The Backbone One 2nd-gen controller made waves with its support for the iPhone 16 last year, but now, Backbone is pushing boundaries further with the launch of the Backbone Pro. This next-gen controller offers the flexibility of use either wirelessly via Bluetooth or through a physical USB-C connection to your device. The USB-C connection ensures zero latency and eliminates the need to charge the controller, while the wireless mode enhances portability and flexibility. What sets the Backbone Pro apart is its compatibility with a wide range of devices including phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, and even VR headsets, making it a truly versatile gaming solution.
Thanks to FlowState Technology, the Backbone Pro allows seamless switching between previously paired devices, enhancing the user experience. The team behind the controller has worked diligently to create what they claim is "the smallest form factor ever to accommodate full-sized joysticks," ensuring comfort and precision in gameplay.
The Backbone Pro also comes equipped with customization features and remappable back buttons, along with the handy Backbone app. This app allows you to access games from various platforms including Apple Arcade, Netflix, Xbox Remote Play, Steam Link, and Nvidia GeForce NOW. Subscribers to Backbone+ can enjoy a free library of games, adding further value to the controller.
Maneet Khaira, Founder and CEO of Backbone, stated, *"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."*
