    I didn't expect that it will not work on my old iphone 7+. As it stated in the manual that it can run on any ios 15+ devices. But it works on my iphone 14 pro, so no complains

    I bought this for my husband since he works on the road, but I ended up using it allot as well. And I am going to buy myself one too lol . If you love to play games and want to keep yourself occupied while you are on the road or just out in general I would highly recommend you get this.

    Closests thing to a PSP. Wouldnt play super competitive, precision required games, but its good. Also, this feels much better than the joycons from the nintendo switch….Honestly, this replaced my nintendo switch. So great.

    Cool piece to have if you travel a lot. You do have to get a subscription with it. Takes over the ps5 when utilized, so be prepared that someone else can’t use the PlayStation while you use this but they can watch you play

    The portability of the backbone is great. I can use it when I’m away from home. I don’t have to lay my phone on someone to hold it anymore. I Can just play like if it were a PSP or Switch.

    I’m satisfied with this product but the thing I’m not used to yet is the D pad and Left analog switched around. It would have made it perfect if it followed the standard ps5 controller setup. The buttons are fine, it’s decently made but sometimes i get a little clicking or movement on the device when i press something. I purchased this thinking i got the second gen, which was advertised as the newest one. But i got the first gen. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and have to take it out of the case to use it. The newest version you don’t have to take the case off. But overall I’m satisfied.

    This is the best controller for mobile phones. I have one for Android and now I am getting this one for her iPhone, we love to play with this. It is just like a game console controller.

    Turn any waiting time into gaming time. This fits both my iphone and my S23 Ultra. Controller grip takes a little getting used to but overall it is a great piece of hardware!

    It works just as expected. The buttons feel nice and it feels like a quality device. Great for apple arcade games, as well as remote play if you have good internet.

    Bought this as a gift for my husband since he travels a lot and doesn’t like to carry the whole console. He loves it and so far it hasn’t had much lag. Way more convenient and space saving when traveling.
