Preorder the Backbone Pro Controller

Backbone Pro

  • $169.99 at Backbone
  • $169.99 at Best Buy

The Backbone Pro boasts an impressive 40-hour battery life and a comfortable design, promising to elevate your mobile gaming experience. In our glowing 9/10 review, Matthew Adler praised the controller, stating, "The Backbone Pro may not be the revolutionary leap its predecessor was when it hit the mobile gaming market five years ago, but it meaningfully improves on just about every feature that made the original so great. The addition of full-size thumbsticks, upgraded triggers, customizable rear buttons, and virtually silent face buttons and D-pad more than justify the 'Pro' name."

One of the standout features of the Backbone Pro is its FlowState technology, which, according to our review, "lets you connect the Backbone Pro to an even wider range of devices including tablets, smart TVs, VR headsets, and more over Bluetooth, along with your docked smartphone." This versatility opens up a vast array of gaming possibilities, making the Backbone Pro a worthwhile investment for any gamer.
