i have some generic cheap one of these which broke after just a few weeks. i decided to spend a little more and the difference in quality is very noticeable. the buttons are more responsive and it just feels better. highly recommend

If you are a mobile gamer but cant afford the alternative official mobile game pads, then this is a very good option. I have large hands but this fits well and ergonomically well designed. The sticks and buttons all well positioned so I do not find myself pressing more than one button even on this smaller device. Obviously the performance of your games is down to the connection, phone quality and battery life, but I have not had a problem playing any of my supported games due to the hardware. The only caution is their attempts to get you to subscribe to a gaming platform. If you have GamePass, PSN or Steam etc, you do NOT need to subscribe to be able to play these, so be carful not to subscribe unless you want to.

The controller is great and snaps onto basically any phone. I personally have the iPhone 13 myself and have a traditional apple phone case which I need to take of when snapping in the backbone. The first thing you should do is unbox it which should come with a manual, the backbone and a pair of smaller phone grips (for the minis) Attach your phone phone and the download the app backbone. After that It will take you through a couple steps to setup and then offer you a subscription. I believe the subscription is 45pounds annually. What this subscription does is give you access to things like Xbox live GeForce now etc. This subscription is OPTIONAL and you do not have to buy it to play games on your phone but will mean that you can’t play gt5 csgo2 etc without the subscription. This subscription is sadly hidden when you order and isn’t shown. I haven’t bought the subscription because I play Codm on my phone with this and don’t play pc games on my phone but if you want to you have to buy the subscription. The backbone is AMAZING QUALITY and the buttons feel great and tactile although the LT and RT are a little squishy but this doesn’t really impact gameplay. Overall I think the purchase is definitely worth it but do be warned about the 50 pound subscription. If you play App Store games with this make sure it says it supports console or just search it up. If you want pc games then you must buy the subscription.Thank you for reading

The company claims this product is compatible with the Mous Limitless 5.0 case with one or both magnetic adapters removed, but in actual fact with both removed my iPhone 15 Pro doesn’t “click” into the USB-C port and the Backbone One intermittently connects and disconnects. I tried with my wife’s phone, the same as mine, as is her case except it has a printed design, but that has the same issue too.Without the case, the iPhone clicks into place and works fine.Obviously this is false advertising.

A bit difficult to set up but works great
