    Haven't had a lot of time to get the setting right for sensitivity. Over all a good controller for phones. Iv had problems with it hooking up as an xbox layout on pubg. Even tho the button layout of the controller is xbox. Not sure why that is. Options are Playstation netendo and some 1234 button lable. Its kinda disappointing but i still play.

    Weird GamePlay

    Product is amazing but after a month after using the controller. The analog stick is drifting down while I’m playing. It’s very hard to play any games with I sent on Backbone a complaint saying if they can resolve the issue. I went to Best Buy to see if they can help me out they’re saying that they can’t do an exchange or anything for me so I can play the game, but I’m here struggling still waiting for Backbone to hear a response if I can exchange it for a warranty but just really overall it’s three stars. It’s not really that good after a month.

    I originally loved this product. However after several uses it started having issues with buttons not working. After researching the problem it is a known issue with this product. For the cost it shouldn't have this kind of problem.
