The Backbone One 2nd-gen controller's support for the iPhone 16 last year was a game-changer, but now the launch of the Backbone Pro takes it to the next level. This next-gen controller offers both wireless Bluetooth connectivity and a physical USB-C connection, catering to different gaming preferences.
Opting for the USB-C connection ensures zero latency and no need to charge the controller, providing a seamless gaming experience. On the other hand, the wireless mode enhances portability and flexibility, allowing you to game on the go without any cords.
One of the most exciting aspects of the Backbone Pro is its extensive compatibility. It works with phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, and even VR headsets, making it a versatile solution for gamers. The FlowState Technology makes switching between previously paired devices a breeze, streamlining your gaming experience across multiple platforms.
Despite its compact size, the Backbone Pro manages to include full-sized joysticks, a testament to the team's dedication to achieving the smallest form factor possible without compromising on comfort and functionality. The controller also comes with customization options and remappable back buttons, allowing you to tailor your gaming setup to your preferences.
The handy Backbone app further enhances the experience by providing easy access to games from Apple Arcade, Netflix, Xbox Remote Play, Steam Link, and Nvidia GeForce NOW. Subscribers to Backbone+ can also enjoy a library of games for free, adding even more value to this versatile controller.
Maneet Khaira, Founder and CEO of Backbone, emphasizes the company's vision: "We believe the future of gaming transcends individual devices. With Backbone Pro, you can experience the excitement and connection of gaming on any screen with just a single device."
If the Backbone Pro sounds like the perfect addition to your gaming arsenal, you can explore it further on the official Backbone website. A UK launch is imminent, so keep an eye out. For those eager to test it out, why not check out our list of the best games with controller support on Android?
