    The unut itself is great, fits on my phone and the buttons feel very comfortable. The capabilities of how well the ganes play is dependent on your mobile network, wifi connection, and how good your phone is.

    Left side issues

    This is my second product from them. On the first one, the left joystick started drifting for no reason at all the company replaced it. Cool. But now I have a completely different product with left side issues again. This time the L2 button is reading as if it is pressed when it’s not. I believe when this device was designed, they didn’t consider bigger phones and now that Apple has a huge phone I believe the product stretches too far and this is what may be causing the issue.

    This device is pretty decent and is a great idea but the set up of the control is pretty difficult to work with but that is personal preference.

    One of the best gamepads for Android, a very cool software for launching games, but in terms of comfort and ergonomics it is much worse than the xbox gamepad.

    I enjoy it. It doesn't fit all phone cases. Some games you have to manually bind the buttons. The spring loaded clamping puts me on edge that the phone jack may bend or snap off.

    This back bone is literally the best ! You can connect it to a iPhone 15 or android phone and it has so many games so of course you won’t be bored with this at all! I may purchase another one

    It’s a very nice and quality product. It worked well with my Galaxy s24 plus. However, I did not enjoy gaming with a smaller screen. I guess handheld gaming is not for me.

    Could've been a little bit better ergonomically. R2 and L2 buttons could be more curved more like a PS5 controller. I bet the snd version will be better.

    I had the previous model of the BackBone, I was a bit upset that I needed to buy a new BackBone in order to use it with my iPhone 15. The good news is that I got a good deal on it during Black Friday.
