BACKBONE One Mobile Gaming Controller for iPhone (Lightning) – 2nd Gen – Turn Your iPhone into a Gaming Console – Play Xbox, PlayStation, PC, & App Games (3 Months Apple Arcade Included)

This thing is super duper awesome
The Backbone is nearly perfect for what it’s designed to do. The controller is comfy, lightweight and the buttons/analogs feel snappy and responsive. It attaches and detaches to the iPhone simply and quickly, and immediately goes to work once attached. I gave this five stars because I am loving it and having a blast, but there are actually a few (very minor) drawbacks:1. Even with the adapters that come with the Backbone, I have to take my phone out of its case. I’m even using a low-profile Spigen hard case, and the lightning plug just won’t reach all the way with the case on. Not a huge setback but a little disappointing.2. The “Start” and “Select” buttons (ellipsis and stacked lines) are accompanied by an orange system button and a screenshot button on the right and left sides, respectively. If you’re doing Xbox Remote Play and you try to pause a game or bring up a menu in-game, you’re very likely to hit one of the Backbone buttons (orange or screenshot), which immediately kicks you over to the Backbone app and ends your Remote Play session. I accidentally do this about half the time. It’s REALLY annoying. As I get used to the Backbone I am doing this less, so it’s really a personal preference thing, but still. I kill my Remote session constantly and have to reconnect while I’m in the heart of the action playing a game. You might be able to re-map these buttons but I haven’t gotten that far yet.Overall, I love the product and recommend it. Worth the money and very very fun!

Very solid buy for the value – Makes taking the bus to the city or a long drive a lot more fun
I’ve been looking at this thing for the last year contemplating if I should even get it because I have remote play just use my phone or tablet whatever I saw was on sale for like 70 bucks prime day, I have to say it’s very interesting It has better connection from what I see from the regular remote play and it gives you about three different kinds of perks month free Backbone service which gives you all free games from like Xbox and sPc ( So having a PS five, this is pretty cool because I’ve never had something like this Or I can go and choose) But I have to say playing ghost of Tsushima -Mortal Kombat one devil may cry five- Resident evil 23 and four- it looks absolutely amazing Don’t get me wrong you’ll still have some lag here in there, but for the most part, it should be clean sailing when it comes to traveling and keeping up to date with ur PlayStation 5 along with all this stuff, this will hold me over until the next PlayStation Vida, which I heard a rumor may come out with PlayStation five Pro and will be able to be compatible with the pro and PlayStation six, so that should be really cool if it acts like the Wii (Nintendo ) That was so far I was thinking about getting the portal, ( I really wanted that to be the next Vita ) but a backbone is half the price and it’s not made cheap it feels good ( And if you have an iPhone 15 or an iPhone 15 Pro, you’re going to be playing at a better resolution than the PlayStation portal anyway. Only thing I would say that I dislike is the fact the two joysticks are not exactly lined up the way they are on a regular PlayStation -4/five remote – The haptic feedback is awesome. The fact you can take pictures of your game and record it and keep it on your phone instead of having to go into an app pretty cool. I would honestly say I’d give this a 4.6out of five. With my only dislikes being the analog sticks And if you’re playing certain fighting games, you better have a good connection PlayStation five with an Ethernet cable ( And try to get smaller than 25 feet long something to do with drop in speed ) when I’m at work when I’m on my break after I eat, I play for a half hour when I’m home. I’ll sit by the pool and play. It makes it a lot easier to enjoy and other good games through Backbone during the summer without missing anything, as easily as you shut it down turn it off you could fire it right back up. And continue where you left off So many PROs & very little Cons Hope this was helpful -future buyers

My son loves it because he can play almost every game on there app like roblox it gas been a month that we bought it it came on time and it work well and is in good shape

No pensé que fuera una buena compra pero la verdad termino siendo lo mejor, en el trabajo ya todos jugamos a la hora de comida y con mis primos cuando hacemos reuniones familiares. Lo único malo es que necesito quitarle el case a mi iPhone para que funcione.
