    The item itself works great but there is not many games that support the device. Honestly I think this would be such a good device if more devs would allow users to use the backbone with their games. I personally use it quite often and I think its a good value for the price.

    It definitely is worth it if you do a lot of trips or you are a person that frequents public transport. You can definitely catch up on your games on your way home from work or school providing your willing to pay an extra $40 a year for the subscription to be able to do so.

    This controller is awesome especially since the new iPhone 15 Pro Max now has USB-C this literally turned your phone into an actual gaming device on the go. Very fun highly recommend.

    I bought it for gift. It turned out to be a great gift, especially for the one that loves to play PlayStation, but always on the go.

    I no longer need to take my Playstation on trips with me. Even in the car on a mobile hotspot it works quicker than youd expect. Being able to play my phone games is a huge plus too

    Works great, easy to use. Love being able to play console games from afar on my phone. The built-in software and extra backbone buttons work well too. Comfortable to hold, but a little small for bigger hands.

    It's nice and neat and somewhat easy to use had to get used to where the joycon was.Good for offline/story mode games, not so good for online games. And it's good for where you're bored and you're not at home.

    Feels sturdy in the hands, works seamlessly, you don’t need to use the app at all. May be a bit small for those with larger hands, but it’s working out perfectly for myself.

    It's ok. I have trouble playing my PS5 games over the network whether I am at home or away. Playing any of the apple games is nice.

    It works. If you have a better phone screen than mine it might even be really enjoyable to stream games on!

    This is a must have to game in on your phone. However I feel the subscription that’s optional is a rip off.

    I got this as a gift for my brother, I've seen these before and never took too much interest in them, but after seeing it in action, I thinking of getting another one for myself!

    An ok controller. I’d look into other controllers.

    It’s an ok controller. If you do NOT have a subscription to Backbone+, then the screen record/shot button won’t work so you will need to manually screen record/shot. *yes, you need to sub to use that button. The backbone button(orange button) will take you to the app. But again, if you aren’t subscribed you can’t launch the game from that app. You will need to manually tap on the app you want to launch. I’ve had the latest Cod Warzone Mobile USB C for my iPhone 15 Pro for 2 months and now I’m contacting the manufacturer for a common issue that once you connect your phone to the controller it cuts the audio off making the iPhone think the backbone controller is an audio headset. Also, the analog stick does NOT go in a certain direction. My left analog stick when doing a calibration I noticed the left stick not going to the outer top circle like my right stick does. This is an issue I notice in game when I’m trying to sprint. Essentially it’s a constant issue I have and it makes my character sprint/walk repeatedly. Makes it unplayable.

    I’m a big gamer and this was an excellent buy to play on the go. Can’t carry my Xbox everywhere I go so the backbone was a great buy!
