If you're a gaming enthusiast, the newly announced Backbone Pro controller is set to revolutionize your gaming experience across multiple devices. Whether you prefer the flexibility of handheld mode or the seamless connectivity of wireless mode, the Backbone Pro has you covered. Designed with a compact yet robust build, it boasts full-sized joysticks, ensuring comfort and precision during those intense gaming sessions.
The Backbone One 2nd-gen controller, which previously announced support for the iPhone 16, has paved the way for the next-generation Backbone Pro. This new controller can be used wirelessly via Bluetooth or directly connected to your device using USB-C. The USB-C connection promises zero latency and no need to charge the controller, making it an ideal choice for uninterrupted gameplay. On the other hand, the wireless mode offers unmatched portability and flexibility, allowing you to game on the go.
One of the most impressive features of the Backbone Pro is its versatility. It's compatible with a wide range of devices, including phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, and even VR headsets. Thanks to the innovative FlowState Technology, switching between previously paired devices is seamless, making it a truly universal gaming controller. The team at Backbone has worked tirelessly to achieve what they claim is the "smallest form factor ever to accommodate full-size joysticks," a testament to their commitment to quality and innovation.
The Backbone Pro also comes with customization options and remappable back buttons, enhancing your control and gameplay. The handy Backbone app is a game-changer, providing easy access to games from Apple Arcade, Netflix, Xbox Remote Play, Steam Link, and Nvidia GeForce NOW. Subscribers to Backbone+ can enjoy an extensive library of games for free, adding even more value to this already impressive controller.
Maneet Khaira, Founder and CEO of Backbone, shared his vision, stating, *"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."*
