A Passable Handheld Option
The Backbone is an inexpensive option for mobile gaming. It works fine for what it is. It's not right end by any means. Just a simple way to play your games on mobile. Unlike the PlayStation Portal, you can use connect the Backbone to your console just by using the mobile data on your phone. Or you can use any Wi-Fi spot available. You aren't just limited to using it for PlayStation games, either. You can use it to play almost any game from Google Play and such. That being said, this is definitely a third part device that's approved by Sony. It's not set up like the Dualsense Controller for the PS5. Some had said that the Backbone's buttons feel cheap. But honestly, they felt fine to me. That also said, I didn't care for the Backbone all that much. It's just okay to me. I decided to return it. I feel like the 100 dollar price tag isn't totally justifiable for a device that should probably cost like 404 of 60 dollars at best. Overall, not a bad investment if you're perfectly fine with a device that's not totally high end. It'll do the job in the end.

Sold wrong generation
Controller felt nice and comfortable to play. Feels like holding a lighter Nintendo Switch with how thin the controllers are. However despite Target saying it is Gen 2, they sold me a Gen 1 based on the SKU number found on the bottom of the box above the barcode. So to help avoid buying the wrong generation model, please refer to the SKU list I included that is also available on Backbone's website.
