Excelent item stress free great compatibility with android, ps works amazing is comfortable at hand

Some days I just want to play games while lying on my bed or couch. Plugging this into my phone and streaming games from my PC is fantastic. Only downside, is that the usb-c port on the controller doesn't seem to support data passthrough to my iPhone. It would have been great if I could attach it to a dock that would passthrough power and an ethernet connection. Other than that all the buttons are responsive and the app launcher make it well worth it.

It's good, the update piece to fit phones with case was nice. If you don't mind playing on your phone, than is worth it. Light to carry around and comfortable enough to just play just about anything.

Backbone is great for mobile gaming. Its small enough to take with you. Buttons are responsive overall great product. My only complaint would be price could be a little lower.

Amazing controller for all iPhone games and works great with my PS5 and Xbox games.

I love this if you’re new to this, I would recommend this other than the PlayStation portal because that’s gonna cost much but if you want to start I’ll recommend this cause it’s a lot cheaper even on Black Friday. It’s a very good item I would say you won’t regret this.

The backbone offers great portable controls for your everyday phone! I personally use it with PlayStation remote play and it works flawless. Great built quality and comfort.

I bought this for my husband as a fathers day gift a couple years ago. He literally takes it with him everywhere. He can just snap his phone right into it. And he doesn't have to worry about the hassle of carrying around a controller and a charger for the controller. Granted the price of a controller and this device is essentially the same, but now he can leave his controller at home! He loves that the feel of the backbone is similar to the controller itself. The fact that it collapses is also great for when you need to put it in small spaces, meaning i can literally stick it in my purse and not have it being bulky! This keeps him gaming on the go! It's great for gaming when he has down time at work or when we are traveling.

I like how easy it is to connect mobile device. A great feeling in the hands. I enjoy playing mobile games more now, it feels like a PS controller tbh. The companion app is really nice and is smooth to navigate in. I have not had any problems. Worth the buy.

I liked that it's pretty portable and has charging passthrough. It is a little pricey in my opinion and one of the more annoying features is the app wants you to purchase a subscription every time it opens. The buttons are clicky and the dpad is decent. There aren't very many phone games that use it but I got it for deadcells to play on a flight and found it worked with stardew valley as well. Although pricey I kept it since it works with PlayStation remote play and with steam remote play. Great for when I want to play and someone is using the tv.

This thing is great. Buttons are great, iphone 15 pro max fits great in the controller. Performance of the controller is great as well.

Picked this up during BF for $70. To sum it up, the backbone controller is like attaching Switch Joy Cons to your phone (with slightly larger joy sticks). The experience is great for almost any game that supports a controller. Emulation, SteamLink, Play Store and sideloaded games all work and with a direct USB-C connection there isnt any noticeable input lag. Works well with my Pixel 7 and slim bumper case. Only downside is the backbone doesnt support USB transfer through its secondary USB-C port. So no ability to add additional storage for a larger catalog of local games.

I like how you can use it for pretty much anything Xbox steam pass to remote PlayStation and then heading back to Apple Arcade really convenient when I’m on the road or at work.

The backbone PlayStation edition is a great product to have as a mobile gamer. You can stream your console directly to your phone with low latency. I recommend this over the PlayStation portal because you can do more than just play PlayStation games. You wont regret buying one of these.

I’m not a gamer, I’m just a dad who works a lot. Somehow this device has me obsessed. I haven’t put it down since I bought it. I take it everywhere in my pocket. I love it!!!

I use a Samsung Flip 3 5G. I bought the white playstation model. The phone fits perfect with extra set of adapters that come with it. Very easy to take out the original and pop in the other ones. I use it to play off my PS5 at home in another part of the house, while im on the bus to work, or 30 miles away at work. No problems at all knock on wood. There is an odd looking button that you use to be able to connect the phone to ps remote play that took me a while to figure out. Thats it. I recommend to any Samsung flip users and or PS Remote users.

Bought one for me and one for my son. I use Xbox cloud gaming and he plays mobile Fortnite.They work exactly as advertised. Connection was plugged in play. Like the product so much that I might buy another one in the pro version.

I bought this for my son for Christmas and it’s by far his favorite present this year! He also got the new Nintendo switch 2 but still plays using this more. My daughter kept borrowing it so I went back to get another.

Perfect for gaming on the go. I use my Xbox, PS5 and emulators on my phone with this. I use a Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Great concept and much easier to play on if you haven't adapted yourself to other controllers like Xbox or PlayStation. The joysticks are just not like console controllers and way further apart. I'm sure you can get used to it with enough time but for me personally I change all my settings and sensitivities on my controllers and I play on the Xbox elite and this was just to odd to play on. I only got it for when I'm out at work in the oilfield for 7 days. I played it one time and was just not feeling it. Also I have a great phone (s24) but be darned I'm getting old and I was squinting to all heck trying to play COD zombies seriously and it wasn't happening lol I already gave it away. So most of this is my personal opinion and the quality of the backbone is there and the concept is awesome my opinion is just something to think on before you drop $100. It could be about $60-65 and would make more sense considering you're already paying for gamepass or the backbone subscription. You get 30day trial of backbone subscription. BUT it is portable and that's great as long as you have phone service!
