A must for a mobile gamer

SweetSJ October 25, 2023

For a gamer who also plays mobile games, this is a must. I am an android user and this controller is a great addition to my mobile gaming. It runs smoothely, fits my phone perfectly and it's adjustable so even my bigger phone can fit in. It can be connected to google play pass, xbox game pass and much more. You can record and edit game clips with this. It truly convert your phone to a gaming device.

so great!

jillmarie October 23, 2023

Any mobile game that use a virtual control will be drastically improved by using the Backbone. Setting up the Backbone One is easy. It integrates with my phone, and the app makes connecting and discovering games easy. The apps user interface is intuitive, allowing for seamless navigation and easy access to my favorite titles.

Excellent control for mobile gaming

Michelle October 22, 2023

I decided to get the backbone for my son and I to use while gaming on our cellphones. The control is designed in such a way as to be both ergonomic and responsive. We found that it fits most Android devices well. There's also a Backbone app on the Play Store which is said to provide a stream-like interface that allows you to launch games and browse your library. In addition, there is a $40 annual subscription option, which we haven't tried yet, but it could be interesting if you're interested in that type of thing. Overall, I was very pleased with the backbone. In my opinion, this is an excellent controller for Android games that support it, especially for retro emulation gaming.

So Cool!

TeshS October 23, 2023

This device really does what it says it will do! It states that it will transform your phone into a gaming device and it really does! I am completely in awe with it! I got this for my nephew who likes to play Roblox and this has changed the game for him! Literally takes it everywhere.

Cool!

LeesMom October 22, 2023

This a great mobile gaming device. It fits my samsung perfectly. It does not need to charge because it uses the power of my phone. It makes gaming on my phone much more fun with using the joysticks. I just installed the app and I can play games from xbox account.

My daughter absolutely loves this controller. I had bought her other game platforms in the past but she nevwr played them. They sat and i ended up selling them. This she has the option to download any game she wats to play and use this controller!! She uses it a few times a week as I limit game play, but it's a great item!! I love it

Works great for Xbox One games

Leo April 4, 2025

To start off it was difficult to set up because the backbone app wasn't waiting to work right with my sons phone. When I realized he wanted to use it for his Xbox One games it was easier to set up. Check if your phone is compatible before buying one.

Easy to connect and ready to play

Don October 23, 2023

Very quick to configure and start playing with games, played few games on xbox cloud gaming and was awesome. There was no delays in playing soccer games and some rpg was got quick response. The directional sticks are very smooth and works pretty good. Connecting headphones is simple and gives good in-space gaming experience. Button press feels are smoother.

Works well but incredibly overpriced, and this

BadMonkey November 6, 2023

This Backbone One (USB-C) - Mobile Gaming Controller for Android and iPhone 15 Series - Black does work. It is just a plug and play via usb c however get rid of your c phone case if you want to use this controller. I had to remove all my android phone cases to test this controller out. It is user friendly with button placement and works well woth most of the games I tried. It can expand at the center for larger phones but again a case can cause issues. It seems just designed for a caseless phone. This model will not work woth Playstation but there is another model that does. An app is available with free and subscription versions. The only advantage is possible updates but i wouldnt pay for it. The construction of this controller does not in anyway expalin why its so expensive. There are plenty of competitors with more a durable build at market pricing that makes sense. It would shop around...

Lousy customer service

Kathryn December 16, 2024

1st order was “lost in shipping”. You stated nothing could be done except refund the money. 2nd order, the wrong item was shipped and received see photo. (Should be usb-c android). I contacted Backbone and UPS for 1st lost package. It was found and delivered. Now Walmart wants me to pay for doing their job researching the problem.
