    It works amazingly with the iPhone. I have larger hands but the controller is still comfortable in my hands.

    I purchased this and wound up returning it after I found out that I would have to pay a yearly subscription ti be able to connect it to my iPad. If you’re going to use it with your iPhone is an amazing controller. I planned on using it on my iPhone and my iPad but to connect to the iPad a subscription is needed. You get a free year with the purchase of the controller but then after that you’re on the hook for $50 a year just to be able to play games on your iPad using his controller.

    The Backbone is an amazing accessory for your PS5. The controller feels very familiar (complete with adaptive trigger plus). Just wish it would fit with my case on

    I don’t think this product is as convenient as i thought it was going to be it just runs on wifi and you need to be close your actual ps5 in order for it to work other than that though i mean the controllers are fine and the buttons are nice but i wouldn’t recommend spending your money on this product.

    The backbone is great! It's very responsive and the controls are different, but they work well! I love that I can now play my PS5 like a portable system!

    I upgraded to this from a Razer Kishi V1, and the results are a more comfortable hand fit, a sleeker look, consistent with the PS5, and smoother feeling buttons. Setup is incredibly easy and it lets me play my PS5 even when I don’t have the liberty of going to the device. It’s great, and if you enjoy your PS5, but feel like playing is too much if a time sink, this thing is a tremendous boon.

    Works exactly as intended and makes remote play feel like playing on a nintendo switch. The backbone isn’t as convenient as it should be, you will most likely need to remove your phone case to use it. If you have an iphone 13 and use a camera protector, it will not fit properly, even when using the adapter. Functionally this device works well, but it is a bit awkward and imperfect when it comes to using for a larger phone.

    Nothing better then laying in bed playing your ps5 games. Or even steam. If you want to relax this is a cheap handheld streaming gadget.

    My wife and I purchased this item for my son as a Xmas gift. The setup of the backbone was a bit difficult since the backbone application was crashing.
