    Good but not great

    Depending on what you use the backbone for, it could be a great mobile gaming device. Remote play was the main reason i made the purchase (try to get a playstation portal). If you have good internet it works with no problems. I would not recommend playing fps games. Not a lot of thumb area to work with. Aiming is bad. Rpgs are a little better. The compatible mobile games work great with the backbone. For kids going on vacation or even distractions at an event. The backbone is for you. For adults, dont expect to be blown away by anything playing with the backbone. Not for major gaming in my opinion. Good option when sharing the TV.

    This controller is amazing! Compatible with tons of games on Google Play. Works fantastic with emulators as well. Look forward to getting a PS5 and using the remote play function. Backbone app is pretty decent. Feels very comfortable in the hands.

    Easy set up. Backbone App makes it easy to connect to your Xbox/Playstation. Controller feels good. Connected this to my Z Fold and I had a portable Xbox/Playstation with me. Just plug it in and as long as you have a Mobile Data or Wifi connection you can play anywhere

    What I didn’t like for the Xbox cloud gaming it’s all online so if you’re not on Wi-Fi good luck the product itself is amazing. It’s just the fact that you have to be on Wi-Fi to play the Xbox cloud gaming games or else it kinda lags so that was whack.

    It's nice and neat and somewhat easy to use had to get used to where the joycon was.Good for offline/story mode games, not so good for online games. And it's good for where you're bored and you're not at home.

    This device was very easy to use. It came assembled right out of the box. I downloaded an app from the app store and everything else was up to me. There was a great selection of games to choose from and help you figure out which games work best with Backbone.

    This little device has changed my gaming experience. I have been able to connect to my PS4 with a nice setup when home and away. I have grown to love other mobile games because now the ability to play them has been made a lot easier. When I travel this a true must have.

    Most games that we like to play ate not compatible with the play station back bone. The scuf back bone is easy better and more compatible with all games and the app was free. This one you need a membership or you watch ads constantly. Also does not have ts own batteries and the phone stains quickly so needs constant charged
