NEW PlayStation Backbone One Controller - The Portable PS5

This is it, the official PlayStation Backbone One controller for the PS5. You can now remote play the PS5 and PS4 from your iPhone and get the ultimate experience with this controller. Could this be as good as a Vita 2?

Today we’ll get this unboxed, set up and run through the apps, games, pros and cons. As well as looking at the input lag and gameplay. This is a great alternative to the Project Q controller PlayStation just announced.

Thanks for watching, Chris.

I bought the Backbone PS5, tried it out, and almost immediately boxed it up to return. Product feels extremely solid. Very well made and feels premium. Worked great with my iPhone 12 Pro Max in terms of input lag (next to none). But after trying out a few games, I determined the controls are just simply too small for my hands. It’s not a 1:1 size ratio of a standard controller, and they ever so slightly changed the button layout to the point where muscle memory no longer applies. Thumbsticks feel like tiny toy versions of the originals. Aiming in FPS games is difficult. I wish I liked it more, but just can’t justify the $99 price tag if it isn’t 100% comfortable to play on.

Love mine personally. I had to increase the stick sensitivity a bunch but that’s really it. It’s super convenient. I have zero issues playing PS remote games other than the heavy MP stuff because the latency drops and it’s just not as good as the full sized PS5 controller so it’s tougher to be quicker with the control scheme.

I got this for my birthday recently and it’s AMAZING! Actually made me start gaming on my phone. Hated playing games on touchscreen, but now I play Cod and Apex and steam games regularly. And I have NO idea how they ported Alien Isolation to iOS, but they did and it looks and plays amazing.

In case you don’t know, you can sideload without jailbreak(with altstore or sideloadly) emulators for the psp, ps1, ps2(still unoptimized), gamecube, wii, and almost every generation before them on ios so this will most likely be your largest games library while also being your most portable one

AM I ABLE TO PLAY GTA 5 ONLINE? 2K MY CAREER? I SEE PEOPLE PLAYING THE SAME GAMES IN EACH REVIEW, IS IT WORTH BUYING ?

Came across your Chanel last week when I was looking for MacBook reviews, now I’m hooked, religiously checking for uploads, keep it up man!!

Fantastic review. I wish every product had a video like this.

Input lag is real in all cloud gaming, especially on remote play.

[LameduckAof]

OMG! Thank you for this video, I couldn't get mine to work away from home and thanks to you i didn't have the use cellular data switch on>>> thank you so much

that Mini is lookin' hella cute in that controller :D

If you avtivate remote play, be sure to also activate wake up on network connection or remotely on your ps5. Then go to your router from your pc and set up port forwarding to be sure will always be able to remote play any that is not home..

I personally believe Sony will never release a PSP 2.0 as the technology on iPhone and androids are amazing just look at fortnite, apex legends on max out graphics on mobile looks amazing and nowadays mobile ages run at 40 to 120 fps. It’s shame because I was a psp fanboy and would love to see a Sony switch equivalent but this controller really is a psp 2.0

Having carried a Bluetooth controller arround to play on my phone, this just looks like such the perfect controller to play on your phone! I like the analog triggers, the charger pass through, the HEADPHONE JACK, I really like this! ❤️

It’s 140 bucks in Canada before tax which is overpriced in my opinion. Remember you can also connect your actual PS5 controller to your phone via Bluetooth

Awesome review man, I've also got the controller and completely agree with your views on it, my only gripe with it (and bare in mind this is completely optional) is with the subcription scheme for the app, in order to use the app and its amazing, organised UI which keeps all your games on one place, you have to pay (imo) an expensive amount of money a year just to use it, it's like buying a smart TV only you can't use its UI/OS unless you pay a subscription (again optional as the controller can still be used without the app), I just found it tasteless as it comes across very anti consumer, however I can't fault the controller as it's an amazing piece of equipment and would still recommend it :D

[RobinB]

Nice! I was waiting for you to review this 👌 love the white look that matches the original ps5

Backbone PS5 💙
I bought one right before I watched this video

[xervantezxvi]

I bought Back bone and I’ve been using it for a while now and playing Resident Evil Village on iOS I am loving the game and the backbone I feel like backbone feels more comfortable in your hand more than a joy con to be honest and that u don’t need to buy tons all this accessories on backbone to play comfy it’s just Perfect for me so I’ll give a 10 out of 10 on backbone feels definitely good on your hand and the buttons too are so great I would to love see Switch 2 like this year 2024

Backbone PS5 - Looks great! Price is a hard sell but definitely the best experience. My only annoyance would be I wish that the ps5 could turn off the hdmi output when accessing it using remote play - why would you want the picture showing on your tv when you’re away from the house?!? (A big waste of electricity!)
