The Backbone One 2nd-gen controller made waves last year with its support for the iPhone 16, and now, they're stepping up their game with the introduction of the Backbone Pro. This next-gen controller offers versatile connectivity options, allowing you to use it wirelessly via Bluetooth or through a direct USB-C connection. The USB-C mode promises zero latency and no need to charge the controller, 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. It's truly a one-controller-fits-all solution.
Thanks to the innovative FlowState Technology, switching between devices is a breeze, especially with devices previously paired. The team behind Backbone Pro has worked diligently to create the "smallest form factor ever to accommodate full-size joysticks," a remarkable achievement in compact design.
The Backbone Pro also comes with customization features and remappable back buttons, enhancing your gaming experience. Coupled with the handy Backbone app, you can access games from Apple Arcade, Netflix, Xbox Remote Play, Steam Link, and Nvidia GeForce NOW directly from the app. If you're a Backbone+ subscriber, you'll enjoy free access to a library of games.
Maneet Khaira, Founder and CEO of Backbone, shared his 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."*
