The L1 button is a slim, clicky, tapered button that gently contours with the shape of the controller. Both buttons are extremely low-profile – almost flush with the face of the device – and have a bit of a mushy press to them. Below the D-pad is an options button and a dedicated button for screenshots and video recording. It’s not clicky like everything else on the controller, but instead almost silent with a satisfying press.

With an iPhone 12 attached it’s just over 300g, or roughly the weight of a Nintendo Switch Lite. It’s extremely lightweight, weighing just 138g. Ergonomically, the Backbone is comfortable to hold – albeit better suited for smaller hands. It’s also extremely low-power, taking less energy than a pair of Lightning-connected headphones. The direct connection allows for almost no latency when playing games, bringing it closer to a console experience.

There’s no Bluetooth settings to worry about or pairing that needs to take place – it just works. To connect it, you simply pull the two ends apart and plug your iPhone into the Lightning connector. It features two independent sides of the controller, each roughly the size of a Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controller, held together by an expandable middle section. Backbone One – Design and FeaturesThe Backbone One is aptly named due to its dog bone-shape that attaches directly to your iPhone.
