A must for a mobile gamer
For a gamer who also plays mobile games, this is a must. I am an android user and this controller is a great addition to my mobile gaming. It runs smoothely, fits my phone perfectly and it's adjustable so even my bigger phone can fit in. It can be connected to google play pass, xbox game pass and much more. You can record and edit game clips with this. It truly convert your phone to a gaming device.
so great!
Any mobile game that use a virtual control will be drastically improved by using the Backbone. Setting up the Backbone One is easy. It integrates with my phone, and the app makes connecting and discovering games easy. The apps user interface is intuitive, allowing for seamless navigation and easy access to my favorite titles.
Excellent control for mobile gaming
I decided to get the backbone for my son and I to use while gaming on our cellphones. The control is designed in such a way as to be both ergonomic and responsive. We found that it fits most Android devices well. There's also a Backbone app on the Play Store which is said to provide a stream-like interface that allows you to launch games and browse your library. In addition, there is a $40 annual subscription option, which we haven't tried yet, but it could be interesting if you're interested in that type of thing. Overall, I was very pleased with the backbone. In my opinion, this is an excellent controller for Android games that support it, especially for retro emulation gaming.
