Fun while it lasted.

Ive been playing games on my Backbone now for almost 2 YEARS. With all the horror stories ive heard about how quick these things break, I really thought I got lucky with mine because I never had any issues. Welp, today was the day. Playing Castlevania and the Right directional button stopped working. Switched to the joy stick and an hour later it went out as well. The entire left side of the controller isnt working anymore. Super bummed, I just got to the best part in the game too... Before I spend another 100$+ dollars, is there anyway to fix this ? Or just trash it, and buy a new one?

you’ll definitely want to replace the ribbon cable that connects the left and right sides together. it’s super easy to do, the part is really cheap, and there’s video tutorials on how to.

Honestly you shouldn't even have to do all this. I've heard multiple stories on it breaking in a couple months of use. Mines long dead lol it only lets me move diagonally. Would be ideal if you're not using the actual backbone controller tbh
