Backbone One mobile controller review: The best game controller for your iPhone
Gaming is going through some fundamental changes. While new-generation consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are as popular as ever, the rise of cloud gaming has put the future of consoles in doubt, and many suggest a future of more portable, more accessible gaming is on the way.
But there's a lot that needs to happen before we get there. Sure, the underlying tech has a long way to go, but so do the consumer-facing devices, like the controllers and apps that will ultimately be used. Backbone wants to solve all of that, with the Backbone One -- a mobile controller that connects to your phone, and allows you to play all your mobile games, including streamed ones, on the fly.
Does it achieve that goal? I’ve been using the Backbone One controller for a while now to find out. Note, I’m reviewing the PlayStation model, but there is a standard model. They work the same.
Pros
- Great design
- Well-guilt
- Comfortable
- Backbone app works great
- Works with other devices
Cons
- A bit expensive
