Good Controller, Great Value, Nostalgia and ease of use
Years ago, Logitech released a wraparound controller powerbank for the iPhone 5s called the Logitech Powershell. With that device, I played 100s of hours on Terraria mobile, and to this day that has been my favorite way to play that game. Sadly Logitech never made another controller like that, and despite the additional thumbsticks, the Gamevice controller was greatly lacking in many areas. Now with high quality game streaming services, and a larger variety of iPhone games, I have gotten to test the BackBone on a few different games and have found it to be ... exceptional. This controller is lightweight without feeling like it compromises playability, or reliability. I have found this controller to be great with many games, like Terraria, Minecraft, Metal Slug, Sonic the Hedgehog, a swath of games on the XBox Gamepass Ultimate subscription, and it even works on the Delta emulator, meaning I can play my favorite console, the Gameboy Advance, on my phone with no subscription fees.
It's a great controller, and I am pinching myself that I only paid $25 for it.
