Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love playing my game on these really easy to setup and use. The bottom are Decent and the joy sticks is ok

Really nice device - but the Backbone paid service is silly. This should be a one-time charge, not a service for something so basic. It's a shame Backbone is greedy - the hardware is nice but within a year there will be a dozen competitors priced 1/2 this or less, and there will be alternatives for the software that don't require a subscription. That being said, great to use, just don't pay for the service.

Connects easily, smooth online process, portable, friendly interface

Makes playing games on your cellphone easier. Only downside is it’s not compatible with most phone cases

Portable , slick and connects with stuff you already own. My favorite thing about it is playing games with my own AirPods or Bluetooth headphones that already pair to the phine.

Works as advertised. I use it to play warzone. No noticeable lag and very easy to set up

Great alternative to a portal. I had this before getting a portal and decided to sell the portal since it’s unnecessary to have both. Especially worth it if you get it on sale.

I love the backbone! Don’t understand why I didn’t got one earlier.

I absolutely love this thing. Gaming on the go has never been easier. 100% for gamers on the go or who dont feel like lugging the console back and forth.

I was a little skeptical about the backbone at first because I was not sure how it would work but I can say I'm very happy with how that works. I like that I can play my PS5 when I'm not even sitting in front of it and playing on a high-tech phone like I do, the Z fold series, the quality is even better because of the big screen and the great picture. The connection is very quick and so is the response time and handling

its compact and travels well and easily...i can play anywhere i go and there is zero delay with gaming input....

Pretty cool, except that it Takes Over control of the PS5. So, if my son is playing a game and I go to a doctor's appointment and want to play something, it will Let me, Without saying anything, and Kick Him out of his game... It takes Priority to the PS OS.. at the VERY LEAST, it should PROMPT Me that the PS is currently in use, so I want to proceed anyway?... Then I could call my son and Communicate, instead of HIM calling ME to say I kicked him out of his game...

Great controller option for remote play and android gaming. Half the price of PS Portal. $70 price point would be ideal

When used with the PS Remote Play app, the Backbone One delivers low-latency gameplay, allowing you to stream and play PS5 or PS4 games on your mobile device. However, it’s worth noting that the controller lacks a dedicated touchpad, a feature present on the DualSense controller. This omission means that certain in-game functions requiring the touchpad must be accessed via the phone’s touchscreen, which can be less intuitive.

It's a really high quality product. If you're in the market for a phone controller you literally can't go wrong with any backbone product!

Pros: Can charge phone while playing. Lightweight. Dedicated app for game libraries across multiple gaming platforms. Small controller that should fit most hands BUT didn’t feel uncomfortable in my giant hands. Cons: Way too expensive. Thumb sticks feel very cheap and a step behind even jocon sticks. Controller itself feels cheap itself and the price makes it feel even worse. While it can charge your phone while playing, more than likely it will just keep your phone at the charge it was when you plugged it in, it just can’t keep up charging while gaming unfortunately. No feedback. No vibration or anything with the controller, it’s annoying for those that want to feel something while gaming. The app doesn’t do the best job organizing your games or “remembering” your game library and the fact that you’re FORCED into a trail subscription to use the app is outrageous. Overall the controller feels cheap, doesn’t accomplish much besides being a gamepad for your phone and feels way overpriced. Honestly this controller feels like it should be $20 or maybe $30. It gets the job done but you won’t feel like you got your money worth.

Excellent, super fun to use, if you have Netflix subscription, there’s plenty of games there.

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

I gave this item a four star review because I had a problem. I have a Motorola Moto g stylus 2023 5g; but, I couldn't play the games I wanted to play. Like GTA, Red Dead Redemption, etc.. Everytime I would get a message stating "Your device is not compatible". Great if you have young ones, though.

I’m enjoying my backbone gaming device. I have my iPhone 14 working on it and the gameplay is great.
