“Honestly at $100 dollars I feel like I got ripped off. For that price, I could have bought a real PS5 Dualsense or invested it in Dualsense Edge Controller. First off the build quality is not the best compared to the Razor Kishi V2. This does not have mechanical buttons in the Face Buttons or D-Pad nor does it use membrane buttons like the Official PlayStation Dualsense does (it uses clicky loud annoying dome buttons for the Face Buttons and I think the D-Pad as well?). Also, it lacks extra mappable buttons that the Razer Keshi V2 has that are near the Trigger Buttons. The Backbone Controller uses Nintendo Switch Style Analog Sticks that do not have hall effect sensors in it, this means that over time you can develop stick drift thus making this not function the way it would fresh out of the box. To add insult to injury you don't get a official carrying case for a $100 dollar controller, besides the fact they cheaped out on a lot of the internals, a $15 dollar case would of made the sting of the cheap internals hurt less, besides the fact they don't even offer an official one (at the time of this review). This does have a pass threw power port which is nice but the USB-C port cant be used for anything else but power ( I wanted to try hooking my phone threw a USB-C hub with ethernet so I can try and reduce some latency for remote play but now that whole project is out the window). The inclusion of a 3.5mm Headphone Jack is the only thing going for this controller over the Razer Kishi. Also this is the only USB-C cell phone controller that can be used with PS4/PS5 Remote Play which is great if you have a router/internet that can handle it. This controller has half baked written all over it, when I was playing Call of Duty Mobile on it both my L2/R2 Trigger buttons got stuck when playing a match (not sure if it was the controller or the game glitched?) For $100 bucks I want the best of the best components in this controller, this feels like a $40 dollar piece of junk with a bunch of Frakenstein left over parts stuck together to make it seem new and modern...don't be fooled !!!!! Cool concept on the controller but for those on the fence, better to wait till they get their act together and fix all these flaws on a $100 dollar controller with bargain bin parts !!!! Maybe when they make the Backbone Version 2.0 it will be worth the price of entry, until then buyer beware.”

“Perfectly working for PS remote play. Sadly there are still Android games that don't support controllers without overlays. Would still recommend it. :D”

“I would give this product a more favorable review, but phones are getting really big and this does not hold my S23 Ultra properly, even without a case. The backbone otherwise felt pretty good.”
