“Best purchase you can make.”

“I would have given 5 stars, but the only setback for me is using this with the iPhone 13 pro. The adapter was a good solution but the device is set in slightly crooked which is only aesthetically displeasing. As far as feel and functionality, this controller came full of surprises. Feels great in my hands (comparable to a more ergo switch controller) and the quality is competition worthy. I wish it extended a bit further so I could set my ipad mini in it but maybe that would be a nice upgrade in the future. Bottom line is that this thing is awesome. I would highly recommend!”

“The product is amazing!!! They do happen to malfunctions after about 3-4 months of use but customers is very good with helping and getting out your replacements. I’ve had 3 and they have been outstanding every time. Even if they wouldn’t send a replacement. I’d buy 100 times over!!! Great job guys.”

“The quality and how easy the controller was to use is amazing. The only downside to the product is the app has a hidden subscription service that it never disclose until you install the app. Granted you are still able to use the controller without the app subscription.”

“I like backbone but I have 2 criticisms, I wish I could use cloud play for stadia and Xbox through the app instead of having to open the separate respective app for both, also I wish the right thumb stick was above the buttons as that’s how Xbox controllers are and it feels more comfortable that way”

“The controller is very well-built, and high quality. I love the simplicity of not having to charge it, and being able to charge my phone while I’m playing. The only thing I will say is that I wish the buttons were a little less clicky.”

“I like the controller. If I was reviewing the controller in and of itself: 5/5. It has missed some inputs here and there, but mostly this is when the iOS seems to be working hard, or a low battery situation, or a combination of the two, so I can't quite fault the controller when it's the phone itself having issues. This is a bit of a meta-review, looking at what it takes to use the backbone. I don't know if it's fair to dock a star since the issue is that I have to remove my phone from its case to use the backbone, and only maniacs are walking around with a 1000$ phone sans case. So literally any gaming controller thing is going to have the challenge of attaching to a wide variety of different cases. However, it is still annoying. I am concerned with the long-term ramifications of flexing my case off and on my phone 100s of times per year - the plastic is going to wear out sooner. The adapter works great for the 13 pro, but there's no easy way to store it in the provided backbone box. The backbone fits snugly in the cutouts WITHOUT the adapter in place, with the adapter attached it won't fit. But then the adapter is just loose wriggling around in the box. I'll probably use an Exacto knife/scissor to widen the hole on the L part of the backbone so that it can fit without having to remove the adapter just for QoL. I mean overall I'm nitpicking here, these are minor QoL issues, overall I'm really happy with the purchase and it provides a better and more ergonomic way to enjoy mobile games on my phone. I'm not much of a mobile gamer, but I've been in a bit of a "no desire to play anything" rut and diablo immortal, a new mobile game, has scratched my gaming itch and I've probably logged 100s of hours already - the backbone has made that experience a lot more enjoyable.”

“This controller is AMAZING. I’m still shocked by how intuitive & smooth the gaming & controller is. I stopped playing on my PS5 & have been playing on my phone instead.”

“Its really nice, the only complaint I have is that you have to lunch Diablo Immortal first connect controller, disconnect, then connect again for it to work.”

“Functionally - the Backbone is everything it says it is. The controller is built well, fits the phone perfectly, and no real configuration is needed. It really is just plug and play. The companion app could use a little bit of work; it's an ambitious effort to cram as much value into a single app as possible, but there are a few tiny idiosyncrasies that keep it from being a killer.”
