With up to 40 hours of battery life and an ergonomically refined design, the Backbone Pro is built to elevate your mobile gaming sessions. As highlighted in our glowing 9/10 review, writer Matthew Adler noted, "The Backbone Pro may not be the revolutionary leap its predecessor was when it hit the mobile gaming market five years ago, but it meaningfully improves on just about every feature that made the original so great. The addition of full-size thumbsticks, upgraded triggers, customizable rear buttons, and virtually silent face buttons and D-pad more than justify the 'Pro' name."
One standout feature is the new FlowState technology, which allows seamless Bluetooth connectivity across a wide range of devices beyond smartphones—think tablets, smart TVs, VR headsets, and more. As our review points out, “This opens up a whole new realm of possibilities for gaming with this controller,” making it a versatile choice for modern gamers.
