These are the reasons I like my backbone with a 15 pro: 1. Build quality issues with portable emulators (had an rg35xx and rp3+ become unusable). 2. Convenient to play games on my phone and then add a controller if I need (playing phoenix wright with touch controls then a controller for hades). 3. Light, going on a euro trip soon and a backbone controller is much lighter then a bigger emulator. 4. While I don’t use it often, having remote play for ps5 and steam is great. 5. In the future we’ll hopefully see GameCube, ps2 and more ports to ios.

GameCube and PS2 emulators won't be coming to the app store unfortunately, because they depend on dynamic recompilation to get any reasonable speed. The app store guidelines still specifically state that dynamic recompilation is against their terms, and that's mostly because it allows for viruses and malicious software to slip through their detection. If they allowed it, app developers could inject code that breaks all of Apple's other rules after the app had already been approved and downloaded onto people's phones.

My very first smartphone was the Sony Xperia Play that had a slide out controller built-in. Roms were fun to play. It also had crash bandit pre installed. It was awesome!

I think there’s actually a lot of promise in this market, it’s just still so new and expensive relative to what you get. If you’re spending $800-1000+ on a powerful phone with a nice screen, and mobile gaming has got a lot of attention and development, it only makes sense to utilize it! With that said, $150 is too much for the compromises you mentioned. It still needs the one thing 99% of phones don’t have which is active cooling. Accessories exist for that purpose, but it’s still a nascent category and has its compromises, chief among which for me is that you can’t use your own case to fit the controller. To justify the hassle and bulk of carrying it around, it needs to be compatible with phones that have a normal size range of cases, provide active cooling, and at an affordable or sensible price.

The market is well over 10 years old, chief issues have been software support (Android updates especially frequently break old software and hardware compatibility) and the fact that gaming drains your battery very quickly.

I wish someone would make an actual controller phone case, just a case that you put around your phone and then you could just slide it out and have a controller and then slide it back in when your done. That simple. Imo bluetooth sucks I'd rather it be plugged into the USB C already and then the case have a port for USB c if you needed to charge it. I understand that might get quite bulky but personally that's what I want. I've tried using a Bluetooth Controller but there's just way too much lag it's like 1 second lag between clicks and it's awful. I wanted a Razor Kishi V1 but when I ordered it they gave me a V2 and I didn't like having to take my phone case completely off the V2 to use it so I returned it and never did manage to get a V1. I heard on V1 there was a rubber peice you could remove to use it without taking off your case and I liked how it folded up into a combat form because I found a case online for it to put it in for travelling.

The 2nd edition Backbone for my iPhone 15 makes sense to me because I want to give mobile gaming a shot WITH a better experience for my hands. I played with the idea of a controller attachment because I have controllers laying around but having a dedicated phone controller - that also works on my PC (When you tried to connect the kishi, backbone has native support using the usb-c port at the bottom of the right side of the controller) is a more viable portable solution for travel that works better than bringing a separate controller with me. Perfect for a long trip and I have my laptop or my tablet - I can use it like any other controller and works.

It is absolutely convenient to have a mobile phone and a handheld console with you! Who tf wants their gaming interrupted by a text or a phone call? Nobody.

I feel like the reason you don't understand the market for that controller is because you HAVE all those other handhelds. Plenty of people have expensive and powerful phones because of carrier subsidies, but no gaming handhelds at all. In that case, it seems pretty easy to justify spending under $200 on an attachment for your phone instead of spending even more money on a handheld that will STILL be substantially less powerful than a modern top of the line smartphone. On top of that, if you're the kind of person who upgrades your phone every few years, you get to bring your controller along with you even more powerful device.

I think another point towards dedicated handhelds are that phone storage is just very precious. A ton of phones don't have expandable storage (i think this is abhorrent but that's another conversation) so if you download apps and games you're taking tons of space. My little RP4 pro is nice cuz I'm not wasting my phone's battery and it has its own storage so i can put all my games there. I like phone controllers but i would rather have my phone for phone stuff and my gaming handheld for gaming stuff.

I ended up settling on playing games on my phone using an 8bitdo SN30 Pro while traveling. Small enough to toss in a carry on bag and not taking up a lot of space while also being a good controller input for games like Genshin etc when I'm away from my PC.

I bought a 50$ phone with a snapdragon 845 and use it as a dedicated gaming device. phones are so plentiful and cheap im glad there are controllers for everything from heavy gaming ergonomics to pocketable phone controllers.

A caser that works with all the controllers is the Pitaka Aramid. Expensive, but worth it.

The controller that eternal progression is making is really convenient. It's pocket-able and Magsafe compatible, it means, you don't have to remove your case. Just attach or detach on-the-go.

One scenario I see myself using my phone with a controller like the Backbone One instead of a portable emulation machine like a Steam Deck or a PlayStation Vita is RetroAchievements, specifically while on the go. Those require you to be connected to the internet, and then running the game on the phone and strapping the controller - even if you need to remove the case, which is the case of the Backbone One, at least the old generation I have here - is more convenient then getting your phone, setting up a mobile hotspot, getting your other emulation device and connecting to it.

For phone controllers, the Nacon Mg-x Pro (the xbox one) is so good. Genuinely console feeling buttons and sticks, holds my Fold 5 perfectly

I rock the gamesir x2 because it connects via bluetooth and has a ridged back so my phone feels supported. Being able to use it as a controller for my PC when I was in the hospital was brilliant, and tossing it in my bag takes up less space than my Switch Lite

Great video! For me I use my razer kishi v2 for streaming my pc with moonlight. It's great to be able to play jrpg's when out and about or when I'm at home and just want to play on the couch instead of my pc desk. Sure I can use my Steam Deck for that but sometimes I just want a smol device.

