The lack of vibration and Hall-effect joysticks may be off-putting, and that price tag is no joke. But I love the attractive design, comfortable and reliable controls, and easy-switching, device-agnostic versatility. This gets my recommendation.
Pros
- Comfortable to use
- Robust and accurate controls
- Works with and without a phone case
Cons
- No rumble
- ALPS rather than Hall-effect joysticks
- High price

- The most comfortable Backbone to date
Cons
- Hall effect sticks would’ve been nice at this price
