    Nice to look at, easy to set up, and doesn't drain your battery too bad. Works with a wide variety of games as well.

    Turns your iPhone into a portable PlayStation. Love being able to play anywhere on the go. Wish there wasn’t a yearly charge tho.

    Didn’t want to review this until I had a few months to see if I’m into it. I AM!! I can’t say enough great things about this thing!! I got my steam, Xbox, and ps5 games…ALL ABLE TO PLAY on my iPhone!!!! Been playing Diablo 4 while taking care of my wife while she recovers from surgery!! I’ve been playing it when I’m out and bored, in a diff room than my ps5 (like when I have to pretend I’m into a movie on the lifetime channel!)

    I bought this to play on the couch while my console stays in my room. It does that great but I find myself missing the adaptive triggers and the subtle controller vibrations. Harder to get immersed as the screen is small but still great for games like Call Of Duty and Fortnite. Thumbsticks are basically the same as on the switch for scale. Although its got problems, the clicky buttons and the straightforward setup makes it easy to come back to.

    Got this on sale for $70 but would even buy for retail $100 after having it. Allows me to remote play games on ps5 and other platforms. Been avoiding playing games in Apple store but now playing one game that i used with the free apple game subscription. Comfortable in hand but hand still gets tired after a while. Only complaint is have to remove phone case when i want to use it

    So far it’s been great. Good quality, very minimal (almost none) input lag, great for cloud/remote gaming.

    Great buy, my brother in law really likes it. The toggles are smooth, it fits good in your hands, you can charge your phone while using it with an iphone charger. Great for playing on the go definitely recommend. You get a year of xbox one but you need to add a card so they can charge you after that year. Still not an issue because there are a lot of free games

    Well built controller. Love the UI and how streamlined it makes gaming on the go. Only real drawback is a subscription fee but even that is worth it in my opinion. I tried the Razer Kishi prior to this and the back one is easily an upgrade. It simply offers an experience that isn’t matched by Razer yet. I also had compatibility issues with the kishi with playing COD mobile, not with the backbone though! Would definitely buy again.

    Best one yet… needs to adapt to different cases.

    This thing works well and feels high quality. The button clicks and just general feel of the thing is identical to Sony/Microsoft quality. The downside is that only the very slimmest cases (I’m using iPhone 13 pro max) fit… and not well. I have to really force it in. Solution was to use a knife and pry off the little rubber piece near the lightning plug. It just pops right off and you can scratch the glue off. Works perfectly with a slim phone case now.

    I spent a great amount of time debating if getting this is worth it. (3 weeks and a bunch of random youtube video later..) It's worth it to me. I have 2 kids and sometimes it's impossible to lounge in front of the TV.. So yeah, I play this anywhere and everywhere (mostly on the treadmill, being in any room with the fam and dogs.. etc) So if youre on the fence.. get it. Trust me.

    This is one of the best buys that I have ever made. Not only is it convenient for the Apple Arcade games which nearly all are compatible. As long as my PS5 is hooked up to the Wi-Fi, no matter where i am if i have an internet connection I can access it remotely with my backbone. Absolutely Fantastic. Smooth and streamlined, it just doesn’t get much better.

    This really made my mobile gaming experience so much better. I look forward to finding a place with WiFi and free time so can just jump on the backbone and play some of my ps5 games while on the go. This thing is awesome. It fits well with my iPhone 13pro max.
