  1. Josey

    My husband loves this product and uses it every day to play his video games.

  2. SamsungUser

    Bought this as a gift. The gift was received excitedly. I dont play Xbox but for those who do, this appears to be the thing to have.

  3. Cameron

    So far I like this product quite a bit. The controls feel nice and it connects to my phone easily. It is ergonomic. I use it to play on Xbox Game Pass and it really adds some flexibility for gaming on the go or if the family is using the TV. I feel it is pretty expensive so I hope it lasts. I did experience a couple of instances of left joystick drift which caused me some concern. It went away and Backbone has a one year warranty if it comes back. I baby this thing and keep it in a case. I hope this was just a fluke but time will tell. Overall I recommend it – if it lasts.

  4. JanieB

    My son love this device since he left home for school he doesn’t have lots of room in his dorm so this has really made it much easier when he just wants to get on his game. It’s perfect and fits well in the comfort of his hands. Good price and great for travel.

  5. Romano

    I bought this for my son for Christmas and he loves it!! So much easier on the hands and fingers, easy hookup, no issues. Over all great product!

  6. Rosie

    Loving this item . Is the best thing ever made for phone gamers

  7. DanielG

  8. BoyMomx3

    Perfect! Comes exactly as described. My son loves the idea of being able to take it everywhere.

  9. GeraldT

    The back bone is really a good deal especially when you get the Xbox one because it comes with a free month of game pass and it’s the same price as the ps5 one I got the Xbox one just because of that right there but it’s a really good device to have

  10. TheGamer

    Best gift ever for Any Gamer, it’s a plus for call of duty mobile

  11. FOEFOE

  14. Jyaylor

    Son loves it! He can play Fortnite in his iPhone with this.

  15. VeeT

  20. Damian3av23

    If you have a wired Xbox Ethernet connection then this is for you. It doesn’t work well if your Xbox is on wifi

  21. Unknown

    A must for game pass, saves me a lot of money to play on game pass, just get it when its on sale.

  22. AlejandroV

  27. Mouth

    Great product! It works flawlessly and makes mobile gaming extremely fun.

  28. Pops

    Perfect for the getaway gamer. Easy to use and control reactions are identical to console, no delay in controls; however depending on what internet service you have will dictate any lag you may have.

  29. CurtisW

    Overall this is was a great gift. The kid loved it and uses it non stop, looks like it makes playing games much easier.

  30. RBJ5

    I would consider this the best gaming handheld because you can play your game cloud games anywhere you are by just attaching your phone.

  31. AshleyG

    I can’t seem to get my husband off of it! Great product! Any suggestions on how to get more attention back from my husband though?

  32. Satisfied

    Enhances phone play while traveling. Fun for the kids in the car and on a plane.

  33. Maya

    My teen loves this device. It is very simple to set up (just fit your phone into it, it just works). It plays any game that supports controller. Very cool purchase.

  34. DustinW

    Amazing experience for phone type of gaming set up. If you connect to Google Chrome and synchronize it all to your TV. You can get Xbox cloud data stream. It is a great experience.

  35. Smily

    It is so convenient and easy to travel with for me and my family. Really love it

  36. AllenC

    Bought to try out Xbox cloud gaming, which isn’t fully functional or stable yet. Cool controller, but ergonomics could be slightly better. Not into mobile gaming but I’m sure it works great for phone games. Easy to set up though.

  37. SarahT

    Got both the apple n c charger for my gamers n they love them!!!

  38. JosephG

    Bought this for when I’m not home and it’s the best purchase. I’ve made great quality and priced perfectly for what it is.

  39. DannyV

    Great Product, My Son Loves It, Its Pretty Much An Xbox On The Go

  40. PrettyWoman

    As someone who has everything, this was the Perfect Christmas gift for my husband!

  41. NiFa

    Great product, works as designed. My 11 yr loves to be able to plug the phone in on the go. Best Buy pickup was fantastic, super helpful customer service.

  42. jhnarva

    Great for mobile games and easy to setup. The only things that can be improved in my opinion is the analog sticks and the XABY buttons. The analog sticks are a bit too sensitive and the buttons click a bit loud. That being said, it still improves gaming on mobile devices tremendously.

  43. Joshuarhea84

    Controller for phone games nuff said. Must buy for phone gamer

  44. ChristyC

    Very easy to set up and to use.Love that it can travel with your phone.

    This purchase was a gift for my girlfriend so we could play more xbox games together. Great Purchase, Very affordable

  46. Happyteen

    No access to nvidia or the Playstation app due to membership capacity

  47. Ric5395

    The backbone was a gift for my son for christmas. It has completely replaced him playing his switch or iphone on long rides in the car. A must have for xbox game pass users.
