This thing changes gaming on the go, I would absolutely recommend it.

I carry it with me everwhere i go. Love playing PS Remote play games on it on the go. Love the fact that you can connect the power cable while playing and it even has a headphone jack! 10/10 would recommend for gamers.

Awesome, just the buttons wish the black control had the playstation buttons instead of the xbox ones. But great product.

Little small for my hands so I recommend the other one its more comfortable to play

This works well with my s25 ultra. It is hit or miss on when it works with my slim samsung case, but i have no issues using caseless. controls are similar to anyxbox or ps5 controler. using it to play cod mobile is awesome. definitely wish i had bought a lot sooner.

Great accessory for my phone. Links directly to my ps5 so I can play remotely from anywhere as long as there is service or wifi. Would recommend for any person who wants to play their system on the go.

Easy to use on the go especially when traveling. Small and compact. Using it more than I thought I would.

Works perfectly on iPhone 15 pro, I use it to play on GamePass it is very comfortable and you can charge your device while playing. Also work fine with CoD Mobile, RE8 and RE4 for iOS. It works with case installed

Great product, shipping was fast, item arrived with no issues, my wife is able to remote play her playstation, steam, and play her phone games with it, buttons feel nice and it fits her new phone very snug.

Excellent usage and buttons that respond to the touch along with handles that don't slip

This was a gift for our grandson. He loves it, it allows him to play his Playstation games remotely when he isn’t home. He already has the Nintendo switch, and he says this is a great addition to his gaming setups.

Overall, the Backbone is great for gaming on the go. It's hard to find time to play games at home with a tight schedule, so being able to play within my commute is great. Although, one complaint I do have which I am currently looking into are the thumbsticks. I do not recommend using the Backbone for FPS games or any game that heavily relies on accurate aim. Playing around with deadzones within games has provided some fix, but definitely would not recommend in that regard. It seems very similar to the Switch's thumbsticks, but ideally, the Backbone should go for more of an Xbox/Playstation feel. If later additions do so, easily 10/10 product.

This is my 3rd Backbone and you most assuredly will need the warranty. The unit itself works good but the trigger buttons do wear out after some time. That has been the same issue with the other units, so hopefully these newer units last longer.

Needed you have a strong wifi. Haven't been able to play my ps5 but connected to a friend xbox and the experience was great.

Man I like best buy the controller is working soo well I want to buy another one oh and the sale it makes it a great combo

This is a great device for what it is. We went with this over the PSP because of the ability to use it without Wi-Fi. This can be used over phone data making it more convenient than having to remember to connect to a hotspot. My son did state that the only "downfall" was needing to make sure he remotely turned on the actual PS5 to play his games remotely through this.

I was able to use my iphone 15 pro max with this with no issues. I even was able to keep the case on my phone. I have the apple clear case that released at launch of thr iphone 15. I used both cloud gaming and remote play and I had a great time playing elden ring. No comfort issues wkrh controller grip. Only giving this 4 star tboigh becuse rhe backbone software is not worth the yearly cost considering what it does. Its nice to have all your games in one place and also benefit from voice chat within the backbone platform but for me, i have not friends on backbone.

Love it! Gives me the experience of being at home on my game system while out and about..

I personally believe this is a very good device. It is good to use while on the go. It isn’t as big as a rog alley or a steam deck so it makes portable gaming very nice and it comes with gamepass for a month for free.

[Employee of bestbuy] Feels sturdy in the hands, works seamlessly, you don’t need to use the app at all. May be a bit small for those with larger hands, but it’s working out perfectly for myself.
