Backbone Pro: One Controller for All Devices Launches

The Backbone One 2nd-gen controller made waves last year with its support for the iPhone 16, and now, the company is pushing the envelope even further with the launch of the Backbone Pro. This next-generation controller offers the flexibility of both wireless Bluetooth connectivity and a physical USB-C connection, catering to a wide range of gaming preferences and devices.

Opting for the USB-C connection promises zero latency and eliminates the need to charge the controller, ensuring uninterrupted gameplay. On the other hand, the wireless mode enhances portability and flexibility, allowing you to game on the go without any cables. The Backbone Pro's versatility extends to compatibility with a variety of devices, including phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, and even VR headsets, making it a truly universal gaming solution.

Thanks to the innovative FlowState Technology, switching between devices is seamless, as the controller remembers previously paired devices. The team at Backbone has worked diligently to create what they claim is the "smallest form factor ever to accommodate full-size joysticks," a testament to their commitment to both comfort and portability.

The Backbone Pro also comes equipped with customization features and remappable back buttons, enhancing your control over your gaming experience. The handy Backbone app serves as a gateway to a multitude of gaming services, including Apple Arcade, Netflix, Xbox Remote Play, Steam Link, and Nvidia GeForce NOW. Subscribers to Backbone+ can enjoy an additional perk with access to a library of games at no extra cost.

Maneet Khaira, Founder and CEO of Backbone, emphasizes the company's 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."*
