One of the standout features is its compatibility with various gaming platforms. I can easily stream games through cloud gaming services like Xbox Game Pass and GeForce NOW, or connect via Remote Play to my PlayStation, Xbox, or PC. The convenience of being able to play virtually any game, anywhere, is a game-changer.
The design is another highlight. It's clear that the Backbone One was meticulously crafted for comfort and portability. The ultra-wide analog triggers, precise thumbsticks, and responsive D-pad and buttons make gaming on the go feel like a console-quality experience.
What sets this controller apart is its low latency, pass-through charging, and 3.5mm headset jack. The USB-C connectivity ensures ultra-responsive gameplay, while I can charge my device and use my favorite headset simultaneously. It's the perfect setup for immersive gaming sessions.
I also appreciate the wide compatibility with Android phones (version 10.0 and up) and iPhone 15 series, with support for cases included. The magnetic adapters make it easy to use with different cases, ensuring a hassle-free gaming experience.
Additionally, the Backbone+ trial is a fantastic bonus. It grants access to exclusive perks, the Backbone app, and a range of features like screen recording, game recommendations, and seamless connectivity with friends.
Overall, the Backbone One - PlayStation Edition has exceeded my expectations. It's a must-have for any mobile gamer looking for a premium gaming controller with unparalleled versatility and performance. Highly recommended!
The only issue I came across (so far) was not being able to run full sprint in a game that I’m playing right now, which doesn’t have joystick sensitivity settings. So, I would imagine this isn’t ideal for every game, but it’s perfect for RPG’s, side scrollers, rogue-likes, etc.
Edit: I recalibrated the joysticks shortly after posting this. I wish I bought this when it was on sale, but it’s still worth every penny.
PRO:
The controller works great overall, buttons are responsive and the analog sticks are flick-friendly and responsive.
The Backbone app for Android works great and has a lot of great features and a pretty slick user interface.
CONS:
Only negative to the buttons are the "Start" and "Select" buttons are a little out of place and difficult to get to without letting go of the controller and adjusting your hand placement.
The ONLY thing I took a star away for is the fact that it is definitely for little hands. I have rather large hands and long fingers so the R & L buttons and R & L trigger buttons are a little impossible for me to hit while holding the controller properly.
With all of that said, if you're not able to get a PS Portal or a Steam Deck, grab a Backbone and use your current mobile device! It not only works just as good, but saves you some money in the meantime! A++

I wouldn't recommend playing anything competitive or needing precision , the control sticks are on the smaller side and therefore less precise than a full size controller. They work great though, and the rest of the buttons feel good and clicky. Can't blame backbone for this, but I do wish there was a touchpad button like on the actual PS controllers. On remote play, you will have to use your phone screen to tap the virtual touchpad instead.

The controller's design is the first thing you notice. It's sleek, ergonomic, and feels great in the hands, reminiscent of a traditional PlayStation controller. The build quality is solid, and it doesn't add much weight to the phone, which is a big plus for longer gaming sessions.
Pairing with the iPhone is a breeze, thanks to the Lightning connector. There's no lag or connectivity issues, and the direct connection means you don't have to worry about charging the controller separately.
The button layout and responsiveness are excellent. The controls feel intuitive, especially if you're familiar with PlayStation controllers. The analog sticks are precise, and the buttons have a satisfying click to them.
However, there are a couple of downsides. First, it's a bit pricey compared to some other mobile gaming controllers. Also, it's specifically designed for iPhones with a Lightning port, so it's not versatile if you use multiple devices or plan to switch to USB-C in the future.
In conclusion it is a fantastic choice for serious mobile gamers, especially those who appreciate the PlayStation controller layout. It's easy to use, well-built, and significantly enhances the gaming experience on your iPhone. The price and device compatibility are the only considerations to keep in mind before purchasing.
