Which games are compatible?

It is compatible with most games that support controller input, including almost all cloud gaming services and a wide library of App Store titles.

Does it have a headphone jack?

Yes, it features a 3.5mm headset jack for convenient audio pass-through.

Troubleshooting

Remove any protective phone case that might be preventing a full connection, then firmly reseat the phone in the port.

Gently clean around the buttons and thumbsticks using compressed air to remove debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the Backbone One, simply expand the device and slide your smartphone into the controller's port. The device is powered by your phone, meaning it never needs to be charged independently. For compatibility, ensure your phone's port matches the controller's connector type. To care for your controller, store it in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners; instead, wipe the controller with a clean, slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. If using a phone case, ensure it is thin enough to allow for a secure, flush connection with the controller's port.
