Backbone Pro – $169.99
Equipped with up to 40 hours of battery life and designed for extended comfort, the Backbone Pro is built to elevate your mobile gaming experience. 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 of the standout features of the Backbone Pro is its innovative FlowState technology. Our review further emphasized how this feature expands your connectivity options:
"FlowState lets you connect the Backbone Pro to an even wider range of devices—including tablets, smart TVs, VR headsets, and more—over Bluetooth, along with your docked smartphone."
This level of versatility opens up new dimensions in mobile and cross-platform gaming, making the Backbone Pro a smart investment for serious players.
