    I bought the Backbone when it was first released, and after a few years it sadly broke. I orginally replaced it with a Razer Kishi (Gen1 & Gen2). When I upgraded to a phone with USB-C it was time to upgrade my controller too. I went with the Backbone on a whim and I have no regrets. The App, the ergonomics of the grip, and the sturdy feeling of the phone inside the controller are all way better than either of the Kishi. The only thing keeping me from the backbone orignally was the phone being held at an angle in the original design to account for the camera bump, but this new design fixes that and is 100x better.

    So I got mine from my cousin since he didn’t have an iPhone and it’s a game changer when playing mobile games. He uses his everyday as well

    Excellent portability for on the go gaming. Much better price compared to other handhelds since your phone is used.

    This thing is pretty cool, the concept is awesome, however, I couldn't find many games that it worked with it (that were good or at least cheap/free). I think I also unknowingly messed up by getting this black one instead of the white Playstation version, because it has issues when it comes to playing remotely from my PS4. Going to see if they let me trade it in and hope the other one is better. The adapters definitely seem like a great add-on too by the way, just a little difficult to change them due to strong magnets.

    Excellent little handheld, remote play works pretty seamlessly with it and I honestly can't complain about the experience at all. Way better alternative to spending $200 on the Portal.

    The 2nd generation is quite a bit better than the first generation. The main benefit is your phone will fit with a very slim case. That is convenient if you don't have a case that slides on and off very easy.

    I love it . It keeps me wanting to play games just enough I like the way it’s easy to use and connect to other platforms on the app once you plug the phone right in the usb connection .

    Works great with Google Play games and if you have a wired ethernet connection for your PS5, the remote play will work pretty well. Got this when it was $70 dollars.

    Most games that we like to play ate not compatible with the play station back bone. The scuf back bone is easy better and more compatible with all games and the app was free. This one you need a membership or you watch ads constantly. Also does not have ts own batteries and the phone stains quickly so needs constant charged

    This thing is amazing. My phone fits it this with ease and I can use my PS5 remote play from anywhere with really a really good connection. Love this thing and use it daily.
