I can play games at great graphics straight from my phone. It is so beneficial. Works on car trips or even in bed if you want to be laying down comfortably. Highly recommend.

Great device for gaming and it will be suitable for iPhone 15 due to the USB C. Software is fantastic. Highly recommend for on the go or just chilling at home.

These Backbone controller are so clutch! I use them when I’m traveling and just want to play some Xbox Cloud games. The whole Backbone platform is really solid!

Purchased the base model and had it for about a week and a half before returning. It feels great in the hands but the software is almost useless. Most of the apps you use to stream the games are already in the app store,(xbox experience) the xbox app they recommend doesn't work correctly so you have to find the right app after. All the headace for a record button doesn't make it worth the 100$ just buy a Bluetooth remote and you get the same experience with a little cheaper price point

This controller is way better than i initially expected it to be, although some games that say they are controller capable are not, it is still one of the best purchases ive ever made.

Works great for remote play on Xbox and PS5. Also come with a headphone jack, which is AMAZING if you have a newer phone that doesnt have one.

It's really good!
The Android app is in beta and so the subscription service doesn't apply right now. I would take 1 star off once they start charging for that.

My son loves it. The only drawback is that you will have to take your phone out of any protective case like an Otterbox to use it.
