Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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

Definite upgrade. Bigger thumb analago sticks and back buttons with bigger handles. Battery life is amazing, and this is a beast.

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

This is a great controller and very responsive and comfortable. Way better then the originals.

I'm sure it's a great device but from the first time I plugged it into my phone it just didn't feel right. I played with all the different attachments and unless I take my case of which is pretty slim it wouldn't plug into the USB. Ended up returning and just buying a controller to use on my phone. Would I recommend it? Probably if I know it'll fit perfect with your phone.

This controller is great, but the price is way too high, and it isn't compatible with thicker cases due to the USB-C connecter being a bit on the short side. If you have a slim case, it's great. The only other caveat is that they force you to sign up for their paid subscription service before you can use it. Free trial for 7 days, but a $40 charge if you forget to cancel.

I upgareded to from the normal version and this is a lot better for shooting games I like how u can edited trigger,joystick deadzones n the back buttons it’s kina not super comfortable tryna hit the back buttons it feels okay but for me streaming quality wasn’t that good but I suggest just connecting ur ps5/xbox controller to ur phone instead

Works fantastic with PS5 Remote play! However, I did buy the Pro thinking I'd be able to use it as a bluetooth controller while remote-playing from a laptop. PS5 Remote play does not support this controller on a laptop, only on your phone. Knowing this, I would have bought the cheaper Playstation edition.

The quality is comfortable with easy programming. BT is fast easy to set up. Also a nice controller to use alone with pc. Only dislikes is to get the most out of the software the user needs several different monthly subscriptions.

I saw this little guy while browsing the sales and decided to give it a try. It can be a little bit tricky to set up, at least for me, but once it is setup its great. Its just an extra controller than can literally work with anything like phone, pc, or switch.

I love backbone controllers. Have been using for years. The backbone pro is great. I enjoy the blue tooth to play on other screens and ofcourse the usb c connector. Highly recommend

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

I literally haven’t played on my TV since i purchased, with access to cloud gaming and remote play it makes it so easy to play games wherever you are. it’s lightweight but not so light that it feels cheap. The usb pass through for charging is amazing and I can game for hours (provided my WiFi connection allows it)

Absolutely happy with the purchase. Glad I went with the Xbox version. Ps versions have to be on the same internet. CANNOT PLAY AWAY FROM HOME OR SYSTEM. Xbox is 100 percentage remote anywhere gaming. Input lag on some games not all

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

Works as intended, havent got an issue with it, but there is no case for it unfortunately, also mobile games compatible with controller are only a few

It’s awesome and worth the price. I got no problem with it besides the subscription for more benefits of the backbone pro app.
