Customer Ratings & Reviews

Husband loves it, would purchase again, and recommend

Now that I have it I can use it for when I am traveling

Great device, but need to get a bigger phone to have a nice size screen to play on

I love it and it easy to use you can play any game you want any where

Very great product, comes in handy and works for all games I recommend it !!!

PROS: - Easy to connect - Included adapter for iPhone 13 Pro Max - Small size, but very comfortable - Pass-through charging - Headphone jack - Free year of Backbone+ CONS: - Apple might switch iPhones to USB-C soon == SETUP == You will need to install the Backbone app on your iPhone. If you connect the Backbone One without it, you'll be prompted to go to the App Store to get it. You'll need to create an account if you don't already have one, but by buying the new PlayStation edition, you do get a free year of Backbone+ membership for free. I would connect your iPhone to the Lightning port first, then extend the other end of the Backbone to lock your phone in. If you have the new iPhone 13 Pro Max, there's an included adapter so your phone will fit. == USING THE BACKBONE APP == This is the easiest way to navigate through all your games and various game services when using the Backbone One. It automatically finds any games you already have on your phone, but will also include other game suggestions from every other game streaming service. The game search is really cool. You can either look for any game based on whatever genre you want, or you can just search for a specific game to see which service it's available on. You can get results for just about every popular service: Apple App Store, PlayStation Network, Xbox Game Pass, Stadia, Nvidia GeForce Now, Steam Link, and even Amazon Luna. You can also take in-game screenshots and video recordings from the app using the dedicated button under the left direction pad. All your saved images and video clips can be accessed and shared from within the Backbone app. == BUILD QUALITY == I have bigger hands and was initially worried about how long I could play before it became uncomfortable. Thankfully, the Backbone One found a nice sweet-spot of being small enough for portability, but not too small to become uncomfortable. The build quality feels amazing! It's very sturdy and doesn't bend or twist while your phone is connected. The buttons are very clicky, the triggers are nice and springy, and the thumb sticks (while small) feel really good. I don't know what the next couple years will bring, but hopefully I don't need to worry too much about stick drift. == PLAYSTATION EDITION == I've owned every PlayStation (except the PS5, thanks scalpers...) and even owned the original PSP. I missed out on the PS Vita, but was still bummed out to learn that Sony was giving up on handhelds. While we aren't going to see a new successor to the Vita, this version of the Backbone is as close as we're going to get! I love that with just a few minor adjustments to the original Backbone, we have this beauty. I love playing my PS games on my phone with this controller! Sure, you could always just use a PS4/5 controller with a phone clip, but this is a MUCH more elegant solution (and much less bulk). == BOTTOM LINE == I definitely find myself playing much more games on my phone now than before. It's very compact, no Bluetooth connection to worry about, you can charge your phone while playing, and the buttons feel great. If you (or someone you know) is a big PlayStation fan and enjoys mobile gaming, this is AWESOME!

I am so glad that I made this purchased. It’s all that I’ve been missing.

Best iPhone accessory for gaming, Playstation made a great mobile controller.

Great product easy to set up and you can use it everywhere you go

Cool controller, though no rumble is included with it.

Hood device nephew likes Play on the go !!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty good Backbone - One Playstation Edition for

They’re not too great they don’t last long and warranty doesn’t really cover nothing

Product looks amazing but feels very fragile, used it for 1.5 days, 2 hours the first day and then 1 hour in the next day streaming remote play from my ps5 to play final fantasy 1 pixel remaster, basically a game boy game and the dpad buttons started to stick! And they were really hard to unstick, not super happy with the product considering if it’s anything other than an rpg I’m probably gonna lose/die , which isn’t fun.

Perfect Christmas gift for my 7 year old game lover son. We did have to take his phone out his phone case, so a little nervous about that. Overall, great purchase and convenient! It did slip out his hand and fell from the top stair all the way down, it stayed together and still functions.

Good product and I love the ability to play my games anywhere. Although cloud gaming is very limited it’s still amazing

I give backbone five stars for its diversity in game streaming on all consoles and the controller itself feels great

I have a Steam deck i play on much more I thought the portability would sway me away from the Deck. It only brought me closer lol

I like the feel of the control. It’s very similar to the actual controller

this controller works great. works for many games.
