Backbone One PlayStation Edition Lightning iPhone Controller

Lots of iPhone owners want better controls for their games. That’s where the Backbone One PlayStation Edition comes in. This mobile controller snaps onto your phone and makes everything feel like a real console.

The design takes cues from the PS DualSense, so the buttons and layout are spot on for PlayStation fans. And it works great for streaming games from your PS5 or PS4 via Remote Play.

But it doesn’t stop there. You can also use it for Xbox Cloud Gaming, GeForce NOW, Apple Arcade, or any App Store game that supports controllers.

Setup couldn’t be easier—just attach it to your iPhone, and it connects instantly through Lightning. No charging the controller itself, since it pulls power from your phone. However, there’s pass-through charging, so you can plug in and play longer. Plus, a 3.5mm jack lets you use wired headphones.

Why Gamers Pick the Backbone One PlayStation Edition

Many people choose this for Lightning iPhones, like models up to the 14 series. It comes with adapters for better fit on larger phones or slim cases.

The feel is premium—responsive sticks, clickable buttons, and hall-effect triggers that last.

• Official PlayStation licensing with authentic button symbols
• Direct Lightning connection for zero lag
• Pass-through charging and 3.5mm headphone support
• Backbone app to launch games, record clips, and chat

It folds up small for pockets or bags. And for this bundle, you get that extra $25 PSN credit—perfect for grabbing a game or add-on.
