The Backbone One has to be one of the greatest ideas I've reviewed on this channel. The ability to turn your phone into a handheld gaming console is something I think all of us would love to have and the Backbone promises to do that. PlayStation even partnered with Backbone to make an exclusive PS5 edition of the controller thats built for remote play. But there's a catch. Well, a few of them. In this review we'll see if the good out weighs the bad for this handheld gaming controller.

You do not need backbone plus to use the backbone button as the PlayStation button in remote play. It’s just a half second hold for the quick menu and a long hold to go to the ps5 Home Screen. I use it every day without paying a dime for backbone +.

Thanks for the good review! :) I was thinking about getting the backbone one (playstation edition), because I could use it for my phone and my pc. But when you talked about the subscription, my mind was blown. It's just bs!

@piggygaming3455 2 месяца назад

You don’t even need the subscription to use the controller. All the subscription does is give you a free trial to a couple of services, and gives you a few extra features. That’s it.

@Davidforprofit 10 дней назад

Ive bought a lot of these types of controllers and the backbone is definitely my favorite by far because it keeps my phone light and smaller form factor. I only use emulators and maybe so cod mobile and its perfect. I paid full price and yea its a little expensive but imo its the best controller for my needs and ive played it pretty heavy for a year and its help up perfectly no issues. If this looks like something you want and you can afford it you will not be disappointed. I have the original black one

@deebev9023 8 дней назад

I have a backbone that I was using with my Samsung Z Fold 4 and I was enjoying it. The issue came after gaming for a few hours my phone got hot and the hinge of my phone messed up and now I can no longer open my phone. Gaming with the Z Fold's bigger screen was great but the phone could not handle it because it is not made for heavy gaming. I hate gaming with smaller phones so I ended up getting a PlayStation Portal.

I’ve had mine for over 2 yrs now going on 3 and it is the PlayStation version. As an active backbone member I can honestly say, you don’t know what you’re talking about. It is the best portable gaming controller I have ever had and the way you use it does show that you need a more time using it to get a better understanding of it. The backbone game controller is worth the price and everything else that comes with it

Had a backbone but as a company they're greedy and I hope they fall off . That is absolutely false advertising, the physical controls are nowhere near the quality of a real PS5 or Xbox controller yet this cost more . Add the fact there exist other mobile controllers for cheaper with BETTER hardware albeit no software. Also for android users they charge the same for the black version or the PS edition yet the black version CANNOT play PS remote play .this controller is decent not the best and definitely overpriced
