    Poor quality and bad customer service.

    I cannot recommend this product. The controller malfunctioned after only 9 months of casual use (2-3 days per week for less than 1 hour at a time). I can no longer use the most of the buttons on the left side of the controller. I have attempted to reset the controller through the backbone app but they continue to be nonfunctional. I purchased the controller in December of 2023 and it malfunctioned in August of 2024. I reached out to back bone customer service in early September. They finally responded back in November. They will not replace the controller without a receipt.

    Tedious Requirements to Use

    Requires removing cell phone case every time. Does not hold my Iphone 13 Pro Max well at all (Camera Hits). Once the PS Portal came out for $100 more this item became 5x overpriced in my opinion.

    Really wanted this to be better than it was. The membership being required to o use all the features is ridiculous. This was returned after a few days.
