The Backbone One 2nd-gen controller, which recently announced support for the iPhone 16, has now evolved into the Backbone Pro. This next-generation controller offers the versatility of both wireless Bluetooth connectivity and a direct USB-C connection. The USB-C option promises zero latency and eliminates the need for charging, ensuring a seamless gaming experience. Meanwhile, the wireless mode enhances portability and flexibility, allowing you to game on the go with ease.
One of the standout features of the Backbone Pro is its broad compatibility. It's designed to work seamlessly with a range of devices, including phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, and even VR headsets. This makes it a truly universal controller, thanks to the innovative FlowState Technology that allows effortless switching between previously paired devices.
Despite its small size, the Backbone Pro boasts full-sized joysticks, a testament to the team's dedication to delivering a compact yet functional design. Additionally, it offers customization options and remappable back buttons, enhancing your gaming control and personalization.
The handy Backbone app further elevates your gaming experience by providing access to games from various platforms such as Apple Arcade, Netflix, Xbox Remote Play, Steam Link, and Nvidia GeForce NOW. If you're a Backbone+ subscriber, you'll also enjoy a library of free games to explore.
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."
