It’s become my favorite controller for on the go gaming.

Bought this for my husband for our travel adventures! He loves it. Great purchase for any gamer on the go!

This thing is pretty cool, the concept is awesome, however, I couldn't find many games that it worked with it (that were good or at least cheap/free). I think I also unknowingly messed up by getting this black one instead of the white Playstation version, because it has issues when it comes to playing remotely from my PS4. Going to see if they let me trade it in and hope the other one is better. The adapters definitely seem like a great add-on too by the way, just a little difficult to change them due to strong magnets.

The 2nd generation is quite a bit better than the first generation. The main benefit is your phone will fit with a very slim case. That is convenient if you don't have a case that slides on and off very easy.

Awesome perfect on the go controller. Can play all games holding it feels like a Nintendo switch

I have no complaints. The product was great. Good job Best Buy.

This back bone is literally the best ! You can connect it to a iPhone 15 or android phone and it has so many games so of course you won’t be bored with this at all! I may purchase another one

It works rly well i like how it’s supported in most games and it doesn’t drain to much battery. great job.

Excellent little handheld, remote play works pretty seamlessly with it and I honestly can't complain about the experience at all. Way better alternative to spending $200 on the Portal.

I bought the Backbone when it was first released, and after a few years it sadly broke. I orginally replaced it with a Razer Kishi (Gen1 & Gen2). When I upgraded to a phone with USB-C it was time to upgrade my controller too. I went with the Backbone on a whim and I have no regrets. The App, the ergonomics of the grip, and the sturdy feeling of the phone inside the controller are all way better than either of the Kishi. The only thing keeping me from the backbone orignally was the phone being held at an angle in the original design to account for the camera bump, but this new design fixes that and is 100x better.

My daughter absolutely loved this. Can’t be thankful enough to the Best Buy staff helping this momma with this informative purchase

I love it . It keeps me wanting to play games just enough I like the way it’s easy to use and connect to other platforms on the app once you plug the phone right in the usb connection .

Very good on the go portable device , only slight problem is joysticks very small & loose for adult thumbs , that involve shooting games

Works great with Google Play games and if you have a wired ethernet connection for your PS5, the remote play will work pretty well. Got this when it was $70 dollars.

Use this to pass the time when traveling. Was able to play the games i wanted to no problems.

Product is excellent! Good quality easy to use and it’s lots of fun. Strongly reccomend

It has gradually improved my phone gaming experience

I would love to give this bad boy 5 stars but there a few things stopping me. First off you have to pay for a monthly subscription to their backbone plus membership in order to utilize a lot of the features. The only one I care about is the ability to map certain buttons to certain presses on the screen. I.e. some games don't have controller capabilities, so instead it makes the game think you're tapping the screen when you press a button. Razer kishi doesn't put that option behind a paywall. 2nd of all is that after a while the ribbon that expands and retracts gets messed up and it basically turns your controller into a paperweight. Usually effecting the left side joystick and d-pad. I've had mine for about 6 months but now it's time to throw it away.... so I guess it's really up to you. Is the price worth the amount of time you get with it? Since Razer Kishi and backbone have the same issue my next purchase will probably be a different brand or razer Kishi. Very disappointed

Great accessory for mobile gaming. This made those long flights more enjoyable and easy to pass the time

Works well and makes everything easy. Would recommend to any one
