Backbone Pro
With up to 40 hours of battery life and a comfortable ergonomic design, the Backbone Pro is primed to take your mobile gaming to the next level. As noted in our review, writer Matthew Adler praised its meaningful upgrades, saying, “The Backbone Pro may not be the revolutionary leap its predecessor was, but it meaningfully improves on almost every feature that made the original so great.” Highlights include full-size thumbsticks, upgraded triggers, customizable rear buttons, and virtually silent face buttons and D-pad—all justifying the “Pro” moniker.
One standout feature is FlowState technology, allowing seamless connectivity with a wide range of devices such as tablets, smart TVs, VR headsets, and more over Bluetooth. This opens up endless possibilities for versatile gaming setups.
