Great product works way better than i imagined. But it doesnt allow you to keep a case on your phone or a protector on your camera with or without the provided adapter. It can still be used but doesnt fit as snug into the device

I bought this so I can play my steam and ps5 games anywhere. It is so portable that I'm planning to cancel my steam deck reservation and just stick with these. I used ethernet port for both my PC and PS5 so I won't have problem connecting when I'm away from home.

Made gaming on the go quick and easy literally made me feel like I was home

Amazing device! Anytime I want to game, I just whip this baby out start playing. It’s ease of use is unreal and the controls and buttons feel like any premium control. 100% recommend to anyone that loves to game on the go.

My son loves this thing! You still have to be close to your PlayStation to use it but he can play it around the house. Received it yesterday for Christmas

Bought it as an alternative to the PlayStation Portal! You just need to install remote play app for PlayStation on your phone! Connects with ease!

This controller is anazing. Plug it in abd start playing. But like the title says, remote play abd cloud gaming isnt ready to replace consoles yet. Its a fantastic extension for Xbox or PS to free up the TV, but it wont replace it completely.

My son loves his Backbone! It allows him to remotely play his PS5 on his cell phone when we go anyplace. I was impressed at how seamlessly the device mirrored his PS5 on his phone. The only downside with this purchase is that it will essentially be obsolete whenever we get him a new iPhone since the new phones come with a USB-C connection instead of a Lightning connection. I guess that when that time comes I'll either have to find a USB-C to Lightning adapter that is compatible with the Backbone or simply purchase a new Backbone that works with USB-C.

Great handheld for on the go casual gaming, or offline gaming. I get quite noticeable lag when I try to play online, definitely do not want to play Call of Duty with it.

Best game controller for your phone! Better than using an actual game controller with having to use the Bluetooth. Just plug and play with this!!

This is actually quite enjoyable depending on the quality of your connection. I would still be careful of games that require tight timing. There can still be some noticeable lag.

It might be deemed "official" by Sony, but unless Backbone sends out an update to reflect the buttons, you're gonna struggle remembering A is X, B is O, etc etc. Genshin Impact in particular shows ABXY as if an Xbox controller were connected. Least you can remap the buttons, both in-game and in the Backbone app, where you can also receive firmware updates for the controller. And to those with a 13 or 14 Pro Max yes. There is an adapter so that it can fit your phone as well. Nice call on their part. And if it doesn't happen to come with one, it's easy to place an order for one through the app!

After a few months of debate, i finslly ponied up snd bought one of these Backbones. My intent was to use it for playing older games (currently the original Final Fantasy VII), so sll i wanted was a functionsl controller, not concerned with the media stuff it comes with. As a control, this thing is pretty sweet, makes games so much more enjoyable than ising the touch screen. The backbone feels sturdy snd responsibe, well worth $100 IMO. That said, 2 weeks after i got this i upgraded to sn iphone 15 so now i need the usb C version. I liked the control enough to where i will cough up another $100 to get another.

Great Alternative to the Play station Portal at a much better price. I use it with my iPhone 13 and can stream through my PS5 seamlessly. Love this!!!

This is hands down the BEST controller I’ve ever used on my IPhone! I play CODM and it so amazing with this controller! Worth the investment! Very high quality!

Enjoyed using the backbone because I could chill on bed without sitting at my desk playing games. Can use ps remote play and play arcade games that apple provide. Great product.

The perfect device for on the go gaming. I love that it’s the same look and feel as my PS5 at home. I do wish there were some grips or something for the bottom, feels kind of slippery at times.

Joysticks feel better than Nintendo Switch. Playing racing games or Call Of Duty works great, with Fornite was on iOS. The Backbone app works so good that my iPhone transforms in to a portable Playstation and Xbox. The Playstation theme is beautiful.

Purchased as a gift for my husband who loves to game. He generally uses remote play on his laptop, but I figured this would be nice. It’s more portable, feels sturdy, the buttons are responsive, and easy to get setup.

My 8 yr old son loves it. He was amazed that he could play FortNite and Roblox away from home. Thinking about getting one for my grandson!
