“Almost perfect. This is a high-quality controller which is made even better thanks to the Backbone app. It has a nice feel to it, and most—if not all—of the buttons you expect are there. I prefer it to most controllers out there, so to have it on a phone is just amazing. That said, the iPhone 13 Pro is almost at the end of its initial production cycle, and Backbone only fits using an adapter. It's disappointing the controller itself isn't designed to fit the iPhone 13 Pro (especially since it's a $100 controller). The adapter also causes the phone to sit at an angle. It doesn't look good. It was a good solution for the controller at the time, but it really needs to be updated to fit the most current phones when they come out. Apple makes case specs available to manufacturers ahead of time to give them time to adapt their products.”

“It’s a great controller and app, the only problem I would have are the grips, they’re a bit small but still comfortable, and the right joystick is a tad too low, but not so low as to it starts hurting after a minute. Other than that it’s a great mobile controller!”

“Great for remote play and a wonderful controller I mostly use it for remote ply for my ps5 and the only thing is that some of the buttons r different from game to game and you can’t change them like the L3 and R3 click in on it is set to like the r2 and L2 inside of it being like the click the analogs in but overall it’s a great buy!”

“The only thing I’d like to see is a small spring under the connecting pins so I don’t have to take my phone case off each time I want to use the game pad. Other than that it’s literal perfection.”

“This thing is awesome. Seem less and super easy to install. The only itty bitty annoyance is the backbone button right next to the menu button, I hit it and exit my game often. You guys rock!! Thank you!”

“If only I was interested in making clips and videos you guys would understand. This controller is the everything and more. Better than any wireless remote controller that you have to connect to your phone with Wi-Fi. Connects right to my phone and mobility is perfect”

“Recently have been using my iPhone as my main source of playing PS and XBox. Was on the fence for a while, but so glad I went the route and got this. It works with the phone similarly like a switch fits to my hands, excellent match up. If I could give a decimal I would, for a 4.9. My only take back is the right joystick feels like it has a slightly larger dead zone or too high sensitivity. Barely noticeable on most games but I feel it on FPS games like Halo. Wouldn’t trade it. Great product. Worth the investment!”

“The process of trying to get a replacement due to warranty and the backbone being bought as a gift was a huge runaround and I hope that in the future, this process is more streamlined.”

“Pros In short an awesome controller with a brilliant accompanying app. Cons Build quality it’s lacking and could be more durable. Better quality materials and parts could be used. Would expect better quality for the price compared to competitors.”

“It takes too long to set up Backbone and Xbox apps that incur additional un-needed costs. Also, there is no sound coming out of controller. Backbone mutes sound from cell phone once Backbone controller is hooked up to the phone.”

“It’s amazing! I was questioning the price at first but after using it for awhile it’s worth it. And the triggers are a little sensitive but overall still worth it for me.”
