Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really liked it in general, I bought it because I travel a lot and I can't take my PS5 everywhere, it is very easy to use and you only need one app which is PS Remove Play and obviously a good internet connection, the only thing that doesn't I liked that it has a little delay in some games like Call of Duty.

Great Little Handheld on the Run!! It works perfectly for what it is. Giving your phone (or tablet) the ability to act as a Gaming Console with a fully functional controller. You can pay for access to use your controller on other devices or just plug and play with your PS4/5 or iPhone. It’s an extremely fast installation and recognition by the phone. The only thing to keep an eye out for is your phone must be updated to the latest firmware to use the Backbone One.

Very snappy feels just like im playing on the ps5 and i like being able to play ios games with it as well.

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.

If you want on the go gaming, look no further than this here. Very easy to connect and is compatible with the PSN app.

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

This is the best controller for iphone for both on device gamenplay and remote ps5 gamenplay. Works well with iphone 14 pro max

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

Love how smooth the buttons are and how sleek is the design of the backbone and the color too.

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

I’m totally blown away by the way this works it really does a great job it plays just like the console a great gift for someone

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.

Shipping was fast and arriving on time. The gaming device is great quality, very sturdy. My child loves it turns his phone in to a gaming console basically! Definitely worth the purchase!! Love it

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.

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.

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.

Its really great for controllers if you want to stream to your mobile device it definetly has the feel of quality. Some caveats it doesnt work with alot of thick cases so if your the type to lock your phone in an otterbox your gonna have to take it out everytime. Additionally it doesnt work well with the iphone camera bump on the pro models so they had to put in a little rubber piece to account for it. Additionally it comes with a subscription plan not to play with the controller but it locks some stuff behind a 30 dollar a year plan but very specific use cases like using the controller as an external on ipad and their own proprietary homescreen.
