The Backbone One 2nd-gen controller made waves with its support for the iPhone 16 last year, and now, the excitement is building with the announcement of the Backbone Pro. This next-generation controller offers the versatility of both handheld mode and wireless mode, allowing you to connect via Bluetooth or directly through USB-C. The USB-C connection promises zero latency and no need to charge your controller, while the wireless mode adds a layer of portability and flexibility to your gaming experience.
One of the standout features of the Backbone Pro is its wide compatibility. It's designed to work seamlessly with a variety of devices including phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, and even VR headsets. This makes the Backbone Pro a truly versatile, one-controller-fits-all solution. Thanks to FlowState Technology, switching between previously paired devices is a breeze, enhancing your gaming experience across different screens.
Despite its compact size, the Backbone Pro boasts full-sized joysticks, a testament to the dedication of the team behind it. They've managed to create what they claim is the "smallest form factor ever to accommodate full-size joysticks," ensuring comfort and precision without sacrificing portability.
The controller also comes with customization features and remappable back buttons, adding to its appeal. The handy Backbone app further enhances its functionality, giving you access to games from Apple Arcade, Netflix, Xbox Remote Play, Steam Link, and Nvidia GeForce NOW. If you're a Backbone+ subscriber, you can enjoy a library of games for free, adding even more value to your gaming setup.
Maneet Khaira, Founder and CEO of Backbone, expressed the company's 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."*
