This has been $50 for backbone and $10 for case recently. In case anyone is curious an airpod pro case will fit in the case between the grips neatly, nice for travel or commuting. It's a solid slim little case, I was impressed with if

I had one before upgrading to a Ally X, its a nice controller, micro switch buttons are clicky, pass thru charging and uses the usbc for data. Bluetooth is laggy which you dont want.

My only gripe would be the joysticks are a bit on the small size but its given for the form factor/portability

I prefer Gamesir for mobile gaming. I have the G8 (USB-C) and G8+ (bluetooth), and they both have their use cases. When you catch them on sale, they cost the same as this Backbone deal.

I love my backbone one. I use it with my 13 pro max. I quit recently, but I played for hours/day for over a year when Diablo Immortal first came out. I did have an issue with the L1 button failing to work all the time, but Backbone took care of me.

I also use it for playing PS Remote Play, for which it works great!

Also, I have the case I got from the $10 deal and it's good quality

I had one of these, the price point is good for this - it feels like a quality product (i.e. not cheap build), but it's fairly uncomfortable - small joysticks. I didn't have fast/stable enough internet for good streaming to the PlayStation via remote play, so I ended up returning it. It's probably a hit or miss product for most people.

When this came out it was the best controller on the market. Time has passed and the Gamesir controllers, specifically the G8, destroys the Backbone One in everything. I picked up the G8 (usb-c) for $40 on sale on amazon. Since, i canceled my backbone one script which I only paid $20.. because the gamesir allows tethering to anything without a fee. Only rub about the gamesir g8 is that you have to update it on an android phone, the ios app doesn't update the firmware.
I also have this case, and it is OK.. I don't like it because if you squeeze it, you can here the thumbsticks inside clicking.. meaning that if i put too much stuff on the case in a backpack, it could be pushing in the thumbstick for hours, messing it up.
I would hardpass on this unless it was $20, but even then I wouldn't use it. The one I have now is just collecting dust.

I had one of these in the past and it worked well. I loved it could be used as a wired controller on my PC and how the small size and case made it portable. It was also the only mobile controller that was able to work with Genshin Impact on Android semi reliably. However, I didn't like the clicky buttons and I prefer the Gamesir G8 overall for its larger grips.
