got it for Christmas and he hasn’t put it down. It looks cheap but also it is cheap. Decent price and good item. Easy to use lightweight

Works Great, I’ve been playing nonstop! Realized I can attach my Xbox account to it, that way I can play on the go from my console. Best purchase I’ve made in a while.

My son love it I just wish they would design these things to work with protective case for kids. He has to take his case off his phone to play

Works great!! Wish I would’ve bought one a lot sooner
