Customer Ratings & Reviews

Controller has a good feel, easy to set up. The response of the control is fast and smooth. Comes with a couple adapters for different phones sizes and cases which is cool. There is a subscription to have all the featues with the backbone app. (You get a one month free) but isnt needed to enjoy playing or straming games.

I had to buy this new version for my son because the previous one wasn’t compatible to his iPhone 15 (that was the downside) I got him the first one for Christmas and he loved it! Didn’t/doesn’t have to haul his play consoles along every time we go out of town. This does the job even during the ride. I did good lol

Great controller. Fits with a ton of different cases, better trigger buttons than the V1.

Worth every penny. This backbone was a gift and it gets used EVERYDAY, I had to purchase a case and bumpers for the toggels. The accessories were super cool (and purchased separately). This backbone is litterally a PSP but cheaper and you use your phone. I would recommend getting a warranty because the analong sticks and triggers started to stick and that is common with backbones.

Normally I would use a clip with a Xbox controller but this gives it more of a Switch or handheld PC feel. I've used it both with an iPhone and an Android and it works seamlessly on both.

Pros on IPhone 16: Light, quality build with buttons and joysticks that function very responsively. Easy to play RPGs, maybe some difficulty with action games but mostly because of playing on a smaller phone screen. It fits with variety of phone cases (but not all). Can use WiFi or your phones data plan to remote play. Cons: might have to take your case off to fit it but it’s expandable to a point. Have to learn the buttons because some will send you out of the app to the Home Screen mid play. It needs a touch screen function button to assist because on PS remote play you have to press the screen and it gets wonky.

Convenient and easy to use device that can be traveled with. I enjoy using it when I need to be away from home for hours or days. Comfortable hand-held and audio is suffice.

Awesome product. Comfortable in hands. Makes certain games a lot better on the phone.

The backbone has been a grate addition to my console collection, its allowed me to play my games and do my daily's on the go and whenever i need to, i would recommend

Buttons and sticks are responsive, feels like an actual DualSense. A direct upgrade from my Razer Kishi. Customizable cushioning allows use of a case. (Tip: use the thicker cushion for the left side of the device for the Galaxy Z Flip series, the magnets that holds the cushions together confuses the ones in the device, making thexphone think its closed.)

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.

Whether playing mobile games or using with Playstation connect, this device is awesome! Buttons have great action and inlove the pass through charging from the side of the controller. Amazing for gaming on long flights. Cant recommend enough.

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.

Fist i love it it could play my favorite games but 40 bucks a month or a year why.

I tried out the Backbone and Gamersir G8 Plus for my mobile gaming needs. The Backbone is great for mobile gaming. It is small and light compared to the Gamersir G8 Plus. The big plus is passthrough charging. The controls feel like switch controllers, which may be a downside for some. It is only compatible with certain cases for the iPhone 16 Pro Max. In the end, I picked the Gamesir G8 Plus. Despite giving up the passthrough charging, I preferred the feel of an actual controller. Also, I have a bulky case and did not want to switch and/or take my case off every time I wanted to use a controller. The Backbone is great for those who: -Want a small and light controller -Have a compatible case -Want passthrough charging

It is comfortable and easy to use but it broke too easy seems to be a normal issue where something inside breaks and one half of the controller is unusable

This item works with phone cases and large phones it also has more functionality than any controller that can go on phones on the market it also has a premium build quality and sturdy construction also great button feel and great stick control perfect for on-the-go gaming and emulation as well it's my daily go-to mobile gaming setup.

This thing is awesome. I’m able to play my PS five on the go anywhere I’m at as long as I have a Wi-Fi or cellular connection. Just gotta leave it in standby mode play this thing all the time the buttons aren’t the best but it’s better than not playing. It’s hard to play first person shooter, but it’s great to play sports games Not saying that you you can’t play first person shooter but it’s just tough maybe better for younger people I was able to get this for $75 on sale in store. Not sure the price now but definitely would buy again tried to link it to my Xbox, but I believe you need a separate version of the control would definitely buy again

This controller is so intuitive has pre mapped settings for Triple A FPS titles like fortnite and call of duty the pass through charging is a great feature so you charge and play at the same time. The added adapters ensure secure fit with most smartphone . 5 star would definitely recommend

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