My daughter absolutely loved this. Can’t be thankful enough to the Best Buy staff helping this momma with this informative purchase

Works really well. Version 2 works with cases as well.

Its a good device i use it offten and its very covinent

When used with the PS Remote Play app, the Backbone One delivers low-latency gameplay, allowing you to stream and play PS5 or PS4 games on your mobile device. However, it’s worth noting that the controller lacks a dedicated touchpad, a feature present on the DualSense controller. This omission means that certain in-game functions requiring the touchpad must be accessed via the phone’s touchscreen, which can be less intuitive.

Amazing!!! Easy to use and ready as well. All you have to do is download the app and start using it

Great controller! I’m not a full time gamer, but this controller makes playing games on my iPhone so comfortable and makes playing games so easy. The controller has great ergonomics and with its adaptors, makes for easy installation on my phone even with a case on so I never have to take my case off to use it.

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.

I’m enjoying my backbone gaming device. I have my iPhone 14 working on it and the gameplay is great.

Only one gripe and that's that it doesn't work with the case on, though it claims it does, and no I do not use a bulky case. It might work with some, but not mine. Other than that, it works fine and as advertised.

Bought this so I didn't have to keep playing my games anywhere after sitting at the desk all day I prefer to be in my bed or couch. Might get tiring to hold after awhile but very responsive easy to connect like'd it better than controller clip.

I love this little device. It allows me to easily access my games that are available to stream on my phone or installed on ios. When others in the house are using the consoles I can just plug in my phone and play my games. It feels great in the hands and is very responsive.

This made playing old ps1 games on my phone a breeze. I love it.

I love the backbone! Don’t understand why I didn’t got one earlier.

amazing upgrade, especially with the iphone 15 selling points. i'm not sure what kind of games are out yet for the iphone specifically, but playing ps5 remotely has been a life changer for me at home. and using this as a controller for my mac games has been a nice change as well

This is a great accessory for playing games on the phone. I have the first gen version and it worked great until I upgraded my phone to a USB-C one. The 2nd gen is basically the same product, but it does have some extras (like adapters for different phones and cases), which makes it better than the previous gen. I still believe they could make it more universal, so it could work with more phone cases (so far, the compatible cases list is pretty short).

I’ve bought this this three times but I still love it. Specially certain buttons just die completely. Like my left two triggers. By downward D-pad and it constantly causes phone to screenshot. I would try the pro but I’d feel crazy paying that much.

Little tricky getting Steam to play nice but it is Steam's issue with the mismatched resolutions. That aside, this thing is great for handfuls of games that you don't want to use janky on screen controls for. FPS and driving sims especially.

It’s a good handheld gaming remote ! Being able to have the ability to just pull your phone out anywhere and play most of the games that are already on your console is pretty sweet ! Play anywhere anytime you like and you can add friends, send invites and battle all over

I couldn't get the new PS Portal. Yeah whatever. If you have any old huge phones laying around just get this. Its cheaper and the phone you are using to plug in has a better wifi connection, LED screen and processing power. Only downside is that your phone is most likely close to 7" instead of the portal 8" screen.

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.
