    I’ve had this for a couple of months now and it’s great for on the go gaming, especially for road trips. I will say the best value you can get out of this is if you have the Xbox game pass ultimate, otherwise you need to use the PS remote play which kind of defeats the point if you need to be connected to your PlayStation. Great if you don’t have a console especially since the game pass is less than $20.

    Great product, but needs some minor improvements. The buttons stick after heavy use. And there's no way to fix it because backbone doesn't want anyone to fix them. They don't sell any parts and or have any kind of repair for them.

    My favorite iPhone controller so far

    The size, grip, and response is very good. I’ve used it for dead cells+, ps5 remote play, and currently gta san andreas that netflix recently released. Handled everything like a champ. Don’t need to sign up for the subscription backbone provides; its plug and play. Previously owned a kishi controller I seldom used with my iPhone due to having to remove my case. This one (Gen 2) works with a case on which was the main selling point for me.
