I don’t know what todo

I have been using the Backbone controller since its original release and have really enjoyed the product for gaming and PS5 Remote Play.
Recently, I upgraded to the iPhone 17 Pro, and I’ve been experiencing fit and compatibility issues due to the new phone design.
But it doesn’t work well. Should i get the backbone pro when all i need it to be fit only 😄

UPDATE: I no longer give up…

Thank y’all who recommended the ribbon cable swap, got it in today and took my time replacing it. Very happy with the results! Still stand by my position on buying this along with any BackBone used tho, this is way too expensive to act up the way it does with NORMAL use.

So long ribbon cable devil.. 👺

Yeah I give up..

Great control when it works at the very beginning but actually a nightmare if you ever get any kind of left side issues, might as well consider it dead when that comes up. Don’t buy these things new, like ever. I’m lucky I got this one secondhand for like $20.

Ghost of Tsushima issues

Hey all,

I’m trying to stream GOT from steam to my backbone but the only option available is from ps app, I don’t have this but when created it just says something is missing.

Is there a way to launch this from steam and my of rather than Ps?

Update/firmware issues

There was a recent firmware update for the Backbone Pro, and it has been giving me such a headache. Changing settings on me while playing games. Guide button no longer working, but only when on the home screen, going to different screens with different button combos, pressing buttons I didn't even think were possible to execute (especially when using Steam Link), and this constant issue where it keeps lowering the volume when I'm in certain apps.

Is anyone else experiencing this, or am I just going crazy.??

Edit: Thought I should clarify this isn't a ribbon cable issue. at least not for me. I treat my controller with some care lol
Others have pointed out different issues with this update, and the backbone support team is currently looking into this.

Just got a X5s and guess what. Fuckin left trigger is going insane. Emailed them and it’s a 36 hour wait for a response. I already ordered another one from Amazon. 🤦🏽‍♂️

I was super excited about this one after getting my G8 Plus. Now I’m having regrets and second thoughts. 💭
