Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pros: Works perfectly with the included adapters with my Iphone 15 pro max with the Dbrand ghost case. Fits really well in hands and comfortable. Cons: no phone cooler or space for a MagSafe one.

Love the backbone, was skeptical at first because ive tried other similar items, but thlhe backbone feels like an actual console controller. Definitely recommend.

This is probably the best on the go gaming controller because i can play a lot that I have on my ps4 and i can play this anywhere, its just wow but over all this gaming controller is awesome.

I carry it with me everwhere i go. Love playing PS Remote play games on it on the go. Love the fact that you can connect the power cable while playing and it even has a headphone jack! 10/10 would recommend for gamers.

Functional (usually) and makes gaming on my phone more convenient. However, I didn’t realize it was not designed to support my phone case, even with the adapters removed. So now I either have to buy a smaller case or repeatedly remove my current case whenever I want to play. Also it’s prone to randomly switching my phone to portrait mode when inserting a USB-C cable into the passthrough charging port.

Great in the hands! Perfect for mobile gaming. Works seamlessly.

Great accessory for my phone. Links directly to my ps5 so I can play remotely from anywhere as long as there is service or wifi. Would recommend for any person who wants to play their system on the go.

Very handy but ps remote play needs work. Great for Apple Arcade though

Great product, shipping was fast, item arrived with no issues, my wife is able to remote play her playstation, steam, and play her phone games with it, buttons feel nice and it fits her new phone very snug.

This was a gift for our grandson. He loves it, it allows him to play his Playstation games remotely when he isn’t home. He already has the Nintendo switch, and he says this is a great addition to his gaming setups.

I am really enjoying this controller for my phone. I can access my xbox cloud games as well as play anything from theGoogle play store. Really glad i bought this!

It’s perfect, I love the size of it, it’s great for traveling. The software connects right away and even has a button for it to get to games.

Feels great and the buttons are very crisp and reactive. Feels like a brand new playstation controller. I am not playing playstation games on my phone.Just once from the google app store and they are working great.

Overall, the Backbone is great for gaming on the go. It's hard to find time to play games at home with a tight schedule, so being able to play within my commute is great. Although, one complaint I do have which I am currently looking into are the thumbsticks. I do not recommend using the Backbone for FPS games or any game that heavily relies on accurate aim. Playing around with deadzones within games has provided some fix, but definitely would not recommend in that regard. It seems very similar to the Switch's thumbsticks, but ideally, the Backbone should go for more of an Xbox/Playstation feel. If later additions do so, easily 10/10 product.

Gifted this to my adult child for Christmas and they loved it. Made gaming on the go a lot more fun! I would definitely recommend it.

Very cool mobile controller! Makes playing Diablo Immortal and many other games so much more fun and comfortable on the iPhone. Could be slightly larger for those with bigger hands.

I was able to use my iphone 15 pro max with this with no issues. I even was able to keep the case on my phone. I have the apple clear case that released at launch of thr iphone 15. I used both cloud gaming and remote play and I had a great time playing elden ring. No comfort issues wkrh controller grip. Only giving this 4 star tboigh becuse rhe backbone software is not worth the yearly cost considering what it does. Its nice to have all your games in one place and also benefit from voice chat within the backbone platform but for me, i have not friends on backbone.

[Employee of bestbuy] 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.

This Backbone works way too well. Easy setup, great controls, and now my phone is no longer a phone. Five stars, I guess.

works great. very easy to set up and use. the only downside, there is no track pad available. so if you are using the playstation remote, just remember you wont have access to the trackpad.
