Playstation version should have swapped d-pad and analog stick on the left side to make it "actually like playstation".... as it is, clearly, its just playstation themed/colored
My only issue with that would be the ergonomics in such a small device. You can get away with it on a full sized controller, but a phone like this would be weighted wrong. That said, they totally should've had a split, playstation style d-pad.
I love your channel. But is an offense to your viewers the fact that you don't mention that the Backbone App hides some funcionality behind a yearly suscription. Do Backbone pays you not to mention it?
Backbone actually tell the reviewers no to mention it. They keep it hidden until you install the App, and give you a "free" year so you wont remember to cancel it. This is a dark web tactic, and the subscription really doesn't give you anything but access to change the USB protocol and use de screen capture button. All the other perks are free stuff you can get somewhere else.
I can confirm that Backbone tries to hide the fact that they charge you for additional functionality. They used to hide it below a collapsible paragraph. But the backlash made them add an additional page. Even they then never mention some functionality is behind the paywall. And never mention the price. The worst part is that almost no reviewers mention the fact.
The one thing I don't like about the Backbone One is that you can't use a case with it, so I'm more inclined to use it at home where if it drops, it lands on the carpet. I admire what they did with the PlayStation branding and all, but the color just throws me off. The original Backbone One makes it look like you have one solid gaming device.
Man I just had the kishi v2 I had the backbone before it and ngl I prefer the backbone I can’t stand the kishi v2’s clicky buttons they feel so cheap and the dpad is clicky I’m refunding it todsy and getting the backbone again but the ps version
Something I learned recently: The PS5 streaming app works OUTSIDE of the home as well. To your point about being wired - I've tested both wired and wireless connections on my PS5, and I was surprised at how much of an improvement wired was.
I like the backbone but returned it when I learned you need to pay a subscription service for full functionality. Even if I can use the controller still for the most part without a subscription, it's a really shitty thing for a company to do and makes me feel like I've been scammed after I dropped $100 on a controller. Imagine if any other controller manufacturer did that. It's not like you need a subscription to use an 8bitdo controller for instance.
Backbone messed up when they didnt release the new playstation backbone controller for both ios and android. At this point im just gonna buy the razer kishi 2.
The audio jack alone is enough to make me switch from my Gamesir X2. That's literally the only the thing that was missing for me to see it as perfect. Idc too much about the screen mapper or analog triggers since I only use emulators, but that audio jack is worth the price imo.
Thanks for reviewing. I have the black Backbone controller I’ve had for about a year. It definitely makes me want the Playstation one also. Great looking controller. The Backbone controller is the best mobile controller I’ve tried.
funny how powerful ip13 is and the lack of emulators means most of the time we are just playing over the cloud, which makes the specs unnecessary anyway xD
This is so funny 🤣 it's clearly just a gimmick and people are falling for it. *2 IQ moment They will be disappointed once they spend all of their money on a iPhone + the Backbone and find out that they can't play PS5 nor PS4 games directly on their phone. 💀😆
I think it says something about Apple’s lack of phono/headphone jack when I look at this device as a work-around to using Bluetooth headphones. I use specific studio monitoring headphones for checking song mixes and I don’t want to use any other headphones for that. I am also aware of Apple’s adapter for that but this one is also a PlayStation controller.
I picked up one of these and my use case has been perfect. I personally gear the majority of my handheld gaming to in home use. Since I rarely every game outside of the house (unless I am traveling which I don’t do very often anymore). And for in home use, this has been perfect for PS Remote play. I hardly ever play shooters so I haven’t tried this with one. I mostly play RPG’s and it has been perfect. I also have pretty good internet too. So I don’t notice much if any lag unless I am moving up and down stairs. That and I also was given a lifetime subscription for free by backbone. So this has been fantastic for me. I tried it with Steam remote play and that was pretty good too. Gamepass was awful on my iPhone tho.
latency is still a no go for me after trying it. Steam link ain't bad for certain games, but shooters, fighting games, racing games etc just aren't good enough still.
I just bought one of these and it’s bad ass! Been playing stray on it as of right now. I really wanted some portable gaming but my steam deck is still on preorder but this is definitely worth it
The theme looks great. Not bothered about the d-pad in the wrong place but it looks like the adaptor for iPhone 13 still ‘lifts’ the phone. It gives me the impression that there is pressure on the port.
wrong place is subjective, the analog and d pad situation is literally just are you more used to xbox controllers or playstation ones. as someone who grew up with xbox, but now plays xbox, playstation, and pc, it's more like writing with your left or right hand while being ambidextrous rather than it being "right" or "wrong"
Looks sick! I would really like a new portable from Playstation. There are rumors that they are working on one. I would be a great vehicle for PS plus.
