Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this thing. Fits my Galaxy s22 ultra easily & makes gaming on it fun! Highly recommend. The subscription service for it is not needed or required.

Works great, but wish I didn't need to PlayStation version to quick launch PlayStation remote play easily.

Super cool and convenient to carry around to play. Adapts to phone easily.

I wish this came with the carry case ($25 extra) but I can’t deny this product is well made. Buttons are premium with a nice tactile feel, joysticks work well but it only fit my official Apple case and not my thicker Pelican one. Highly recommend for game streaming and emulation!

Connects well with my phone and allows me to play games I wouldn't want to without a controller.

Gets the job done about as well as can be expected, not super portable unless you carry a backpack or purse with you. But great for sitting on couch or laying in bed. Feels like switch/ps5 controller

This is one of my favorite gadgets. I work an odd schedule, and being able to game during downtime is perfect. I pretty much rake it everywhere. The website for the company has a list of cell phone cases you can get that are compatible with it, so you don't hace to take your case off to use it.

Great item for my son. I wish the free gift was also for playstation as he doesn't have an Xbox, so we didn't get to use it.

I bought this as a birthday gift for my husband and he was so thrilled to try it out and he loved it! He is self employed and loves taking it to work when he has down time or even in the car while I am taking the kids into doctor appointments. It really is a neat thing to buy!

If you have kids and often times you’re kicked off the tv for their entertainment, this is fantastic. Much to my surprise, it use this even more than I had intended on doing so. The grips themselves are comfortable. I’ve gone a solid 3 hours without any issues or fatigue. The buttons feel great. The sticks are about on par with a Nintendo switch joy con, which I think is good. There is only one thing I don’t like that I find is rather annoying sometimes. The lack of PS button without having to manually tap on the screen to bring up the sub menu in the PS Remote play up. Which then ties into the touchpad functionality being flawed with having to tap on the screen multiple times to get it to pop up. The gestures for me as well in reference to the touch pad have been difficult. Lastly because I feel like it’s sometimes at the back of your mind when purchasing something like this… if you have subpar network speeds at your home, your experience is going to be awful. Keep that in mind. If you don’t have the bare minimum network speeds recommended I would suggest passing on it. One last plus thing.. while originally I had intended on purchasing the PlayStation portal, I settled into this because of the cost and the fact that the portal is seldomly in stock. I’m very happy with my decision.

I've been wanting to get a backbone for a while and found it on sale, I'm very happy with my purchase.

My son love it and he carries it with him. Loves Alĺ the game he can play and watch movies.

I really liked how easy it was to set up! It is literally plug and play. All you have to do is put your phone in, and any games that have controller support immediately work with a layout that feels natural. The backbone app is incredibly useful as well! It’s exceptionally good at easily putting all your games in one place.

Works great on iphone 15, with a case by Dbrand I simply didnt use any of the controller’s adapters. Had to remove the ones on it. Works on all the games I’ve tried it on. Only issue I’m running into is when you try to charge and use it at the same time sometimes itll disconnect… might be the power source I’m using.

This works really well with new gen phones, the game library is incredible. I love my backbone, i recommend it to most people who play mobile phone games

I gifted this to my husband and he loves it, he took it in a 14 hour flight and made his trip easier, compact and easy to carry

Great for a dad that wants has to drive family around and wants to play his games while waiting. With so much things to do and not enough time to sit in front of your console this helps to have quality you time even on the go.

Product used to work great. Bought it last April(2024) and played it and loved it for about 2 months Until I got my Nintendo Switch. I recently gave my Switch to my youngest and picked my Backbone controller back up. I bought my Backbone controller on April 17, 2024. Yesterday the audio on my Samsung S24 Ultra kept switching off when I was trying to play Call of Duty. I tried to turn up the volume and noticed my phone had switched to Bluetooth. This was something plugging in the controller triggered. Even when I turned off my phone’s Bluetooth the controller’s glitching would still switch the audio output to Bluetooth. I even unpaired all my Bluetooth connected devices so it would have nothing to pair to. I thought this would prevent it from switching from the phone’s audio. It didn’t help and it still caused the same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Backbone app several times today and not only do I still have the audio issues but now my phone is registering the controller as having several buttons pressed even when no buttons are pressed and this starts immediately anytime I connect the Backbone controller.

I work a bunch and i take it with me for the downtime. It is slightly on the smaller side so having big hands makes it a bit harder to play your favorites. No furled finger gameplay with this. That being said it is the cheaper of its competitors so that put it over for me.

Love it only thing I don't like is the subscription
