Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works perfectly on iPhone 15 pro, I use it to play on GamePass it is very comfortable and you can charge your device while playing. Also work fine with CoD Mobile, RE8 and RE4 for iOS. It works with case installed

Instantly connects the app is cool puts all games in order and shows other games to play downside is its a subscription service. Can easily record gameplay which is cool feature. Using it to play indiana jones, assassin's creed on xbox stream service, Fortnite which been working great, cod mobile where im now undefeated mvp, and the gta definitive editions where cheat code combo smash still works and easy to input.

This is a pretty average controller that's being sold for too high a price, no hall effect sticks, no vibration, the form factor is too small for me and I have small hands and still find it uncomfortable, and there are multiple reports of one of the joysticks cable detaching and rendering the controller useless and needing a replacement. You're better off getting a Gamesir X5, cheaper and more comfortable.

Excellent product. Great quality, easy to use, and exactly as described. It exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend it.

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.

The backbone is truly the standard of mobile gaming. Glad I bought one for my PlayStation!

I bought this item and my bf loves it. Really good item to get your kids or partner

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.

I was dead set on getting a Playstation Portal, because that was the official Sony product and I always want to buy the official thing. However, after the urging of a few friends, since I couldn't find the Portal anywhere, I picked this up instead. It hooks directly into my iPhone and lets me play not only my PS5 on my phone, but Game Pass games as well. The remote is super high quality, and requires ZERO charging. There are adapters in the box for different shapes and sizes of phones. The version I purchased will hold an iPhone 15 Pro Max without a case on it. There may be some cases it will work with, but mine is just a tad too big.

Nice little thing to have for on the road or just don’t want to get on console

Works great, but wish I didn't need to PlayStation version to quick launch PlayStation remote play easily.

For on the go gaming it's perfect! Streaming feels way better with the backbone in hand! And as well the free month of game pass I got with it id totally recommend buying this :)

The build quality, portability, and ease of use make this controller a must have for mobile Iphone gamers. It also supports phones with cases now which was a nice surprise, highly recommend this device

Extremely ergonomic. I was playing emulators with touchscreen controls, and I didn’t realize how much I needed this. The buttons have a nice click to them and the triggers are very responsive. The app compiles all your games that have controller support into one area, and it even suggests more from the app store or other cloud gaming services. You need the app for an initial configuration, but after that it’s plug and play. There’s no difference between the playstation branded one and the regular one, just the color. I got this one to match my PS5.

It’s good, light and easy to use device that does its job. The main problem is ergonomics. Especially if you have larger hands. Handles lack of thickness and not very comfortable to use for longer sessions.

Excellent little device to take with you on the bus, to work for your breaks and on vacation. Very fast, reliable and plays every game with buttons!

I'm docking a star because this did not work out of the box with my iPhone 15 Pro. I had to go through and connect it to an Android device first and launch the app. I believe this updates the firmware. But that is absolute nonsense for a product that is literally labeled as the 2nd generation that SUPPORTS the iPhone 15 series. I've read that this impacts a small number of units. But I literally just got this a few days ago. That rant aside, it works really well. It definitely has a Nintendo Switch joy-con feel to it especially with the analog stick placement. I do wish it had some grip to it. It almost feels like it's going to slip out of my hand like butter at any moment. If it feels awkward to connect your phone to it, I'd read the instructions on the Backbone website. It made a lot more sense once I did it the intended way. Could just be a me thing. I'm dumb sometimes. lol The passthrough 3.5mm audio jack is a really nice touch. It does also have a USB-C passthrough for charging I believe, but I haven't had to use it yet. (iPhone 15 Pro battery is kinda awesome) I don't use a phone case, so I don't know how well it works with one. I've heard it can be hit or miss. I believe there are specific compatible cases you can get that work with this. I'd see the Backbone website for that. As a side note, if you're using a controller on your phone for the first time, try something like Minecraft first. I've noticed that some games require you go through their touch screen tutorial before you can even use a controller which is just silly. Minecraft doesn't. That's not the controller's fault and that might leave you with a false impression that it doesn't work. Overall, it's really cool. A bit expensive. But I think I'm gonna really enjoy having this the next time I have to sit and wait for car repairs. (It's inevitable...)

The backbone makes mobile gaming so much easier than using your fingers. Especially on first person shooters. My only wish is that they made a bigger size.

Amazing product that I am still using till this day

Love it on breaks i just take it of my pocket slap it on my cell and play games
