Very convenient gaming hardware. This controller will save this gaming industry. That’s from someone that haven’t played any games console for the past 7 years.

When I purchased my iPhone 15 pro max, I wanted something to jump into all the new games coming to it (resident evil) and it’s better than I expected! I love it!

This item is excellent! Chraper than the PS portal and way more versatile. Can do eveything the portal can do and more. Highly recommend if choosing between the two.

Solid but feels slightly cheap the plastic creeks, FYI, if you plan to use it with that iPad, make sure you activate the iPad option in the Backbone plus app before your free subscription ends or you’re locked out of using it with an iPad

Pass through works great and the gaming hub is cool however i have 2 major issues with this product. First, the grips are horrendous. Not ergonomic and painful on your hands after heavy usage. Second the right stick is poorly tuned to the point that it becomes easier to play the game without the controller (Call of Duty Mobile for example). Theres no precision and i hope they fix these issues with the next model.

Not great for xbox, PlayStation or steam mobile gaming. You need a subscription to backbone at $40/year to play xbox PlayStation or steam. You can play through the xbox gamepass app if you have it. It’s not even on the App Store anymore. For android or apple.
