Review: 10000x better than Backbone!!!! - I’ve used the Backbone and thought it was decent...until I got the Vagabond. This controller is on another level. The first thing I noticed was how much more comfortable it is. The joystick placement feels natural, not cramped like the Backbone, and the overall larger size actually makes it easier to hold for extended gaming sessions without hand fatigue. As for the features, everything advertised is spot on. It works seamlessly with iPhone without a single issue. The telescopic design feels sturdy and expands smoothly without any wobble. Gameplay is tight and responsive, with no noticeable input delay or lag whatsoever. One of the best parts is the ability to charge your phone while playing, (pass-through charging feature) and the port is at the bottom where you'd want it. My hands don't interfere with the charging at all, plus there's a 3.5 audio jack down there. Despite being lightweight, the build quality is solid. The buttons, triggers, and joysticks all feel premium and responsive. In terms of comfort and layout, it genuinely feels more like a console controller than anything else I’ve used for mobile gaming. It connects USB-C so you never have to worry about fiddling with bluetooth settings or drop outs. If you’re looking for a mobile controller that actually lives up to the hype, the Vagabond is it. It’s well-designed, comfortable, responsive, and just plain better than the competition. Oh and if you have dry hands like me...invest in a decent cleaning solution for the joysticks. They have GRIP.
Review: Amazing - This controller has completely transformed my gaming experience with mobile games. As an avid gamer who’s always playing games at home and on my phone, the Vagabond has given me the edge to game competitively and comfortable on my phone and iPad. Gaming on the go has never been so fun. The design of the controller is sleek and very lightweight so I don’t get tired holding it. I absolutely love the look of it. It feels great in my hands due to the ergonomic build and I couldn’t be happier.It really makes me feel like I’m gaming on a console. The response time of the controller to game is really accurate. And although I’m button mashing some games, the controller feels built to last. The design team definitely invested time and thought into this controller and I applaud them. It’s awesome, that they included little alterations for whatever device youre using and they also included this measuring card to help navigate the adjustments. Final Thoughts: This controller is definitely the best one on the market and it’s not even close. If you’ve used the backbone, you know of the problems that come with it and the Vagabond has completely improved on all of the critiques the backbone faces. The Vagabond was built with gamers in mind- combining top-tier performance, unbeatable comfort, and customizable features. Whether you’re a causal or hardcore gamer, this controller is the way to go if you want to elevate your experience on mobile gaming. This controller delivers both style and substance and is an absolute must have.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Phone Controller I've tested and will keep.
*by R***E on June 30, 2025*

Love the controller so far, the form factor and button layout is the most similar to the Xbox controller that I've found. Even has similar rubbery grips to an Elite Controller 2. I found that Gamesir and the other brand's controllers are smaller causing thumb cramping pain. There is a blaring issue with this though, no Xbox guide button, and no way to map the smaller buttons. Please allow us to map the smaller buttons to better work with Xbox Cloud Gaming. One of the smaller buttons needs to be a Xbox Guide Button (or be mapped to as one), and let us remap the screen shot button, if I want a screen shot I can use my side buttons. I'll update my rating to 5 stars when/if they update the ELO or screenshot button to work as an Xbox Guide button. Overall I'm very happy with this controller, latest firmware installed without issue using the app. App could use some updates, but calibration worked flawlessly and now performs better than it did out of the box. Packaging was very impressive to open, nice and luxurious.
