    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

    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.

    Great for playing games on my phone. The only problem is it has PlayStation buttons where my games have Xbox so it’s confusing on what buttons to press. But it’s still a overall great product

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

    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.

    The Backbone has made all my mobile games that support controller more enjoyable, cant use this on all games but it works on most games. The only reason im giving it a 4 is because the price is a little steep for, but if your a serious mobile gamer it is worth getting!
