Backbone has taken a significant leap forward with the launch of the Backbone Pro, the next-generation controller designed to elevate your gaming experience across multiple devices. Announced with support for the iPhone 16 last year, the Backbone Pro now offers both handheld and wireless modes, ensuring you can enjoy your favorite games with unparalleled versatility.
The Backbone Pro boasts the ability to connect wirelessly via Bluetooth or physically via USB-C, catering to different preferences. The USB-C connection promises zero latency and eliminates the need to charge the controller, while the wireless option offers unmatched portability and flexibility. One of the most exciting features is its broad compatibility, supporting not just phones, but also tablets, laptops, smart TVs, and VR headsets.
Thanks to FlowState Technology, the Backbone Pro makes it easy to switch between devices that have been previously paired. The team at Backbone has worked tirelessly to create what they claim is the "smallest form factor ever to accommodate full-size joysticks," ensuring comfort and precision without sacrificing portability.
The controller also includes customization features and remappable back buttons, enhancing your control over gameplay. Additionally, the handy Backbone app serves as a gateway to a variety of gaming platforms, including Apple Arcade, Netflix, Xbox Remote Play, Steam Link, and Nvidia GeForce NOW. Subscribers to Backbone+ can enjoy a library of games for free, adding even more value to the package.
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."*
