The Backbone One 2nd-gen controller, which announced support for the iPhone 16 last year, has now evolved into the Backbone Pro. This next-generation controller is designed to enhance your gaming experience across various devices, offering both wireless and handheld modes. Whether you prefer the zero-latency connection via USB-C or the portability of Bluetooth wireless mode, the Backbone Pro has you covered.
One of the standout features of the Backbone Pro is its compatibility with a wide range of devices, including phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, and even VR headsets. This versatility is made possible by the innovative FlowState Technology, which allows seamless switching between previously paired devices. The team behind Backbone Pro has worked diligently to create what they claim is the "smallest form factor ever to accommodate full-size joysticks," ensuring comfort and precision without compromising on size.
In addition to its hardware capabilities, the Backbone Pro comes equipped with customization features and remappable back buttons. The accompanying Backbone app further 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, emphasizes the company's vision: *"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."*
