Featured Press Reviews
“I have spent as much time with Apple mobile hardware and the people that have created it as probably anyone on the planet so please understand that I don't say this lightly but this really feels like the game controller and network Apple would have made if it understood competitive games.”
“If you enjoy mobile games, or you find yourself wishing your iPhone gaming was more robust, Backbone is a fantastic $100 investment. I've long defended mobile gaming as a legitimate way to play. Right now, it's my favorite.”
“9/10! On its face, the Backbone One is just a controller — and a very good one, at that. But with software enhancements that take advantage of iOS in some clever ways, Backbone makes the iPhone feel like a bona fide gaming platform that I want to remain a part of.”
Customer Reviews
A joy to use
Backbone has done what few companies their size (or much bigger) have accomplished. Solid hardware + thoughtful software = a great gaming experience on the iPhone.

Game changer
Absolute game changer accessory and gaming platform. Effectively turns your iPhone into a top tier gaming device. Who needs a switch anymore? The thoughtfulness and execution of the Backbone app cannot be stated enough — seamless to start games using the controller, drop into a party with your friends, record and share gameplay and even discover new games. Legit feels like something Apple made in an alternate reality where they were actually serious about gaming lol. The only thing I wish I could do more with this controller is fly drones, and control cameras in Unreal Engine for virtual production.

Incredible
I've been lucky enough to get an early backbone. It is insane. Completely changes mobile gaming. Feels more like a console than a controller. The party function is gonna be a game changer.

Game changer
This thing is literally a game changer for mobile gaming. Not only is apple pushing more developers to add controller support to games, but I can also stream games from my computer using Rainway and play with the controller. Amazing!
