I tested the PlayStation model, which features four glossy face buttons labeled circle, square, triangle, and X, while the standard version has A/B/X/Y face buttons arranged in the Xbox configuration.

The Android version will work with the iPhone 15 and its different versions via their USB-C ports.Įither Backbone One model is available as a standard, black controller or a white, PlayStation-licensed variant, and they both have Xbox-style, off-angle analog sticks. The Android version works with any USB-C-equipped phone running Android 10.0 or newer, including the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Google Pixel 2. The iPhone version we tested works with all iPhones from the iPhone 6 onward, and includes an adapter for the larger iPhone 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max, 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max. Rubber pads on the two controller halves hold your phone in place. In a nice touch, the Backbone includes a port for pass-through charging and a headphone jack. A plug, Lightning for the iPhone version and USB-C for the Android version, resides in the right controller half. Closed and without a phone in it, the controller measures 3.7 by 6.9 by 1.3 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.9 ounces. The Backbone One is a two-section controller on a springy arm designed to clamp around a compatible phone, similar to the Razer Kishi. At $99.99, it’s expensive compared with standard controllers (or the $69.99 PowerA Moga XP5-X Plus, our Editors' Choice), but it's a compact and comfortable pad for playing games on your handset.
The Backbone One is a snap-on controller you attach to an Android phone or an iPhone that adds a modern gamepad's physical buttons. That’s especially an issue for game streaming services that let you play titles intended for physical gamepads-glass simply doesn’t feel as good as analog sticks. Mobile games are incredibly popular, but they're limited by finicky touch-screen controls with little feedback.
