    I considered getting the other controller with the screen already built in - but this product is just that, but with your phone! I think it's pretty nifty! Also there was a great deal when I bought it (it was like $10-20 off on sale) and I used two gift cards and ending up buying it for a whooping $70 :D The staff was so patient with me and knowledgeable and I'm grateful they led me to a great product!

    Playstation on the go

    This thing is awesome. I’m able to play my PS five on the go anywhere I’m at as long as I have a Wi-Fi or cellular connection. Just gotta leave it in standby mode play this thing all the time the buttons aren’t the best but it’s better than not playing. It’s hard to play first person shooter, but it’s great to play sports games Not saying that you you can’t play first person shooter but it’s just tough maybe better for younger people I was able to get this for $75 on sale in store. Not sure the price now but definitely would buy again tried to link it to my Xbox, but I believe you need a separate version of the control would definitely buy again

    The Backbone One PlayStation Edition is an absolute game changer for mobile gaming. The ergonomic design feels premium, and the buttons are responsive, mimicking the feel of a PlayStation Controller. Highly recommended for anyone wants a console like gaming experience on their phone.

    Got me hooked to cod mobile. Just not too crazy about the app. When you try to access some games through the backbone app, some games like pub g ask you to sibscride to backbones premium app and theres no way to bypass this unless you agree. But you just have to access the game through the gamea respective app and not the backbone app. Other than that, its dope. Use it on my s24 ultra while im at work

    Backbone Phone Controller

    The backbone integrated well with steam link, Apple Arcade and their own app that can link to PS network. The feel of it is great, there’s seemingly no lag between user and game, and the integration is extremely simple. This will be great for flights and downtime away from home, or the convenience of handheld gaming. Would recommend

    Absolutely love the backbone. Gives my kids something to do on long trips. And saves you the money on purchasing a whole new hand held system. Also I tend to play it myself at work lol. Oh and let me add it connects to a tablet for a bigger screen.

    While there are more console-like controllers out there, and for cheaper, the backbone remained my selection because of its portability and the backbone app. Also, I cannot forget the ease of use, which was a huge factor in me keeping this over something else like the Gamesir.

    This turned my iPhone 15 pro max into a gaming machine beast. If you are a gamer and have a good phone make sure you get this asap you will not regret it. Buy it asap! It has me playing my backlog of lots of games I wouldn’t normally play on my ps5 but sitting in bed it’s nice. It has its own software etc. very well made.

    Great to use for remote play, easy to use and accessible, only issue I have is that the joysticks are a little small and sensitive. But it is still a great tool to have to play video games while laying down in bed.

    It's a nice little device. Works great with my iPhone 15plus, was able to remote play my PS5 while traveling. Only a couple minor issues keeping it from 5 stars, one is the ergonomics of it prevents much more than a half hour of playtime before your hands start getting really cramped and the 3.5mm headphone jack is a bit too small of a hole and didn't work with my audiophile style cans. I really like the service, the app collates all your game services and games into one launcher which is nice. Lastly, it worked great with the Delta app for all things retro gaming.
