Certainly nifty for those who want to use their over-ear headphones, or a pair of non-apple earbuds while playing a title or just wanting to listen to some tunes. There’s also a bottom left port for those looking to connect a pair of headphones via a 3.5mm jack. The issue of your phone going flat may be something you run into quickly, depending on your phone’s battery health, to which the aforementioned lightning port acts as a passthrough, meaning you can charge your phone while using the Backbone. Just connect it via the lightning jack on the bottom right port and via USB on your PC.

The Backbone itself acts as a controller for Mac or PC users, without having to connect their iPhone to the peripheral. The latest news from events such as Gamescom, Sony’s State of Play or an XBOX Showcase are all listed under What’s New, along with brand new games that may have just hit iOS. The Backbone app is well organised and acts like your phone’s gaming hub, recognising any titles you may have installed to your iPhone, or the xCloud and PS Remote Play app placed on its dashboard, respectively. This can be turned off for those not wanting that feature. Of course, there is no adaptive triggers or haptic feedback, but vibration is simulated with quick buzzes. Designed to give a respective demonstration to both tactile and trigger like qualities, they push the preface that Nintendo should be paying attention to this product for their own controllers, given that the Backbone is able to cater both shoulder button types without any issues.
The bumpers and triggers at the top feel fantastic, and are obviously integral to your experience. No console, only my phone, the Backbone One and my 5G connection and I was speeding through Mexico, playing through a few missions in Forza Horizon 5. Then there was connecting to xCloud, and damn was this just insane. I played through multiple rounds of Mortal Kombat 11, and about thirty minutes worth of The Last of Us Part I before I was satisfied. As for my personal experience, I had no issues connecting my phone to my PS5 at home, while testing the unit in a park about five blocks away. This pertains mainly to those who are seeking to use this solely for its remote play capabilities. Now in terms of gaming experience itself, your mileage may vary due in part of your home internet for starters. While mainly licensing a colour scheme and use of the sacred symbols (The ▲⏺🞭⏹), The rest of its build retains the Backbone One’s original button configuration and symbols for those familiar with the original product. The model itself fits iPhone’s from the 6 upwards, and comes with an adapter for those carrying the an iPhone 13 or the new 14 to facilitate its rectangular ridges.
The D-Pad does strip away PlayStation’s trademark individual quarters, but still looks great and matches the aesthetic presented on a PlayStation Dualsense. Buttons press like a dream, and the analogue sticks are surprisingly great to use. By comparison between the two, the Backbone One definitely wins on comfort, and feel. The formation of the controller itself is akin to the Nintendo Switch’s Joy cons, but the Backbone gives off a distinct premium quality to it. Not only does it feel comfortable in the palm, my entire reviewing experience of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R was almost exclusively on the Backbone One via remote play. Backbone One’s versatility is showcased with numerous options for gamers that prefer to take their experience anywhere.
