Description

Backbone turns your iPhone and iPad Mini into the ultimate gaming device.

■ Play any game or service that supports game controllers.

The Backbone One controller works with services like PS Remote Play, Xbox Game Pass (xCloud), Apple Arcade, Xbox Remote Play, Google Stadia, and Amazon Luna.

It also works with games like Call of Duty: Mobile, Minecraft and Genshin Impact.

Press the Backbone Button to bring up the app and launch into your favorite games that support controllers from one place.

■ Record, edit, and share epic gaming clips

Backbone One has a built-in Capture button that allows you to easily screen record or screenshot gameplay and share directly to social platforms like Instagram Stories and iMessage, all directly from your mobile device.

■ Never miss a moment

Hold the Capture Button to bookmark a moment when recording. Forgot to bookmark? Once a video is captured, Backbone’s app helps you identify your most action-packed moments automatically, allowing you to show off your best moments and highlights with ease.

■ Party with your friends

With Backbone’s Rich Presence feature, you can get push notifications when your friends start playing games on Backbone, making it easy to join the action in real-time. Once you see a friend online, you can link up for voice chat inside the app and move from game to game, seamlessly.

L2 and R2 not working on Mac

Amazing controller, amazing app!
Love it. And the addition to play on different devices was an amazing feature. However, it works on my MacBook when using ps remote play… but L2 and R2 do not work at all. So impossible to play most PS4 games on my Mac… as those are most important in most of the games I play.
All buttons Work great on iPhone but not the MacBook unfortunately. Hopefully updates will sort this out.

Not Worth it?

The only gripe i have for this Backbone is it has a Fee for using there app.
And the fee is quite expensive.
Not 100% buttons are not working well.
i play Diablo Immortal, i need to press the screen of my iPhone because there’s no other way you can press it.

Recording and screenshots implementation is terrible

The controller has 2 buttons that are basically useless, even with the app.
The Smart Recording feature should use the build-in rolling clips / captureKit feature instead of the current custom solution that relies on screensharing (For example with xbox controller, if i press the share button iphone natively records the last 15 seconds without need for apps)

The screenshot and home buttons do not work without the app,
and with the app, the screenshots and recordings are stored on-device and not automatically removed after uploaded to icloud, this hogs up storage space way too much.

Please allow for the screenshot/share button to be remapped instead of asking to install this app
