Backbone — Next-Level Play

I tried both rayzer Kishi and the backbone for iOS, and for me the backbone came out on top. That being said I would like to see a selection that has controller only games from any seller for direct sales rather than buying a plan for each one and then still have to pay for a game. Also the video size output is kind of small would like it to be the size of a Instagram photo. I want to be able to post my video directly to LinkedIn like I can with Instagram. I would like the start broadcast button to appear on screen window with game not go in and out. Need to Have two separate Instagram share buttons one for highlights and one for stories and or regular post. Make some accessories and updates to this before making a new one so original buyers dont feel jipped, and finally there are two pieces on the rayzer Kishi that make your phone feel snug and safe looks like the same shape as your sides maybe you guys can make those like an add on to purchase to make your phone feel more safe. Also some type of magnifying attachment is needed to attach to the backbone to make your screen look a little bigger I would buy that. Those are my suggestions all in all backbone best Mobile controller on the market razer Kishi a close 2nd.

The design is wonderfully streamlined. Only issue I have is that you have to scroll through all your games one by one to find the one you want if you have a lot of games, but the actual look of the games in this app is wonderful, kind of like a PlayStation Home Screen when the background of the app changes based on which game is highlighted. I wish there was an option in the menu or button on the controller that allowed you easy access to open up your entire library and sort by genre, alphabetically, game size, recently played, or recently downloaded, like on Xbox or steam (idk if PlayStation has that, I don’t own a PlayStation). Also, the ability to access this app with one button click is delightful, but I wish you could optimize all the buttons, not only changing the layout per app like it let you in your phone’s settings, but also choose if it takes multiple clicks or a longer press of the button. Basically, this app is wonderfully optimized and easy to understand, with many easy tips and tricks readily available, it just needs more customization, both in aesthetics and functionality. I’m not saying it doesn’t have style or ease of use, just that it is in a position to offer the user more control of their experience if that was seen as a priority. I love the app for what it achieves, it definitely wasn’t necessary for them to go out of their way to provide something like this, and I love the controller as well. I would love to learn how to design a product like this myself because I have plenty of ideas and products like this make me excited for offering more choice and freedom to the world.

This thing rocks. I have been using the Kishi for the last 4 months and thought it was a game changer. In a fashion similar to Apple, the backbone takes what others have done and perfects it. With that said, there are a few missed opportunities. First, others have said that this is the controller Apple would have built. While I agree, Apple would have made it white. If this is built for Apple users, then white would be popular and perhaps even preferred over black. Second, if the Backbone extended about an inch and half more it would also work with iPad mini 5. This would be a welcome addition for those who own both and would love to use a bigger screen. This option would make the Backbone a Switch killer. Lastly, a couple extra, potentially programmable, buttons like the Scuff Vantage would be nice. In that same vein, adjustable R2 and L2 like the Scuff Vantage that would allow the user to adjust the travel distance would be great. These additions would undoubtedly increase the cost, but some of us are willing to pay for it. Perhaps these options could be included in a pro version of the Backbone One. At the end of the day, these are all just wishlist items. The controller has changed gaming for me more than any console. I mainly use it for Stadia and it works flawlessly. Who needs to wait in line for a new Xbox or PS5 when this is a fraction of the price and, when combined with Stadia, becomes the perfect gaming solution at home or on the road.
