Good controller. Connects and does as it should. However, do not let the controller retract on its own. Carefully, with two hands, support the controller as it retracts to its default position. Otherwise, the controller will stop working due to a damaged ribbon flex cable. I had to repair mine already because of carelessness. Quite a few times I would let the controller retract forcefully and the last time it happened the left side stopped working completely.

(Review from a hardcore console gamer.) I've tried a few mobile game controllers in the past, and they've all had the same problem: they couldn't fit my big phone with a thick case on it. And I don't have the patience to remove my phone case every time I want to game. So I gave up on the idea altogether. Fast forward a few years, and I really want to take advantage of Xbox Cloud Gaming on my (now even bigger!) phone, so I start researching mobile game controllers again, and come across this beauty. Here are my thoughts after a month of surprisingly heavy usage. Pros: - Fits my huge Galaxy S23 Ultra with a thick case (the Grip from dbrand) PERFECTLY! 🤌 - Small form factor, yet still manages to feel comfortable in your hands (mine are slightly larger-than-average), even during long play sessions; it feels like a slightly smaller Nintendo Switch. - Satisfyingly "clicky" buttons, analog sticks, triggers, and bumpers. The analog sticks are slightly longer than the Switch's Joy-Cons, making these feel better. - Haptic feedback feels really cool (if your game supports it)! - The controller is very light, but doesn't feel cheap. - The app (which isn't required to use the controller) is actually very sleek and handy if you give it a chance. Lots of customization options, including the ability to map touchscreen controls (if you subscribe) for games that don't officially support a controller. - It barely uses your phone's battery. I've literally played for HOURS without seeing any hits to my battery. - Perfect for Game Pass streaming or Xbox remote play. I've actually started using the services even MORE thanks to this controller. - You can charge your phone through an easy-to-access USB-C port on the bottom right of the controller. Cons: - I haven't found any games that support haptic feedback yet, although the majority of my gaming is on Game Pass. - The cooler app features (like the touchscreen control mapping) are locked behind a paywall. - Free users have to dismiss an offer to subscribe to the app EVERY TIME you open it. Mostly just annoying, but still. - If my phone were just half an inch longer, I'd have difficulty fitting it into the controller's brackets. If my next phone is bigger, this may no longer work with it. - This is nit-picking, but I feel like the Menu and Options are buttons are oddly placed, like they're practically on the corners of the controller. However, I quickly got used to their positions after a few minutes of play. - Nit-picking again, but a basic case (sold separately) should be included with the controller since it's so thin and I'd be afraid to throw it in a backpack without any kind of protection. This is THE BEST mobile game controller I've used, and it's really led me to take advantage of and enjoy great gaming sessions from literally anywhere! Highly recommended. 👍

Overall this is a high quality product and works well. Pros: -Responsive controls -Familiar x-box style layout Cons: -Not compatible with protective phone cases. I have a protective "armor" phone case by Spigen and it will NOT connect to the USB jack while the phone is in the case. The USB connector just Isn't long enough when cased. I bought an angled USB-C extension cable from Amazon which "works" fine, but then you have to have your phone barely in the top of the dock. It functionally "works" just fine, just not as secure as it should work. -Small handles. If you're used to playing with a standard x-box/PC/Playstation controller, the handles are pretty small for an adult and holding the controller is a little awkward. I suppose you could 3D print "palm swells" to work, but I believe you shouldn't have to. Overall impression: -The controller does the job. The build quality seems fine, it works well and allows easier gaming experience than relying on the standard phone touch screen controls. Zenless Zone Zero is playable just fine (the reason I bought the controller), but the small grips diminish the pleasure of use for extended gaming sessions. Is it worth the cost? If you can get it on sale, sure. Does it work? Yes.

Please do not buy this controller. It WILL break. Do some searching and you will find countless stories of the same problem - the ribbon cable that runs through the center will become crimped/fatigued and cause malfunction of buttons on the left side of the controller. I sent the message pasted below to support and received an AI response. I am going to attempt repair since I already own it, but I cannot recommend BACKBONE. My email: "I bought a BACKBONE One iOS USB-C controller on *** from Amazon. The Amazon order number is ***. The UPC is ***. The ASIN (whatever that is) is ***. I only ever used it for a single game last year for which it performed flawlessly. I set it down for about a year and just recently tried it again for a different game. It worked fine for a couple sessions, then the left buttons stopped working correctly. After searching this problem online, I am convinced the behavior perfectly matches what seems to be a common problem of the communication ribbon suffering fatigue/wear from repeated opening/closing. This is disappointing because I don't feel that I actually cycled it that many times. I understand that I am outside the Amazon return window and probably any warranty it may have come with. I found a good video on how to replace the broken cable and I am willing to attempt it. However, I wanted to hear back from BACKBONE support before I open the device and risk accidental further damage. The video I watched said the third party ribbon replacements tended to be slightly longer than the stock ribbons and tougher to fit in the shell, so even if you just had some guidance on the best replacement part, I would appreciate it. I have otherwise been very pleased with the quality of the controller. Just disappointed that a $100 device only lasted me through one game. Thank you for any help or guidance you can provide." I received an AI response asking me to troubleshoot by updating iOS, the BACKBONE app, cleaning the ports, etc. It also said they do not assist with replacement parts or repair procedures. I probably would not have been so bothered had I not paid a premium price for a premium product. I feel duped by the overwhelming number of positive reviews despite so many people having the same problem I did.
