Great product. The latest version allows me to keep my iPhone case on and attach the backbone. Tons of gaming options with XBox, Steamlink, Delta, etc… I would recommend to any gamer that wants to game on the go.

One of the best Mobile controller available. Faster gameplay.

I picked up the Backbone Gen 2 as a compromise for the Steam Deck since im currently going through older games on my backlog (Gameboy and PSP. Playing through RetroArch). The controller is built well and not very flimsy from what i noticed. Triggers are weird but kind of nice. Its a controller for your phone so theyre short and not of the quality of a PS or XBOX. Sticks are fine, DPad is fine, DPad feels kind of stiff to me, and the Face Buttons feel slightly less stiff as the DPad. Overall the controller is good and the headphone jack + usb-c port to charge your phone while the controller is plugged in is great. Biggest downside is having to download an app but thats really not that bad either.

Normally I would use a clip with a Xbox controller but this gives it more of a Switch or handheld PC feel. I've used it both with an iPhone and an Android and it works seamlessly on both.

Effortlessly transforms my sons iPhone device into a powerful gaming platform, offering versatility with a wide range of supported games. Its ergonomic design, impressive compatibility, and the ability to charge phone while gaming is great. Super easy to set-up.

Pros on IPhone 16: Light, quality build with buttons and joysticks that function very responsively. Easy to play RPGs, maybe some difficulty with action games but mostly because of playing on a smaller phone screen. It fits with variety of phone cases (but not all). Can use WiFi or your phones data plan to remote play. Cons: might have to take your case off to fit it but it’s expandable to a point. Have to learn the buttons because some will send you out of the app to the Home Screen mid play. It needs a touch screen function button to assist because on PS remote play you have to press the screen and it gets wonky.

Love it to play my playstation games xbox and pc is awesome

The producto is very good, it is highly recommended

Very useful and comfortable the quality is good i would recommend it

Worth the price. Recommend for gamers..............

Works great with the iPhone 15 Pro Max [you'll need to swap the plastic side guards for the bigger phone, which was a bit of an annoyance... hence the star off. Joysticks feel good, if a bit tight... but I REALLY like how tight the buttons feel on this thing. So much so I really kinda wish I could get a PS controller for my PC with the same feel [they almost have a tactile mechanical feel, which I love] So far it's been mostly Dead Cells on my phone... and for a portable gaming device, it works. I haven't used this with my PS5 at all, mostly because I don't think FFXIV would go over well on a mobile phone, but as a standalone device for new phones that have almost as much power as the OG M1 mac? Not too shabby ^^

It is comfortable and easy to use but it broke too easy seems to be a normal issue where something inside breaks and one half of the controller is unusable

Only reason this isn't 5 star is the joystick, specifically the left one are kind of trashy and for 105 dollars, they should be much better. Other than the sticks I absolutely love this thing. I really thought it would be a once in a great while type of thing but I use it more often than not. It's simple, clean, and the buttons feel amazing. I do wish it had more. I don't use a turbo button that often but that wouldve been nice. Also a pair of remappable buttons would have also been nice, but honestly it's the one controller where I'm forgiving of it besides the Nintendo switch pro controller. I do feel like the price is steep (also like the Nintendo switch pro) but I somehow have no issue with it if it lasts and keeps doing a great job.

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.

Controller feels nice in the hand and works very well. Very satisfied.

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.

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.

Worth the money for streaming platforms, ( geforce now, xbox, luna...etc) mobile gaming is great. Light, completely portable. D pad is no good, personally. Love the size. On budget and travel, Lol, like buying a travel size console, fits right in the bag.

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.

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.