Honestly just grab a Steam Deck. All Sony’s first party titles on PC are in Verified status and play great right out of the box at default settings. Days Gone, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Death Stranding, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, Detroit Become Human, Spiderman Remastered is releasing in less than 2 weeks, and Uncharted Legacy of Thieves and Last of Us Remake are also set to be released in the coming months as well. Basically the closest thing to a Playstation portable we can get. And it plays literally everything else on top of it. You can even configure it to run both Game Pass and PS Plus Premium to have all the games on Sony’s streaming service as well as remote play. And you have emulators if you want to run Nintendo and retro games, including the Switch. Exceeded expectations across the board and with Sony putting most stuff up on PC lately it’s a great companion portable. Play them on PS5 at release and bring them with you when they release on PC a little later.
@@mandrews6282 yeah, I know. The next gen Steam Deck will be a beast. But the cheapest Steam Deck it has the same price as the PS5 digital. If Sony releases a portable I really don't think it will cost more than $299. That would be one of the best deals especially if it offers great performance.
I wasn't going to pick one up, but after seeing your review I did (used your affiliate link). We'll see how well it works on my Internet setup - that will be the deciding factor for me to keep it or not.
That seems to have been glossed over when he recommended the Kishi V2. I'm happily waiting until November, as the Backbone Android seems like the better buy in terms of price/features for Android users.
A $99.99 unofficial vita successor is an absolute steal! I’m buying it for my 13 Pro Max and PS5 combo whenever I’m over a family member’s home, and I feel bored. 😆
@@princegroove that’s sweet because I’m always at work with a lot of downtime 🤣… so I’m guessing that the games have to be digital on your ps5 to play or can you have the disc left in on rest mode?
Think this was a strange time to release this with a lighting connector with iPhones likely going to USB C in 2023. Has been rumoured to be changing for a while now
Nobody else is gonna notice this because it’s undetectable, but the phone was SLIGHTLY crooked for awhile at first and I couldn’t look away from the upper left corner lol
@@bruhname2072 pc isnt fully emulatable i mean exagear can run 32 bit games but we are far from being able to emulate AAA games like gta 5 and cyberpunk 2077
My problem with the backbone is that the back is so flat. After a long-ish session on it my fingers get sore (holding the rear the device). It needs more of a curved grip like controllers but I guess it takes somewhat of its portability away if it’s not flat. Remote play on the ps5 is a different story, I’m playing on a wifi (nothing fancy like wifi6) and it’s mostly unplayable. One day I’ll upgrade my wifi setup and connect with Ethernet but yeah it’s basically unplayable. I do use it for xcloud and it’s perfect
Backbone says they're shipping an Android version in November. But in pretty sure it's just the base black model. They need to release the Android version of this. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
I could definitely imagine Sony teaming up with Apple to create a game streaming service for iPhones that can compete with Xbox Cloud Gaming and Android.
I absolutely love the concept behind this. I really hope game streaming gets better. I can’t get passed the slight input lag. It’s not terrible but something I can’t stand :/.
@@Chi-Chi-Fy I don't think people would hate it but I think a lot of people would prefer PlayStation brought out a proper portable , you can stream PlayStation from the steam deck and also play red dead 2 on the bus too, you can stream from your phone too.

This is awesome for those that play so much on their phones and would have been cool if they had one for the recent ipad mini since its targeted for gamers too. But they did a cool job. Also looked like somepeople will have this as a hope for a new vita lol time will tell
TIPS: For Menu, hold down Backbone button. For PS5 Control Center, press Backbone button for 1 second. You can use Zoom on iPhone to fill screen on PS5 remote play (only good if game remains playable). If u have Backbone app access, there’s a 20% off offer). No case support, must use with bare phone.
I have the razer kishi for my iphone 13 pro max and i love how i can flawless stream xcloud in 5g while working and my phone still lasts all shift long (12 hours+++) even while the controller pulls power from my phone
Public service announcement/warning: The Backbone now has a $50 yearly subscription for the app to have functionality. They do not state the cost it anywhere on their website or app store. You get the first year free then need to pay yearly. Its basically a $100 controller unless you want to cough up the extra $50 yearly. I would recommend staying away and waiting for the upcoming Razer Kishi V2 (has a free app called Razer Nexus).
