- Linda F.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 starsStop procrastinating and get this Backbone One
Do you love gaming? Gaming is my life. I'm a 45 year old gaming a$$ female. The Backbone One is definitely one of the most innovative, imaginative and greatest inventions of its time, it has 2 types one for iPhone and another for Android. Make sure you read which controller goes to your exact phone. Mine is for Android. It clearly says (Made for iPhone) but (Works for Android). It is not the company's fault if you didn't carefully read what controller works for which phone. It will be located on the box if that specific Backbone One works for Android or iPhone. It is absolutely amazing and I love using it for Call of duty mobile. I LOVE MY BACKBONE ONE AND STAND BEHIND IT 💯 % ...So yar go get your Backbone One yall!!!!

I love the new backbone pro setup If it's good in my hands I like the thumb sticks they're a little bit bigger than the backbone one I like that too and I like the buttons you can coordinate that's under the hand grips that helps out a lot too is really good I'm still trying to learn the systems and how to play G-Force and steam on there since I already have that downloaded but other than that right now I enjoying it very very much and when is backbone going to be launching some new games on the app exclusively for the backbone or another teaming up with call of duty that'll be kind of cool or something with a rockstar I think that help boost you guys's cells and then you know putting more games on there that you can play if you're not online or you can play offline to great customer service so keep it up you guys got a good thing going here
- Patrick D.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsEasy Peasy!
My experience with the Backbone site has been great. I’ve had no issues with the user interface and I have been able to find everything that I was looking for. I haven’t had to contact customer support for anything as of yet. I’m not expecting to need to either. It’s pretty self explanatory once you get into the site.
- Patrick D.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsAwesome
This controller was recommended to me by a friend. I had seen social media ads for this but was skeptical about it. My friend has one and told me about her experience with it and so I decided to take a chance.
I am not disappointed! This controller has exceeded my expectations!
I’m able to play the games that I play on my PlayStation and it has even reduced my cellular bill as I’m not using my mobile hotspot nearly as much as I used to.
I have access to all of my mobile versions of my games with minimal impact on the graphics. I don’t seem to lag due to being on my phone rather than my internet connection.
Overall, this is a great product and I highly recommend it!
