The controller is comfy, lightweight and the buttons/analogs feel snappy and responsive. It attaches and detaches to the iPhone simply and quickly, and immediately goes to work once attached. I gave this five stars because I am loving it and having a blast, but there are actually a few (very minor) drawbacks: 1. Even with the adapters that come with the Backbone, I have to take my phone out of its case. I'm even using a low-profile Spigen hard case, and the lightning plug just won't reach all the way with the case on. Not a huge setback but a little disappointing. 2. The "Start" and "Select" buttons (ellipsis and stacked lines) are accompanied by an orange system button and a screenshot button on the right and left sides, respectively. If you're doing Xbox Remote Play and you try to pause a game or bring up a menu in-game, you're very likely to hit one of the Backbone buttons (orange or screenshot), which immediately kicks you over to the Backbone app and ends your Remote Play session. I accidentally do this about half the time. It's REALLY annoying. As I get used to the Backbone I am doing this less, so it's really a personal preference thing, but still. I kill my Remote session constantly and have to reconnect while I'm in the heart of the action playing a game. You might be able to re-map these buttons but I haven't gotten that far yet. Overall, I love the product and recommend it. Worth the money and very very fun! Review: Great Product for Portable Gaming - I'm going to preface this by saying my son has only been using this for 4 days so I can't speak to durability, but so far, it seems to be a good product. I bought this on Black Friday for my son after his the screen on his Switch went out as a cheaper alternative that would allow him to play more of the games he enjoys as he gets older. A couple of things I want to clarify because it either wasn't addressed in the reviews I read or there was back and forth in the reviews I read: 1. My son has an iPhone and X-Box, so those are the devices and platforms he's working with. 2. You DO NOT need the Backbone app or subscription to use the Backbone. 3. You can play SOME games like Fortnite and Roblox by just connecting your phone and opening the game. 4. To use this with the X-Box gaming app, you DO need an X-Box Game Pass *Ultimate* subscription to have cloud gaming. 5. My son has not had any issues with lagging once the game is open, but does sometimes have issues getting the games to open with the Backbone connected. We haven't really figured out why it's doing this, but closing everything out, disconnecting, and reconnecting *usually* works. ## Features - PLAY VIRTUALLY ANY GAME, ANYWHERE: Enjoy mobile gaming on the go.

Or do you have to take your case off to use the controller?** A: You have to take it off unfortunately. I have otter box for my android and my fiancée's iPhone doesn't work with her case in either **Q: Will this affect my screen protector when trying to put it on ?** A: No, it won’t affect your screen protector as the screen protector adds negligible thickness to your phone. With that being said, it won’t work if there’s a case on your phone, however. **Q: I want a case to store my backbone controller, some accessories maybe, any recommendations?** A: I bought an ANYWEST's case, it has a phone stand inside, a small pocket for airtag, compact while enough room!!Highly recommended! **Q: Does it work with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020?** A: Yes! if Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is on Game Pass, you will be able to stream it to your iPhone. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This thing is super duper awesome *by R***T on August 15, 2024* The Backbone is nearly perfect for what it's designed to do.

They are fairly common and unfortunately, I had it happen very early (purchased may 11th, stopped working July 7th) on in the ownership of this product. One day it works, then you have a button hitting it self without your input. Then the joystick drifts and you’re SOL. The calibration doesn’t help much in their app, but it’s nice for lesser issues I’d imagine. I personally would put your money into “cheaper” alternatives. I didn’t game on this for more than 10 hours a week and I stored it on its back without the joysticks being pressed upon anything. Very very disappointing after paying $100ish dollars for this. ## Frequently Bought Together - BACKBONE One Mobile Gaming Controller for iPhone (Lightning) - 1st Gen - Turn Your iPhone into a Gaming Console - Play Xbox, PlayStation, Call of Duty, Roblox, Minecraft, Genshin Impact & More - BACKBONE One Carrying Case - Protect Your One in Style, at Home or on The Move --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/319890267-backbone-one-mobile-gaming-controller-for-iphone-14-and-older](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/319890267-backbone-one-mobile-gaming-controller-for-iphone-14-and-older) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
