Q: Do this work for the iPhones that take a regular iPhone charger ?

submitted by Lala - 7 days ago
  • A: Hi, thank you for reaching out about Backbone Pro Mobile and Wireless Gaming Device (USB-C) - Pink. No, the Backbone Pro Mobile and Wireless Gaming Device (USB-C) - Pink will not work with iPhones that have a Lightning port because it is designed specifically for devices with a USB-C connector. Backbone controllers connect directly via their port and do not support the use of a USB-C to Lightning adapter. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: Does this work with an iPhone 14 Pro Max

submitted by Perfect for pictures - 18 days ago
  • A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Backbone Pro Mobile and Wireless Gaming Device (USB-C) - Pink. That is a critical compatibility question! The Backbone Pro Mobile and Wireless Gaming Device (USB-C) is not compatible for direct connection with the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Here is the breakdown of why, and what your options are: ❌ Reason for Incompatibility (The Port) The fundamental issue is the charging port: Backbone Pro (USB-C): This version of the controller is designed for phones that have a USB-C port (including the iPhone 15 series and newer, and most Android devices). iPhone 14 Pro Max: This phone uses the Lightning port connector. Since the physical ports do not match, you cannot physically dock the iPhone 14 Pro Max into the USB-C version of the Backbone Pro for a low-latency wired connection. ✅ Your Two Options You have two ways to use a Backbone controller with your iPhone 14 Pro Max: 1. Buy the Lightning Version (Best for Wired Play) You need to purchase the model specifically called the Backbone One (or Pro) for iPhone (Lightning). This model has the older Lightning connector which will plug directly into your iPhone 14 Pro Max's port, providing the best, lowest-latency wired gaming experience. 2. Use the USB-C Version Wirelessly (Sub-Optimal) The Backbone Pro is also a Wireless Gaming Device (via Bluetooth). How it Works: You can connect the USB-C Backbone Pro to your iPhone 14 Pro Max via Bluetooth. You would prop your phone up (or use a separate phone clip) and hold the controller separately. Drawbacks: You lose the signature "phone-in-controller" handheld form factor, and Bluetooth introduces slightly higher latency compared to the direct wired connection. Recommendation: If you want to use it as a true handheld console, you must purchase the Lightning connector version of the Backbone controller. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: Is this phone compatible with the 17 pro max?

submitted by Jamie - 1 month ago
  • A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Backbone Pro Mobile and Wireless Gaming Device (USB-C) - Pink. That is a forward-looking question! Since the iPhone 17 Pro Max is a future model, we rely on the controller manufacturer's stated compatibility for upcoming devices. Yes, the Backbone Pro Mobile Gaming Device (USB-C) is compatible with the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The Backbone Pro is designed to work with the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The only point of friction you might encounter is achieving a perfect fit if you use a bulky protective case. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Q: Can it work on z fold 7

submitted by Lisalynn1974 - 2 months ago
  • A: Hi, thanks for reaching out about Backbone Pro Mobile and Wireless Gaming Device (USB-C) - Pink. Wired Play (USB-C): Yes, it can connect via USB-C. Unfolded: Works, but may feel bulky/unbalanced. Folded (Cover Screen): Likely requires removing the magnetic adapters from the Backbone for a proper fit. Wireless Play (Bluetooth): The Backbone Pro also has a Bluetooth wireless mode. This eliminates any physical fitting issues, allowing you to use the controller with the Z Fold 7 in any configuration (folded, unfolded, or even standing on its own) as a standard Bluetooth controller. If you have any additional questions, we welcome you to contact MyTGTtech at 833-848-8324 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

Great controller

Perfect! I just started gaming on my phone and hated using the screen as a controller. This has made gaming more fun, less fatiguing, and more accurate. The color goes well with my pink phone case. Unfortunately, I do have to switch out my phone case every time I want to use it because my more protective everyday case doesn’t fit. Otherwise, I love it.

Horrible lag and quality!

Awesome gaming accessory

Love this accessory! Fits well in my hands without giving me fatigue or cramping while gaming on the go. Wayyy better than trying to use my phone to game by itself for games like COD. Not too bulky, so easy to carry with you and the kids just stuff it in their hoodie pockets and go. Easy to use. Highly recommend.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! And so happy with PINK!

Aboslutely love this device. Been eying a Backbone for a while now and bought this when I saw the pink device come out. I didn't realize they had a Pro version and I am so surprised at how much I like it. Comforatble, don't notice any lag, and haven't had the need to charge it yet. Love it!
