Customer Ratings & Reviews

Just a seamless experience and perfect for Destiny Rising. Wish it came with a case though. You also need to pay for a subscription through backbone if you want more features and their own games but it’s not required. Really good app though, no complaints there. The only thing I wish it either came with or had some kind of way to implement is a fan cooler. I own two now and can’t use them while it is attached due to how the back of the phone is blocked by the part that expands. Not sure if it is possible, but just some feedback as people who use these are definitely playing titles that will thermal throttle your performance.

It’s a great device. The only issue is that it’s hard to check on battery if not in the app. Other than that, it’s really smooth and works well with both my iPhone 17 pro max and my zfold 7 Call of duty mobile works awesome

A bit bulkier than I expected but works well. Would be nice if it accommodated more cases.

Works great. Great button response feels like an actual gaming controller

Love the new upgraded version of the controller. The thicker grips, added bluetooth capability to game on any compatible device, and back button on the controller. This is by far my new favorite controller and i own the Ninbus+, turtle beach atom, original backbone, and amazon control. This one is by far the best.

Backbone pro is amazing, better ergonomics, triggers are more solid for triple A shooting games. Definitely recommend going with this version over the original, however its an expensive item. I would also recommend getting this one when its on sale ive seen it as cheap as $134.99 so thats when i would pick it up and not at full retail

I love this thing! I bought it because I like gaming, but I don't always want to be hogging up the TV. Great for on the go retro gaming, modern gaming, and streamed games. It's nice to be able to play my beloved games like Fallout3 and fallout new vegas without having to tied down to a pc. It works well with apps like Delta/Quad/Alpha touch. Retro arch/ Where Winds Meet ect ect. It also has a feature to customize settings/controls for those games that do not support game pads so that's nice plus! The build and quality are fantastic. It feels great i. The hands and doesnt add too much weight.

This is the best version of the backbone to date. I had the backbone one version two with USB-C for iPhone 15 Pro max and up and it was cool. The handle was smaller but this version of the controller is great. I have also had the razer kishi ultra and i like this one more. This controller is super responsive. I just wish that you could listen to music through the USB-C port when you are not charging.

Overall the product is good and works as expected, the disappointment is it is designed to be used WITHOUT a phone case, unless you have only a generic slim case. So for that reason we decided not to keep it.

This is fantastic, I can't put it down! Fits my 17 pro Max iPhone just fine

I have a Z-Fold7 and absolutely love this controller on the go. Its pretty seamless overall, keeps a good charge, and well worth the money spent.

Good controller overall, but was disappointed to find out PS Remote Play is not integrated in the software. Theres only one backbone that has it and its not the pro. There is a separate app for about 7 dolllars you can buy that works great to play playstation remotely. The controller works great with it. All xbox and computer game integration into the platform is seemless and beautiful. I have never tried another contoller, so i cant say if this is a good value. There may be a better value under $100 that works for everything as well, i just dont know if the other apps have an integrated platform like backbone does. If they dont, then that does quantify a bit of a price difference, but i dont know if its worth 100 extra over those options. Ill say i tentatively recommend this, but it may be worth it to research other options that may be more cost effective. The joysticks are also ser up top on the left and bottom on the right, so playstation users just be aware. Not a huge deal just somethinh to get used to The triggers for me (R1/R2,L1/L2) are too small and close togethet to be honest. Thats probably my biggest gripe. Other controllers may have larger ones that are more like other controllers with better spacing. The L1/R1s are very slim and rigjt up on the L2/R2 so its easy hit the wrong thing. The right stick is close to the bottom button as well so a little more disance would be nice.

Honestly, this was exactly what my son was hoping for and it works perfectly. The products is of a great standard and quality, and the people that we worked with at Best Buy were extremely friendly and knowledgeable and this is why we are consistent repeat customers.

Works exactly like it's supposed to. Fits and feels good.

Makes playing games on your phone bearable. Works great with playing retro games on emulators.

My son absolutely loves it. It works with our current Xbox games we own. Great for roadtrips!

Favorite part is the buttons are so much quieter and have such a better feeling in the hands

I really enjoyed it, it's easy to manage an the best part I'm able to play my games.if I had to recommend I would best decision ever

Amazing gaming attachment. My kids love it. They play on it daily.

Its very comfortable and a very nice controller for your phone. I just wished that it was also compatible with Tesla for gaming in the car. The Bluetooth unfortunately wont connect to the car. But if its just for your phone, its great. Pricy for sure.