Yeah, the subscription sucks but I didn’t like how the Razer Kishi looked😅 and luckily for me I don’t a free lifetime subscription. Since the Bestbuy website said a free year but when I set it up, I was only given a month subscription. I then opened a support ticket, they asked for my receipt, serial number, etc and I sent screenshots. And they came back and just applied a lifetime subscription to my account.
I love this thing. It's sad that this thing is better suited for remote play than the PS Vita. The only gripe i have about this that there are no adaptors for phone with cases. I mean, every phone now are in cases and the fact that i have to remove my phone case to use this, it becomes a bit of a hassle. With that said, i guess its a small price to pay to get the best remote play experience for the PS5 on the Iphone.
Junk. Sony could have just enabled remote play for the PS5 on the Vita. The Vita is still one of the best handhelds out there thanks to the modding and homebrew community.
@@RadOpsTV Don't think so, if products like this are licensed... And if, competition has picked up lately, even if they were to use, let's say an AMD 6800u custom chip, there's a ton hitting the market now... Ah well, so it stopped at PS4 & Vita for me
@@RadOpsTV well the Steam Deck is the spiritual successor to the Vita. Can play PS One, PSP, PS2, PS3, N64, SNES, Genesis, Wii, Wii U and there is a Vita emulator in the works. Not to mention all of the x86 titles. Add in some overclocking and FSR 2.0 and it's a beast.
@@RadOpsTV can't decide whether to thumbs-up or -down on your true statement. But with everything coming up and considering all those streaming services, it just doesn't make sense to me.
@@rjakiel73 No, it is not. It is a shrinked laptop with a controller mashed into it. It is well done for the price, but in the end I am glad I "rage-quit" my reservation when they started to delay even further. The competitors are looking great as well, and I personally wouldn't mind to pay a little extra as long as I get what I really want. Just an unit with an 6800u would be great. And if they can't deliver, I'm patient at this point, save a little more and wait for the next Gen. Untill then my Vita is still alive.
The way you load the phone in made me cry. Please lay the camera end of the phone into the controller and then pull the other side out and then plug into the phone.
Loving your intro in this video! But I personally prefer the usual one because I am very, very familiar with the Sega Genesis version of Altered Beast.
You said that Razer teamed up with Backbone to make the Razer Kishi V2, but I cannot find any reference to this. It makes even less sense when you consider that Backbone is releasing an Android version later this year. Maybe they are paying royalty to Backbone for a patent but I doubt they would be teaming up.
@@NoWayAlexCollectz is it really dude????? bro don’t lie, bc i have a 13 pro max, and so this would be perfect! soon ill have to commute and hour every day for school, so this is literally game changing for me.
I have both the razer kishi and the earlier backbone. like the kisha better because I think it has a better form factor and can fit in the pocket better because it's foldable.
It’s dumb that PlayStation won’t do something like Xbox. I don’t wanna do remote play in my own house. I wanna go out and be able to play my games like Xcloud
I was sweating like crazy when he opened Genshin Impact! 😅 I thought the frames would drop or the phone would explode cuz only way I can play it is with the BlackShark Fun Cooler Pro 2. But then I remembered theres no GPU processing happening on the actual phone cuz it’s just streaming the PS5 😅
Playstation version should have swapped d-pad and analog stick on the left side to make it "actually like playstation".... as it is, clearly, its just playstation themed/colored

You get the first year free then need to pay yearly. Its basically a $100 controller unless you want to cough up the extra $50 yearly. I would recommend staying away and waiting for the upcoming Razer Kishi V2 (has a free app called Razer Nexus).
Yeah, the subscription sucks but I didn’t like how the Razer Kishi looked😅 and luckily for me I don’t a free lifetime subscription. Since the Bestbuy website said a free year but when I set it up, I was only given a month subscription. I then opened a support ticket, they asked for my receipt, serial number, etc and I sent screenshots. And they came back and just applied a lifetime subscription to my account.
I love this thing. It's sad that this thing is better suited for remote play than the PS Vita. The only gripe i have about this that there are no adaptors for phone with cases. I mean, every phone now are in cases and the fact that i have to remove my phone case to use this, it becomes a bit of a hassle. With that said, i guess its a small price to pay to get the best remote play experience for the PS5 on the Iphone.
agreed
I recently updated my vita to use remote play and it's decent but very outdated.
