Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the ease of use and compatibility of the Backbone One controller with various games and devices, praising its USB-C connection for convenient charging and gameplay. Many appreciate its functionality with Xbox Game Pass and the ability to play games on the go, although some find the controller's size less suitable for larger hands. Positive feedback also highlights the controller's responsiveness and its minimal impact on phone battery life.

    My review of the BackBone

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Pros -Built quality is good. -it feels nice to hold. -Buttons feel great to press -design looks just like the Nintendo Switch with the phone in it Cons -Currently not much apps work with the controller -unfortunately you can't use a phone case so for those who uses phone cases will have to take it off to play the BackBone Maybe I'll update it in the future but for now this is all my opinion on the BackBone
