Customer Ratings & Reviews

The best thing about Backbone is the convince of not having to lug around a huge handheld and being able to hop right on your favorite games via phone. The only drawback is if you have a subpar phone and connection, you’ll get subpar gameplay. Other than that this does exactly what it needs to for gaming on an iPhone for cloud games and native iPhone games.

Love it so far. My only concern was the lag some people mentioned in their reviews. But i played GTA 5 online and couple of other games and did not experience lag so i was happily surprised. Just a hassle to take off iPhone case every time. i have iphone 14 pro max and had to use the adapter to make it fit (it comes in the box).

Hands down the greatest mobile controller! Very easy to setup. Works with whatever cloud streaming platforms you may be associated with. Works with a large variety of mobile games. A must for Vampire Survivors! =) Makes remote play a million times better! I fully recommend this product!

This Backbone is great. It works amazing for Playstation Remote Play and works for any controller-supported apps you have on your phone. Got this initially for the PS Remote Play but have found myself playing more games on my phone thanks to this handy controller. It's surpassed all expectations!

I loved the portability of it and thf fact that it can be used not only for play station games but also steam , xbox and mobile games. One thing to know for new users is that after you free trial month you have to subscribe yearly tho

Felt comfortable in your hands. Pretty easy to use. Only downfall was it didnt fit properly because of the lense protector over the camera lenses, even with the adapter they provided for the iphone 13 pro max.

Grat for remote play when traveling. I've always been hesitant with devices like this, but it feels really good on your hands while playing games like Spider-man on PS5 or Alan Wake on Xbox.

Absolutely love this. It’s great on the go. Can leave my PlayStation at home & still have quality gaming through remote play.

Impressive! Works well with the PS5. My kids say it helps them playing fortnite and roblox on their phone. They even played Spider-Man 2 from their phone while I was on the TV

I purchased this to try it out. I really didn't expect to like it but it's quickly become my go-to for gaming while traveling. It's lightweight and doesn't need batteries so I can just throw it into a carry-on and I'm good to go. Remote play on both Xbox and PlayStation works great!

Great product for travelling and on the go gameplay. If you have an iPhone 13 Pro Max, it's a little tricky to fit into the controller but it's not that bad. Make sure your lightning port is clean as well. Mine had some dust in it and the connection was pretty bad but that's a problem with my phone and not the controller.

It’s a very intuitive device. I enjoy using the remote play option for my PlayStation. In addition to that, the Apple Arcade apps are much more comfortable to play. being able to use the Backbone by itself as a controller for my PC makes it the perfect accessory to bring for long trips or a quick gaming setup if you pay games on your laptop.

Works great for any games that use joysticks and buttons. Much better than using the on screen buttons. Trigger buttons are a bit small. I use it for remote play with PS5

Good product, but it doesn't allow for use with a phone case. The fitting is too snug for a slim phone case to be used with it. You will have to remove your case to use, but it is a quality product aside from that.

Incredible portability and quality. The only problem now is for mobile game developers to include more controller support on their games, but this combined with Xbox Game Pass is heaven

The Backbone has helped me game not only for Playstation games but Microsoft also. I take this everywhere due to the ease of use. Its a sturdy and worthy product.

I bought the backbone in order to make my (admittedly) very long Diablo Immortal mobile farming sessions more tolerable. What I discovered was that, while the controller feels premium and the buttons solid, my hands are too large and made using this more of an exhausting endeavor rather than a relaxing one. I ultimately returned this product as it didn’t meet my specific needs, but don’t be discouraged from giving it a try. If my hands were smaller I would have 100% kept it. The pros: premium materials and buttons, seamless iOS integration The cons: button presses are noisy and can be heard in quiet environments (such as when you’re laying in bed next to your significant other) which made this a dealbreaker in my case. Additionally, if you have large hands this may not be the one for you.

It’s very useful for what it is used it for about a week took it back and got the new PlayStation portal.

My boyfriend loves it. He says the quality of the backbone is solid, easy to use, and it’s convenient for long car rides.

Great product. Biggest downside is how small it feels in my hands. Still makes mobile gaming more enjoyable and has a nice app that makes gaming more console-like.
