I've been a gamer my entire life, and this little device is an awesome piece of technology! I was skeptical at first given that mobile gaming used to be clunky and awkward, often leading to shorter gaming sessions as the ergonomics of playing complex games on a phone were exhausting on the hands. Backbone's device remedies so many different problems that gamers on the go face today.
First off, this thing is light and small. The controllers are about the same size as a switch controller, and they are very comfortable to hold in the hands. I've been able to use this device for extended periods of time without fatigue.
The device has two rubber grip like pads, and a spring loaded center support bar, so it keeps a constant gentle pressure on your phone, ensuring that it does not slip or fall out while you are gaming. This is important, as I've found that I cannot fit my phone case in the Backbone device whilst using it, so I can rest assured in the solid retention this device has. There is also an Audio jack and a USB C port on the device, it works as a passthrough power device to my knowledge so you don't have to stop gaming while you charge.
Next the buttons and sticks are of solid construction. The buttons are tactile, the thumb sticks feel snappy and responsive. The bumpers have "click" while the triggers do not. Overall they feel very solid and similar to other controllers on the market.
Setting up the Backbone requires an App on your phone, and this will allow you to connect to your desired device whether it be Playstation, Xbox, or my preferred gaming platform, PC. I was able to use Steamlink, and was able to jump into a game straight away. Obviously the games best suited for this are games that are optimized for controllers, but you can technically access your entire Steam library if you wanted to.
So, who is this device best suited for? People like me, who has a gaming set up at home, but no longer has the time to game all day at home. The gamer who is going to most benefit from this is the casual player. The regular joe, who has to work a regular job, but still has some down time during the day to play a round or two of COD. Maybe on a lunch break, in between classes, stuck in an airport, or maybe as a passenger on a long road trip. If this is a problem you face, then this is the perfect tool for your mobile gaming needs without breaking the bank.

I give it a 4 stars bc it's me.
It's a great phone gaming controller if ur more comfortable of holding controller when gaming than using ur fingers swiping. I'm already used to fingers but thought it would help me on some area in my game i play in like codm. It's a lil harder for me,a female but great for bigger hands but IMO its still great and at least it does what it was made to do and works good on codm if anyone who plays codm and looking for an alternative controller to use beside their own controller. I recommended it to a friend. Ps I was using a Samsung galaxy note 10+ 5g

A friend of mine recommended this to me and at the time it was only available for iphones.so i waited for the android playstation edition and to my suprised im 100% convinced this is the new standard for mobile gaming on the go.And it reinvigorated my interest for cell phone gaming.It doesnt stop there now i can play my favorite PS4 & PS5 games on the go !!...now i dont have to wait until i get home to continue playing my games.The other great thing about this add-on controller is that it features a built-in all in one software interface that includes Google Play Store,Playstation Remote App(of course) and Xbox Gamepass Cloud Gaming.My best advice to you is DONT LEAVE HOKE WITHOUT IT !!

As a PlayStation fan, I was excited to try out the Backbone One Android PlayStation edition. I've been using it for a few weeks now, and I'm really impressed with it.
The Backbone One is a controller that attaches to your Android phone. It makes gaming on your phone feel more like gaming on a console. The controller is well-made and feels comfortable in my hands. The buttons are responsive and the triggers have a good amount of travel.
The Backbone One also comes with a companion app that lets you customize your controller settings. You can change the button mapping, and the audio output.
I've been using the Backbone One to play a variety of games, including Dead Cells, Diablo: Immortal, and Call of Duty Mobile. The controller has made gaming on my phone much more enjoyable. It's especially great for games that require precise controls, like shooters and fighting games.
If you're a PlayStation fan who wants to take their mobile gaming to the next level, I highly recommend the Backbone One Android PlayStation edition. It's a great way to get a console-like gaming experience on your phone.
Overall, I think the Backbone One Android PlayStation edition is a great controller for PlayStation fans who want to take their mobile gaming to the next level. It's well-made, comfortable, and responsive. The companion app is also a great addition. If you're looking for a way to make your mobile gaming experience more enjoyable, I highly recommend the Backbone One

I absolutely love my backbone. I use it on every single trip I take. It's super convenient to pack it up with my regular luggage as it's light and compact. It works incredibly well with mobile games and with both the Xbox streaming and PS5 remote play.

Fits the Pixel 7 with ease. Plays many of the the games on playstore without even having to mess with the key binding. Works like a charm for emulators as well. And you can use it as a PC controller if you don't have one.

This product has been flawless so far. Ive has it for 3 months now and no major problems. The game selections are entertaining and numerous and works with many apps you wouldn't expect. Playstation remote play is awesome, with a great connection and great games to play it just lets you expand where and when you can play your Playstation games at home. Overall 4 out of 5 for being such a great hand held device the only thing that could make it better is working with a few more major gaming brands to make controls that much better.

Pretty great for gaming on the go. PS remote play does require a physical PS5 but Xbox gamepass does not require the same.