@@hullyk2039vita can’t remote play ps5
Death Stranding and new backbone is coming soon I can’t wait
Great video! Definitely planning on getting one.
Looks cool :) I like the choice for the sticks 😀
Something I didn’t see mentioned. Long press of the “backbone” button while in PS Remote play inputs the “PS” button on the PlayStation.
Careful if your Playstation is in a cabinet or something that it doesn't overheat - easy to forget if you're not in the same room.
Yo that new intro looks sweet
Junk. Sony could have just enabled remote play for the PS5 on the Vita. The Vita is still one of the best handhelds out there thanks to the modding and homebrew community.
Only thing that bugged me about Vita was not having L3 and R3.. other than that I agree with you 100%!
@@RadOpsTV Don't think so, if products like this are licensed... And if, competition has picked up lately, even if they were to use, let's say an AMD 6800u custom chip, there's a ton hitting the market now... Ah well, so it stopped at PS4 & Vita for me
@@RadOpsTV well the Steam Deck is the spiritual successor to the Vita. Can play PS One, PSP, PS2, PS3, N64, SNES, Genesis, Wii, Wii U and there is a Vita emulator in the works. Not to mention all of the x86 titles. Add in some overclocking and FSR 2.0 and it's a beast.
@@RadOpsTV can't decide whether to thumbs-up or -down on your true statement. But with everything coming up and considering all those streaming services, it just doesn't make sense to me.
@@rjakiel73 No, it is not. It is a shrinked laptop with a controller mashed into it. It is well done for the price, but in the end I am glad I "rage-quit" my reservation when they started to delay even further. The competitors are looking great as well, and I personally wouldn't mind to pay a little extra as long as I get what I really want. Just an unit with an 6800u would be great. And if they can't deliver, I'm patient at this point, save a little more and wait for the next Gen. Untill then my Vita is still alive.
I like the new intro!
The way you load the phone in made me cry. Please lay the camera end of the phone into the controller and then pull the other side out and then plug into the phone.
Hopefully they make a controller like this for Android users.
Coming out in Nov for android
Now we need that mobile ps plus mobile streaming app🤷🏽♂️
Good to know it still works with a screen protector on it.
Just ordered one to try it out. If it works really well at my job then I’m good
Hahaha
Loving your intro in this video! But I personally prefer the usual one because I am very, very familiar with the Sega Genesis version of Altered Beast.
The Kishi V2 doesn't have headphone jack, so this one wins.
Controller of my dreams right there
Misleading clickbait title, accurate description.... Why?
You said that Razer teamed up with Backbone to make the Razer Kishi V2, but I cannot find any reference to this. It makes even less sense when you consider that Backbone is releasing an Android version later this year. Maybe they are paying royalty to Backbone for a patent but I doubt they would be teaming up.
I like the new intro
When placing that adapter to make the room needed for the cameras.. it sits tilted.. and it might be stressing the lightning port male or female
wanted to get the vita for remote play, but since it doesn’t support ps5 remote play, i’m getting this!
Same reason I got it for and It’s working FLAWLESS with my iPhone 12 Pro Max
@@NoWayAlexCollectz is it really dude????? bro don’t lie, bc i have a 13 pro max, and so this would be perfect! soon ill have to commute and hour every day for school, so this is literally game changing for me.
Sony didn’t even bother to change the position of left Dpad+joystick.
Who needs Steam deck when you have this!
Im glad theyre finally making a backbone for android
Can't wait for the backbone android ver.
I want to use this in the park or airplane, switch can be played anywhere!!!!
Oh yay.....streaming games....my favorite way to play...
I have both the razer kishi and the earlier backbone. like the kisha better because I think it has a better form factor and can fit in the pocket better because it's foldable.
It’s dumb that PlayStation won’t do something like Xbox. I don’t wanna do remote play in my own house. I wanna go out and be able to play my games like Xcloud
Love your new intro....
I was sweating like crazy when he opened Genshin Impact! 😅
I thought the frames would drop or the phone would explode cuz only way I can play it is with the BlackShark Fun Cooler Pro 2.
But then I remembered theres no GPU processing happening on the actual phone cuz it’s just streaming the PS5 😅
The analog sticks being staggered on a PlayStation 5 branded device just makes no since
I'd be totally good if Playstation would come out with another handheld. Maybe they could make it like the switch.
I never got used to Xbox analogs being 1 up and 1 down..
Playstation always got it better by putting them in the same line.
Really love my backbone feels really quality. Makes me want to jailbreak my iphone for better emulation though
