    Great quality for a handheld gaming system. The purchase offered a game pass for both Xbox an apple arcade. Definitely worth the money.

    Have to say my son loves it. Got it for his birthday, he places PlayStation 5 off of it. It works fantastic, it's almost like having APS Vita.

    Its Fun. You just have to purchase the BackBone App for $49.00 a year so you can use the main gaming menu.

    If you can get this on sale is well worth it, buttons and sticks work very well, great for travel.

    I’m happy overall with the concept. I do think they should have centered the joysticks for the PlayStation edition though. I also wish the body of the controller was shaped similar to the PS5 controller since it’s so ergonomic. As for the feel it’s not quite as solid as one might like but still sturdy. One complaint is that I find my pinky and ring fingers falling asleep in order to hold the controller in the correct fashion. This is basically just a white version of the original design with PlayStation buttons. If you have a decent Wi-Fi connection or even a solid data plan remote play is pretty awesome.

    I like it so far. Feels like i could break it pretty easy. But i do like how it connects with my iPad / ps5! Lil glitchy / laggy but connecting from anywhere is nice
