It’s good, light and easy to use device that does its job. The main problem is ergonomics. Especially if you have larger hands. Handles lack of thickness and not very comfortable to use for longer sessions.

I gave this controller as a Christmas gift to an 18-year-old family member, and the joy on his face said it all. He started using it immediately and has thanked me repeatedly.

I bought this for my boyfriend, he loves it. It’s convenient, easy to carry, sturdy. The only thing is it doesn’t fit on his phone unless he takes off his clear case (iPhone 16 pro max)

This thing is pretty awesome. I had to knock off one star because it didn't work with the case that I had on my phone when I bought the Backbone. My clear Otterrbox Symmetry case was too thick where the USB-C plug of the Backbone plugs into the phone (iPhone 15 Pro), so it would not connect to the phone at all. It seemed like it was just shy of making the connection. I ended up having to buy another case for my phone (3 in less than a month) to be able to make it work. Thankfully, I had just bought a lightning version of the Backbone for my son's iPhone 12 mini one day before buying mine, and it worked great with the case he had on his (JETech Magnetic Case bought on Amazon), so I just bought one of those cases and now the backbone works as advertised. If I had one suggestion for Backbone, it's to make the USB-C plug protrude a sixteenth of an inch or so farther so than it can work with thicker cases. That being said, the improvement they made from Gen 1 to Gen 2 of adding the included swappable magnetic adapters to allow for phone with cases on in the first place was my deciding factor in buying this controller. The Gen 1 Backbone not supporting a phone with its case on was a deal breaker for me. Seriously, who wants to take their case off every time they want to play some games more conveniently? It kind of defeats the purpose. So, I'm glad they addressed it, but they do need to address the small flaw I mentioned above for Gen 3. Overall, it is a very good product, and I would recommend it.

I got this instead of the Playstation Portal or the Steam deck. mainly because this can do both with PS Remote Play and Steam Link. I wish the buttons were a bit bigger but it does the job when I'm not at home.

Most games that we like to play ate not compatible with the play station back bone. The scuf back bone is easy better and more compatible with all games and the app was free. This one you need a membership or you watch ads constantly. Also does not have ts own batteries and the phone stains quickly so needs constant charged

Product used to work great. Bought it last April(2024) and played it and loved it for about 2 months Until I got my Nintendo Switch. I recently gave my Switch to my youngest and picked my Backbone controller back up. I bought my Backbone controller on April 17, 2024. Yesterday the audio on my Samsung S24 Ultra kept switching off when I was trying to play Call of Duty. I tried to turn up the volume and noticed my phone had switched to Bluetooth. This was something plugging in the controller triggered. Even when I turned off my phone’s Bluetooth the controller’s glitching would still switch the audio output to Bluetooth. I even unpaired all my Bluetooth connected devices so it would have nothing to pair to. I thought this would prevent it from switching from the phone’s audio. It didn’t help and it still caused the same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Backbone app several times today and not only do I still have the audio issues but now my phone is registering the controller as having several buttons pressed even when no buttons are pressed and this starts immediately anytime I connect the Backbone controller.

System is pretty cool, but the controls are small for my hands. I also liked that i could back and forth between both my xbox and playstation accounts. Even tho i got the playstation version.
