    Disappointed. Switched from a Razer Kishi but same

    I would love to give this bad boy 5 stars but there a few things stopping me. First off you have to pay for a monthly subscription to their backbone plus membership in order to utilize a lot of the features. The only one I care about is the ability to map certain buttons to certain presses on the screen. I.e. some games don't have controller capabilities, so instead it makes the game think you're tapping the screen when you press a button. Razer kishi doesn't put that option behind a paywall. 2nd of all is that after a while the ribbon that expands and retracts gets messed up and it basically turns your controller into a paperweight. Usually effecting the left side joystick and d-pad. I've had mine for about 6 months but now it's time to throw it away.... so I guess it's really up to you. Is the price worth the amount of time you get with it? Since Razer Kishi and backbone have the same issue my next purchase will probably be a different brand or razer Kishi. Very disappointed

    Really great handheld option for several games. Linked up to my Xbox account with ease and feels super comfortable to play. Giving 4 stars due to its lag on remote play with mw3

    It’s compact, easy to use, and a very simple set up on the phone. Absolutely love it. 10/10 highly recommend to anyone that doesn’t have time to play at home or even if you want to olay while someone else watches tv.

    It's a really high quality product. If you're in the market for a phone controller you literally can't go wrong with any backbone product!

    Overall a very solid controller for my iPhone 15 pro max. Been using it for over a month now and I like it a lot, the buttons are a little loud put you’ll get used to it. It’s perfect for iPhone users.

    This controller is nice. Responsive, fits most smaller phone cases, and is very portable. However if you have big hand like me, it's not the most comfortable controller to use.

    Must have for any hardcore gamer. Find it better than a Portal because you can use it with Xbox, PC, native android games, and emulators too! Pretty comfortable too!
