    Perfect for gaming on the go. I own this and the playstation portal, and while this doesn't have the biggest screen(due to it being limited by your phone size) it's still nice for playing on the go both over wifi and a data connection.

    Controls spot on and responsive and felt comfortable in hand. However returned because was not compatible with my phone case and the inconvenience of having to remove and reinstall case outweighed using the controller.

    You really do get what you pay for, great PS like game play and for the price you pay I feel like they really did do something good here.Could use some work the minor lagging really could mess up your in-game experience.

    This is my second Backbone product and it works flawlessly with my 15 Pro Max. I just want the PS Remote Play to be a little bit better but I’ll settle for this since it’s a lot cheaper than the portal and I can use my device with it. Also works for the pixel fold.

    The item works perfectly fine. Great for mobile players, seeking a good controller. a bit pricey for the quality in my opinion, but overall a good experience. The app is good but is expensive.

    Its a lot better than I thought it would be. Xbox game pass and Warframe on Ios just gives so much value to this device. PlayStation requires WiFi to use but everything else is good.

    Best mobile controller for remote play, Xbox cloud and steam link. Works with all USB c phones and tablets when using a c to c cable. First and only 3rd party controller to work with ps remote play. Buttons feel good and have excellent travel.
