Backbone One controller We have been using the Backbone One for a few weeks now, and we are impressed by its design, performance, and features. The Backbone One is a snap-on controller that connects to our iPhone via Lightning port, and transforms it into a handheld gaming device. It is compatible with any iPhone from the iPhone 6 onward, and also works with Android phones via USB-C. The Backbone One feels comfortable and sturdy in our hands, and has a sleek and elegant look. It has a pair of offset analog sticks, a D-pad, four face buttons, four shoulder buttons, an options button, and a capture button. The buttons are responsive and tactile, and the analog triggers have a nice travel distance. The controller also has a headphone jack and a charging port, so we can play games without draining our phone's battery or sacrificing audio quality. One of the best features of the Backbone One is its companion app, which acts as a hub for all our mobile gaming needs. The app lets us launch games, browse our library, discover new titles, record and share gameplay clips, and chat with our friends. The app also supports cloud gaming services like Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Now, so we can stream console-quality games to our phone. The app is easy to use and integrates seamlessly with the controller. Overall, we think the Backbone One is a great mobile controller that enhances our gaming experience on our phone. It is well-built, comfortable, and functional, and it comes with a useful app that offers a lot of features. We recommend it to anyone who loves mobile gaming and wants a more immersive and convenient way to play. We also bought the Backbone One carrying case to protect our controller and take it with us wherever we go. The case is made of durable material, and has a zipper closure that keeps our controller secure. It also has a loop that lets us attach it to our backpack or belt. The case comes in two colors: black and PlayStation Edition white. We picked the black one, as it matches our phone and controller. The case is a must-have for any Backbone One owner who wants to keep it safe and secure. For more information and to order your case, visit: playbackbone.com.
