Customer Ratings & Reviews

The backbone makes mobile gaming so much easier than using your fingers. Especially on first person shooters. My only wish is that they made a bigger size.

Love it on breaks i just take it of my pocket slap it on my cell and play games

It’s good, light and easy to use device that does its job. The main problem is ergonomics. Especially if you have larger hands. Handles lack of thickness and not very comfortable to use for longer sessions.

For on the go gaming it's perfect! Streaming feels way better with the backbone in hand! And as well the free month of game pass I got with it id totally recommend buying this :)

Bought this product so I could continue to use my Xbox while away from the house. Thankfully I picked up this controller for that purpose and it works great! I use it all the time and it in so convenient how it lets you charge your phone through it and it adds a headphone jack for some serious gaming sessions!

This is a great product easy to use the apps are easy to install. It expands nicely to fit all phones. Can charge your device at the same time as using it.

Bought this to use with my iphone to mostly play emulators on my phone. It is great quality and easy to set up. Definitely rexommend.

Amazing for bringing PlayStation games to your phone. Makes long car rides easier! But it’s seamless and easy to use. App is easy to navigate.

This is way better than the Switch and costs so much less. Got the Switch to relax when I'm on the go but Mario kart proved to be too hype for my heart rate, and cost of their other games are ridiculous considering some need internet connection so can only be played with WiFi. And can only use their charger and tv adapters The backbone is super easy to set up and can be used anywhere, I can play all my PS games plus others from Xbox live and my phone. Doesn't need to be charged, very light and portable. Such a great value. Wish they had the PS version in black but the gray gives original PS nostalgia vibes so I'm still happy!

Works great, but wish I didn't need to PlayStation version to quick launch PlayStation remote play easily.

Just like a PS on the go. It works great with majority of the games from the phone. Perfect for traveling. Easy to use and it feels just as a regular remote

Compact and on the go comes with a free case as well dont really need to buy another case since that he a watse of 25$+

Overall great attachment for android phone. Can play ps5 games thru remote play ,which is awesome on the go .. For xbox lovers can do game pass and play tons of great games.. Controls are perfect and perfect graphics. Overall rating 5 stars ...

Love the backbone os and convenience. Lack of hall effect triggers is a letdown in this price point though.

very excellent controller for any phone! Works plug and play with nifty features! can even use with most phone cases

Definitely made work breaks more fun. Recommend a strong internet connection. Product works great even with my case on my phone. Got it at a discount too so it helps when I replace my phone in 3 more years

Huge gamer and provably one of the most convenient pieces i have. I can literally game any where and the quality is really good!

Great purchase, must have for travels, easy to charge while playing, convenient to hold for hours.

Bought for my son, seemed easy to set up but he doesn’t really use it.

This thing is pretty awesome. I had to knock off one star because it didn't work with the case that I had on my phone when I bought the Backbone. My clear Otterrbox Symmetry case was too thick where the USB-C plug of the Backbone plugs into the phone (iPhone 15 Pro), so it would not connect to the phone at all. It seemed like it was just shy of making the connection. I ended up having to buy another case for my phone (3 in less than a month) to be able to make it work. Thankfully, I had just bought a lightning version of the Backbone for my son's iPhone 12 mini one day before buying mine, and it worked great with the case he had on his (JETech Magnetic Case bought on Amazon), so I just bought one of those cases and now the backbone works as advertised. If I had one suggestion for Backbone, it's to make the USB-C plug protrude a sixteenth of an inch or so farther so than it can work with thicker cases. That being said, the improvement they made from Gen 1 to Gen 2 of adding the included swappable magnetic adapters to allow for phone with cases on in the first place was my deciding factor in buying this controller. The Gen 1 Backbone not supporting a phone with its case on was a deal breaker for me. Seriously, who wants to take their case off every time they want to play some games more conveniently? It kind of defeats the purpose. So, I'm glad they addressed it, but they do need to address the small flaw I mentioned above for Gen 3. Overall, it is a very good product, and I would recommend it.
