This thing is THE accessory for your inner child. I can play mobile games like CoD Mobile, I can play anything on Steam, I can play anything on Xbox, plus anything on Playstation, even emulators and certain other things you wouldn't expect to work, games that seem like they shouldn't have controls at all mobile or on PC, anywhere you have signal. It's turned my phone into any console, and has surpassed my expectations. I don't even work for you and I am always recommending your product, hire me?
Love playing games using the Backbone. Super easy to use, just plug in your phone and play, specially if you game on the go and don't wanna carry around a bulky device like the Switch or the Steam Deck. The Backbone is the Perfect Solution for gamers, you're obviously able to play games from your device, you are also able to play games by connecting to PlayStation Remote, XBox Cloud, Steam Link and GeForce Now all from your phone. It's amazing, it's revolutionary to the mobile gaming industry.
The Backbone app and controller completely transform your phone into a true gaming console. The setup is fast, the controls are smooth and responsive, and the overall build quality feels premium. The app keeps your games organized, makes sharing clips easy, and works flawlessly with cloud gaming and console streaming. Everything runs lag-free and feels incredibly polished. If you love gaming on your phone, Backbone is an absolute must-have! 🎮🔥
best mobile controller. I got the pro after having several of the regular models I like it a little better as far as functionality goes but what got me was that if you buy their subscription they extend the warranty for life or as long as you keep your subscription paid im guessing. I am going to wait until almost a year until the manufacturer warranty ends and see if I have any problems before then and also see how it goes if so. Will update.
this device is a game changer ( literally) good stuff all around. if a game supports the backbone, it's 100x better experience to use it.
