The Backbone One 2nd-gen controller gained attention with its support for the iPhone 16 last year, and now, the launch of the Backbone Pro takes it to the next level. This cutting-edge controller offers both handheld and wireless modes, allowing you to connect via Bluetooth or directly through a USB-C connection. The USB-C option promises zero latency and eliminates the need for charging, while the wireless mode provides unmatched portability and flexibility.
One of the most impressive features of the Backbone Pro is its versatility, designed to work seamlessly with a wide range of devices including phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, and even VR headsets. This universal compatibility is made possible by FlowState Technology, which enables easy switching between previously paired devices. Despite its small form factor, the Backbone Pro manages to include full-sized joysticks, a testament to the team's dedication.
The controller also comes with customization options and remappable back buttons, enhancing your gaming experience. The handy Backbone app further elevates your gaming by providing access to games from Apple Arcade, Netflix, Xbox Remote Play, Steam Link, and Nvidia GeForce NOW. Subscribers to Backbone+ can enjoy a library of games for free.
Maneet Khaira, Founder and CEO of Backbone, shares his vision, 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."
