This is a very quality controller. Nice feeling triggers and clicks buttons. Fits really nice around the iPhone 15 with the extra sides the include. Works great with all games and the app is neat. You do have to pay for it but they give you a year free. If you like playing mobile games but don’t want to lug around a controller this is definitely a great option. Great size that I think could fit all hands

Absolutely love the backbone. Gives my kids something to do on long trips. And saves you the money on purchasing a whole new hand held system. Also I tend to play it myself at work lol. Oh and let me add it connects to a tablet for a bigger screen.

Works awesome with my iPhone 15 and Pixel. Most of the compatible games are easy to get going, a few are a huge pain, but it’s not the controller’s fault. I think most problems arise from streaming a game that used a launcher other than Steam, ie, when Ubisoft Connect also wants to launch. The travel case is also an awesome accessory.

Great for rpgs Nd other games of that nature. If you play FPS games like call of duty mobile then this is NOT a good choice. Small sticks retstrict precision aiming.  the feel is similar to the Nintendo switch joy cons, so if you don’t like them, then this is not for you.

This turned my iPhone 15 pro max into a gaming machine beast. If you are a gamer and have a good phone make sure you get this asap you will not regret it.
Buy it asap! It has me playing my backlog of lots of games I wouldn’t normally play on my ps5 but sitting in bed it’s nice. It has its own software etc. very well made.

Its prerty cool just wish it would vibrate on all gaming. Plus in order to get the full experience you do have to pay for a subscription. But if you dont mind the cost I definitely recommend picking on up.

I love my backbone one! The fact that I dont have to map any keys, and that it is powered by the phone is a huge plus! I hate having to carry chargers everywhere. I wish I could use my fold 4 as a display but other than that, I am extremely satisfied.

The best mobile controller for your phone! War Zone on the go is the best!

If you have a spare phone or just want to use yours for gaming. This is a great piece of kit to do it. I stream Steam games to my phone and play them. Also great for emulators on android. Pass through charging is the best feature l.

Great way to maximize gaming experience on my S23 Ultra. No lag like thos $20 wifi versions as this is a direct connection with a USB-C connector right into the phone. Yes, there is an apple version.

Turns my s23 ultra into basically a universal switch. Highly recommend for gamers on the go! You do have to remove the case which is a drawback but it puts my ps5, xbox, or computer games on my phone.

The position of the right thumb stick will make your thumb rather sore. The controller disconnects from your phone a lot for no reason at all. For the price it's not as good as you would expect. You would think it would be better quality than an Xbox controller but it's no where near.
