11/17/2023 0 Comments Backbone playstation edition review![]() ![]() The controller doesn’t require any power, drawing everything it needs from your phone. ![]() On the iPhone, as soon as I started hitting buttons on the controller, it immediately prompted me to install it. You’ll need to install the Backbone app for it to work. A connector on the right hand side should be aligned with your phone so that it slots in. You place the phone in between the two side controller sections and the spring mechanism will then grip the phone securely in the middle. To insert the phone, you pull the Backbone One apart – a sliding mechanism in the middle ensures this opens up smoothly. The controller won’t work if your phone is in a case or has anything connected to the back, such as a Pop Socket. Inside is a paper safety guide, a piece of card that tells you how to set up the Backbone One, the controller itself and, if you have the iPhone version, an adapter (more on this later).

Apart from the colour, the main difference is that the ABXY buttons are re-labelled with the equivalent PlayStation symbols. The Backbone is a games controller into which you slot your smartphone, so you end up with the controller buttons on either side of the phone’s screen.Ĭompatible with both Android (with USB-C connection) and iPhone, there are two versions of the controller available – the black Standard model and a white PlayStation Edition. But is the gaming experience as good? Here’s our Backbone One review. Costing £99.99, it’s a damned sight cheaper than a full-blown console such as a Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch.
