The Backbone One 2nd-gen controller made waves with its support for the iPhone 16 last year, but now, the Backbone Pro takes things to a whole new level. This next-gen controller offers the versatility of both wireless Bluetooth connectivity and a physical USB-C connection. The USB-C option promises zero latency and no need to worry about charging, while the wireless mode enhances portability and flexibility. What sets the Backbone Pro apart is its broad compatibility, designed to work seamlessly with phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, and even VR headsets.
The Backbone Pro is engineered to be a universal gaming solution, thanks to its innovative FlowState Technology. This feature allows you to switch between previously paired devices effortlessly. The team behind the controller has managed to create what they claim is the "smallest form factor ever to accommodate full-size joysticks," which is quite an achievement in terms of design and functionality.
In addition to its impressive hardware, the Backbone Pro comes with customization features and remappable back buttons, enhancing your gaming experience. The handy Backbone app is a game-changer, giving you direct access to games from Apple Arcade, Netflix, Xbox Remote Play, Steam Link, and Nvidia GeForce NOW. If you're a Backbone+ subscriber, you'll also enjoy a library of games for free.
Maneet Khaira, Founder and CEO of Backbone, shares their vision, saying, "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."