Remember to keep the guy behind the M-Con on your radar, dude’s got a crazy good concept for a mobile controller that attaches to the back thru MagSafe and I think it’s gonna blow anything else outta the water!

You should look into the mcon controller. It looks like an promising project. I really like the format

Two things that make the Razer Kishi Ultra my preference over a ROG Ally: 1. A Foldable Phone 2. Moonlight/Steam Link to remote into your gaming PC If you already have a gaming PC, and especially if you have a foldable android phone, the Kishi ultra is the device for you. I returned my ROG and now play on a larger screen and delay of around 10ms or less if I'm on the same local network as the gaming PC (I really don't travel much I just like playing handheld in bed) You should look more into remote gaming! It's much stronger than cloud gaming. The key is to remote into your own hardware

I'll be expecting your review of the M-Con 😎

The Scuff Nomad seems sweet.

The biggest barrier to mobile gaming has been software support, software support breaks frequently, especially on Android and it's difficult or impossible for older mobile games to run on modern OSes. This doesn't even get into other massive issues like the app stores, though that would be solvable on Android with a third party app store. The hardware has been here for a long time, we just need the software to settle.

AyaNeo Pocket S was so close to being the best option as a phone

Galileo G8 with the Galaxy Fold 4 has been pretty stellar. Fold direction is more palatable with the larger controller, and i already don't use a case with it usually. Plus it has a PS mode as a quick swap feature so its compatibility is hard to beat.

I missed a side-to-side comparison with the gamesir G8, witch is the more similar in form factor I've enjoyed a time with the RP3+, the first gen kishi, and a generic bt telescopic controller that got some recommendations a few years back, but the gamesir G8 was the first one that got me really going for it and enjoying steamlink more in addition to emulators. It's a bit bulkier than the RP3+ and other controllers (just like the kishi ultra), but there is plenty space in my backpack and my phone is a more capable device anyway. Plus, I enjoy the xbox-like shape, even for retro gaming, the lower dpad is no issue to me

Since I still use a Huawei P30 Pro as my main phone for 5 years now, the Razer Junglecats are the way to go. Not great for ergonomic, but super portable.

I was just looking into finally getting a mini emulator device when I saw someone post their funky phone solution: an 8bitdo micro with a suction cup patch on the back, stuck onto their phone screen (for portrait mode emulation). So I ordered the controller and an adhesive suction cup patch to do the same for myself haha. Fingers crossed it'll suit my needs.

Maybe if you tried the bsp d8 or d10 you would change your mind since they are very cheap and have pretty much every feature you could ask for

The backbone is great. its super comfortable and works well with RetroArch. Shame about the clicky buttons though. im a huge fan of soft touch DS Lite Style.

I've been using the gamesir g8 with my s24 ultra, and I gotta say for emulation, and for game streaming, I kinda love it. Having to take it out of the case does suck though

Canola oil was originally used for machine lubricant

i mainly turned my phone into something that does handheld games up to psp and consoles up to the n64 (minus those n64 decomps) my steam deck is mostly for pc games and gamecube and up and 3ds for ds and 3ds (i can’t stand using a single screen device for dual screen games)

❤ thanks again.

All a controller needs is 2 analogs and 4 shoulder buttons, but the analogs under the phone and the triggers over it, the rest of the buttons can be mapped into the screen, for the "feeling" you can have a screen protector with some groover where the buttons would be, using gyroscope is a must, you get the camera very sensible and to have a better aim set up the gyroscope to give that last adjust before a headshot.

Not gonna lie. I was expecting it to be over 200.

In six to twelves months it'll be half price or less. I bought a V2 off of ebay for less than $30.

Who else is here for the flawless tri-state commercial parodies

“Why dont i make my phone a console?” M-con aint drop yet

I have a GameSir G8 Galileo and its great, its also like $100 so a bit over priced but good build quality

I used the original Razor Kishi with my Galaxy S20 for emulation after college and while I was in grad school since my gaming laptop died as soon as I finished undergrad. It was a good way to save money while in grad school, the OG Kishi being more convenient for putting in my school bag, ready for a quick break during long days of writing and research. Since then, I upgraded to a Steam Deck OLED. I'm not quite living out of a suitcase anymore but the Deck has made gaming more convenient and the screen is amazing. I'm finally able to go through my Steam backlog of over a decade (lots of sales), and do some emulation all in one beautiful device. I only see myself going back to my phone for emulation when I upgrade next year to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, specifically for certain DS and 3DS games where touch is essential. I will use the included phone stylus or perhaps I will buy a used 3DS to play DS and 3DS roms.

Honestly i kinda found a niche with this controllers. I need a secondary controller when my friends are in my house, or i want to play with my brother or family. But I also want to play games with my Moto G200 when I just do not want to go to the pc. I bought 2 BSP-D3 that works with Bluetooth and USB-C and they are nice. Now I bought a G8 Gallileo, which doesn't have a easy way to connet to pc (is funny how the 8$ bsp-d3 has usbc for data and the 55$ not), but it sort of can via a usb female to female, then usbc to usbc. So, I think for a secondary controller that you can use in everything they are actually really nice.

I have the Razer Kishi Ultra coming tomorrow and I have an iPad mini. I'll tell you how it goes.
