    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.

    Great product, but a bit uncomfortable to handle. Awesome to play on the go if you have a good internet speed and remember to leave your console on sleep mode.

    I was skeptical about this controller, especially with the price tag. But I am thoroughly happy with it. It is comfortable to hold—even with my big hands and the button and analog response is very good. Streaming my games is wonderful too with no lag that I have noticed in the button response. I have one critique though, I don’t dig the style of the analog sticks. They remind me of Nintendo Joy Cons and I refuse to use the OEM Joy Cons for my Switch. I’m stuck with them on this controller. If Backbone came out with a controller with analog sticks like the Hori Split Pad Pro has, this controller would be perfect. I do like the app too and don’t mind the subscription fee. That’s my subjective opinion though. Take it or leave it.

    The backbone works perfectly with my Iphone 14 pro max. Solid build with good analog and button positions. A little small so not great for folks with larger hands bit thats the only negative thing i can say

    Always test the controller before leaving the store there was nothing wrong with this controller specifically but I bought a cheaper one and tested it in the car and it didn’t work so I came back in and he put that as store credit and I just had to pay the difference for this controller but I’m glad bcus I like this controller I just wish it was Bluetooth because my phone gets hot!! Very hot. You don’t have to set anything up once you connect it it’s good.

    I bought this for my son for Christmas. He loves the ease of placing his phone into the Backbone. It's very lightweight and he can use the system on the go without internet service. Great product. Much better than the PS Portal

    You need a membership to use all features. However, it’s good when away from your gaming devices and you want to play.
