Backbone Controllers
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This controller is the best mobile, portable controller I’ve ever tried. All of the buttons have an exceptional, quality feel to them. It’s the closest thing to a PS5 controller (without the haptic feedback).\nOnce you get your PlayStation system set up properly for Remote Play, it’s as easy as plug and play with this controller. It’s also an incredible plus that you don’t have to charge this controller, or add batteries…the controller is powered by your phone!\nAlso, for those who have been thrown off by the poor reviews:\n- There IS an Android controller coming out later this year.\n- Yes you CAN play your PlayStation games away from the home (it’s all based on how poor or good your Wi-Fi speed is where you’re located)\n- It comes with an adapter for iPhone 13’s.\n- You do NOT need the Backbone App to use this product. If your desire is to use it for PS Remote Play, just make sure you have the app downloaded on your device, that’s it.\n- Please read all that the controller can do before you buy.\n\nThis is in essence, the new PlayStation Vita of the Smartphone era!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Love the design but what if Apples new IPhone comes with a USB-C port?'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': "I wanted to write this review because there is a lot of misinformation being spread around. For one, people should know that you need a pretty good internet connection so that the game won't lag frequently since you're streaming it. PS Remote Play has always been like this. Having to play next to your system is a complete lie. I've played away from it multiple times, even while using mobile data. On another review, I read that it's a 7-day free trial before you have to pay for the $49.99 annual membership. First of all, the trial is a year long, not 7 days. Secondly, you don't need the membership, this is just to use the backbone app, which I don't see as a necessity tbh. Personally, I love everything about the remote except for the feel of some of the buttons. I was expecting it to somewhat feel like a PS5 remote but that might just be me. I hope this review helps in deciding whether to get it or not!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': "The controller itself is great. Squishy D-pad, clicky face buttons, smooth bumper buttons. Unfortunately the app requires a $50 yearly subscription after the free trial ends to be able to use the app functionality. You'd think after paying $99 for the device you woudn't get stuck behind a dlc paywall. I'd go with the Razer Kishi V2 which has a free app called Razer Nexus. Returned."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Awesome product it’s like a Nintendo switch but for PlayStation. Can be miles away from home connect my phone using the PS remote play app. And boom can access all my games. 10/10'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'If you have Xbox game pass you can play mobile, meaning just log into game pass account on iPhone and select stream gaming (good WiFi needed) and you good to go! You can play anywhere anytime! If you have PS plus you only can play remote, meaning you have to be around the PS console to access games. PS is behind the curve with that setup if you ask me. The backbone though is super dope and will do well. I have not tried with any other gaming services. 👍🏿\n\nThe back bone has lighting connection for iPhone. It can fit almost any iphone device up to 7 inches. Has nice snug fit and also come with a rubber lining for comfortable fitting when iPhone is placed in backbone…It grips the phone so it doesn’t fall out and avoid damage.\n\nIt provides access to audio plug for wired headphones but Bluetooth works it you rather that.\n\nRating 9/10\n\nIt’s damn near perfect but missing a little bit to get that 10. If it came with a screen attachment to magnify the screen picture it would have top the charts. That attachment is sold separate by other vendors 👍🏿'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'It’s really suck I thought it’d be awesome until I tried play with it. I can’t go out and play cause you have to stay next to PlayStation console for connection. When you go out and take controller backbone with you, you only play what’s on iPhone store… NOT PLAYSTATION STORE, for PlayStation store and play is only stay home and connect to your console. It’s piece of junk I could’ve buy it for $10 from Ross like Nintendo switch controller.. don’t buy it. Idk why they made it. My dog can sense that controller is really dumb and he think it’s a toy GOOD BOY!!!!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I’m confused by some of these reviews, saying you have to be on Wi-Fi, or the same Wi-Fi network as PS5. This is not true, you can easily turn on mobile data in the settings of the PS Remote play app.\n\nDepending on internet speed, it works really well! Highly recommend. Recently used on a vacation during travel time. Being able to take my PS5 games on the go is great!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Pros and cons:\n\nPros: very easy to use and has a great response.\nIt looks great and the buttons feel very clicks and nice. Does not feel cheap.\n\nCons: have to remove phone case every time to use it. Remote play does not work great for multiplayer games but it’s good for single player games but that’s not the fault of the system. I wish the iPhone 13 pro max adapter didn’t easily come off while you aren’t playing.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Great for ps4 -ps5 and feels the same as ps5 control I recommend it ..'}]
