    Nice device to play backbone PS5 on the go while using the Iphone 14Pro, the only issue is that the back cameras hit the strap on the back of the device so sometimes this cames out.

    Exciting Concept, If you have the proper internet

    The Backbone One Playstation Edition is an excellent concept for high tech gaming on the go, but theres a catch. If you don't have the proper internet to stream from Remote Play or any other gaming services, your mobile gaming stream is severely hindered. I bought the Backbone because I travel a lot for work and saw countless adds, so I bought it. Tried a lot of tweaks to make it work and was wondering why I was lagging in my own home. My internet speed wasn't up to par in order to stream it from my console to my phone. I'm giving this a 3/5 because I believe that with faster internet the Backbone will actually work and be a useful tool.

    This is an ok device. I think based on the price it would be better to just go with the Playstation Portal, it's a better experience overall for a little bit more money.

    I like the controller itself. However, the connection with remote play can be horrible at times. I wish PlayStation would make this experience better so I can get the most out of the backbone.

    The Experience With The Playstation Backbone One Is Superior. PS Remote Play Doesn't Display Full Screen While Playing On iPhone, But Apple Arcade And Other Mobile Games Do, I Never Thought About Expanding Or Pinch To Zoom On Remote Play But As A PS5 Owner I Consider It Apart Of The EcoSystem!

    I bought this for my 12 yr old son’s birthday. The concept is awesome but not the easiest to setup or to navigate. However I have played Fortnite on it with my kids help and I like playing on the backbone

    I think it’s worth a purchase if you are a mobile gamer. My only complaint is that I don’t believe there is a way to re map buttons without a computer. I’m not a fan of there not being a touch pad button on the controller itself.

    I bought the backbone because it was on sale. Honestly I didnt think I would use it as mich as i do now. It supports alot of games and it makes them that much more fun.

    You have to have high speed internet for it to work great. I found it harder to play some games. Don’t think its worth $100.

    This isn’t worth it. You may think it’s cool to have ps5/steam/Xbox on the go but the connection was so bad I couldn’t play anything anyways. Also, you do have to pay to use this feature. On top of that, it seems as though all new iPhone models will have a UBC port. Due to that, and little value for the price, I returned it after a week. Any other Bluetooth version of a mobile controller works just as well. I have a cheap $10 one and it performs just fine.

    Do not use the backbone app. Just download the PS remote app and play from there. The controller is good. I thought it would be a problem with the joysticks being in different positions, but it is not.

    This thing is amazing. Alot of my coworkers use the Keshi and its cool but once i brought this in it changed game. Some even opted into the keshi 2 and ended up return. Works great, even with long play layout is great. I only wish i disnt have to strip my entire phone to use.
