Five MORE Reasons Not to Buy a Backbone

The Backbone is a great device, but it’s not without issues. I’ve already talked about some of its flaws in a recent video, but since publishing I’ve discovered some new problems that I discuss here.

Hey everyone, I need to issue an update on point #1. The Backbone people have since released a PS version for Android that works with the official PS app. Didn’t think they would do it, but they did. So I stand corrected.

[shirkrin]

In all fairness but all of these points except for the remoteplay part on android are actually listed on the Backbone official homepage including the optional subscription.

Clear & Concise review. Android users have to think twice before making disappointing purchase decision. GJ.

Great videos, just finished watching all your backbone videos. Out of everything, the real reason I don't see myself getting a backbone, is that I don't want to take off my case. I use a one of those two part cases with a rubber inner section and a hard plastic shell, and it's a pain to get it back on.

I’ve been using this backbone one for a while. In my opinion the price should be lower than ps5 controller since it doesnt have adaptive trigger and heptic feedback. But i rly love this accessory. I could play my ps5 and xbox game anywhere now as long as the internet connection is fast and stable. It could easily fit in my pocket. 80 percent of my time im gaming with this backbone although i have LG oled to play with. Maybe im too old to play games for long hour to sit on the couch though. Now i can play it during lunch time at work. Playing on the bed and also while travelling. This thing is fantastic!

I've been on the fence about buying one of these, thank you for your videos.

If I'm being honest $39 a year isn't to bad. It's only 19 more than the $20 a year the base version of Nintendo switch online is.

i know u can play gamepass games, is it possible to stream your own games that you own?

[bigjaeroque]

I love my backbone actually…but man every single game you showed looked awesome! List please 🙏🏽

[omartabaza]

I can buy one for around 80 bucks should I do it I want it for my redmi 13c(android)

[jacksonpoole]

i really do like my backbone!! i used it to do most of my replay of God of War last year when I was on lunch breaks at work. however, my only big complaint is that there’s no substitute button for the touch pad on the DualSense controller. Most games I play require pressing that a lot, and it’s very frustrating having to double tap my touch screen to do so, which makes all the on screen buttons pop up again 😅

[renadalzadjali]

Hey bud! I have a question….does the backbone have all the features of the ps? Aside from games like ps party and online gaming.

[Indiegamer-ek]

I think I’ll just stick with my switch…

[raptorking]

Do you need to have Xbox game pass to access the cloud gaming on the backbone

[pacoag]

Can it be used as a 2nd controller when playing with friend in local split screen?

[jknk]

Ok. Any recommendations if not the blackbone for android ?

[TheLisandro]

Have you done any comparison videos between these controllers?

[NEOMERCER]

There's finally an official PlayStation edition for Android. I just got the backbone today and it's really nice to be able to use remote play on android using the official app without having to use a controller and a clamp. There's some things I like about my gamesir x3 better though, but I need more time with the backbone.

[amid-]

do you think playing remote play could effect on my iphone battery health?

[iyk]

is there any difference between buying the backbone from the amazon website or the official backbone website?
