The Backbone One 2nd-gen controller, which announced support for the iPhone 16 last year, has now evolved into the Backbone Pro—a next-generation controller designed to enhance your gaming experience across multiple devices. Whether you prefer handheld mode or wireless mode, the Backbone Pro offers flexibility with its ability to connect via Bluetooth or a physical USB-C connection. The latter ensures zero latency and eliminates the need to charge the controller, providing a seamless gaming experience. Meanwhile, the wireless mode enhances portability, allowing you to game on the go with ease.
The Backbone Pro is designed to be universally compatible, working seamlessly with phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, and even VR headsets. This versatility is powered by FlowState Technology, which enables easy switching between previously paired devices. The team behind Backbone Pro has meticulously crafted what they claim to be the "smallest form factor ever" while still accommodating full-sized joysticks, ensuring comfort and precision in your gameplay.
In addition to its impressive hardware, the Backbone Pro comes with customization features and remappable back buttons. The handy Backbone app enhances your gaming experience by providing 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, emphasized the vision behind the Backbone Pro, stating, *"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."*
