    This controller is so intuitive has pre mapped settings for Triple A FPS titles like fortnite and call of duty the pass through charging is a great feature so you charge and play at the same time. The added adapters ensure secure fit with most smartphone . 5 star would definitely recommend

    Backbone or Gamesir G8 Plus for IPhone 16 Pro Max!

    I tried out the Backbone and Gamersir G8 Plus for my mobile gaming needs. The Backbone is great for mobile gaming. It is small and light compared to the Gamersir G8 Plus. The big plus is passthrough charging. The controls feel like switch controllers, which may be a downside for some. It is only compatible with certain cases for the iPhone 16 Pro Max. In the end, I picked the Gamesir G8 Plus. Despite giving up the passthrough charging, I preferred the feel of an actual controller. Also, I have a bulky case and did not want to switch and/or take my case off every time I wanted to use a controller. The Backbone is great for those who: -Want a small and light controller -Have a compatible case -Want passthrough charging

    Backbone PS

    Worth every penny. This backbone was a gift and it gets used EVERYDAY, I had to purchase a case and bumpers for the toggels. The accessories were super cool (and purchased separately). This backbone is litterally a PSP but cheaper and you use your phone. I would recommend getting a warranty because the analong sticks and triggers started to stick and that is common with backbones.

    The controller works really well. I do wish it was bigger for my hands, but i understand the need for portability. I appreciate the usb c connection for charging my phone while i play as well as the aux cable port for my headphones so that i dont have to worry about Bluetooth lag.

    The backbone was a good piece of equipment it wasn't compatible with my phone for some reason but it worked with my mom's phone just fine it's a very sleek design it's just like holding a controller in your hand I was able to use it to play my PlayStation games on my PlayStation as my controller I was also able to use it to play Xbox game pass on my phone which was excellent it was easy to use and understand instructions I loved had interchangeable pieces to fit different size phones overall a great piece of gaming equipment on the go my cousin bought one and he loves it I would add photos but I don't have none at the moment and another thing is that I loved it had its own app for the backbone app was very easy to navigate and easy to use and again very very overall good product for anybody that wants to game on The Go or just doesn't want to turn on their consoles and play on their big TV and you're also able to use it just on your phone to like go through your messages and stuff like that surf Facebook Instagram scroll through the internet

    This thing is awesome. I’m able to play my PS five on the go anywhere I’m at as long as I have a Wi-Fi or cellular connection. Just gotta leave it in standby mode play this thing all the time the buttons aren’t the best but it’s better than not playing. It’s hard to play first person shooter, but it’s great to play sports games Not saying that you you can’t play first person shooter but it’s just tough maybe better for younger people I was able to get this for $75 on sale in store. Not sure the price now but definitely would buy again tried to link it to my Xbox, but I believe you need a separate version of the control would definitely buy again
