DualSense-inspired design
The appearance and layout are based on the PS DualSense wireless controller. The white colour scheme and specific button symbols match the PlayStation console standard. The controller works with the PlayStation App and enables remote play from PS4 and PS5 consoles via the PS Remote Play feature on compatible phones. On Android, this edition is officially supported for the PS Remote Play app.
Game integration
The companion Backbone app unifies your installed games and streaming services into a single interface. Users get access to titles from Google Play, Xbox Cloud Gaming, or NVIDIA GeForce NOW all in one place. The system makes it easy to find game titles and launch cloud services without having to switch between multiple apps. The app helps you organise your game library and quickly access remote play features.
Second generation physical controls, power and connectivity
The second generation of this hardware introduces a redesigned D-pad for more precise responses in fighting and retro game genres. The controller's body features analogue sticks, action buttons, and ultra-wide analogue triggers. The design helps you maintain a firm grip while playing mobile games and provides precise control in action titles. Plugging directly into the phone's USB-C port ensures smooth and fast responses. The controller includes a pass-through USB-C port, supporting phone charging while you play. An integrated 3.5mm jack allows you to connect wired headphones with a microphone for voice chat. This lets you communicate with your teammates and charge your mobile phone at the same time without interrupting your gaming session. Connection is plug-and-play, with no lengthy pairing process needed.
Compatibility with phone cases
The second-generation design uses magnetic adapters that are easy for users to swap or remove completely. The adapters create more space to seat the phone, allowing you to attach the device even with a protective case on. Your phone stays firmly in place without needing to constantly remove standard cases before every play session. These sets of magnetic adapters are compatible with various case thicknesses.
Connection with other platforms
The device can also be used as a wired controller for external screens. When connected to a tablet or computer with a cable, it works in Play On Any Screen mode. This feature requires an active Backbone+ subscription and expands the hardware's use beyond just the mobile phone. This allows you to play on a compatible laptop, PC, or tablet using the same control interface and benefit from the low latency of a wired connection.
