With up to 40 hours of battery life and a comfortable design, the Backbone Pro is designed to elevate your mobile gaming experience. As noted in our glowing review, writer Matthew Adler stated, “While the Backbone Pro may not bring the same revolutionary change as its predecessor did five years ago, it meaningfully improves nearly every feature that made the original so beloved. Full-sized thumbsticks, upgraded triggers, customizable rear buttons, and nearly silent face buttons and D-pad more than earn the ‘Pro’ title.”

One standout feature is FlowState technology, which enables seamless Bluetooth connectivity to a wide array of devices, including tablets, smart TVs, VR headsets, and more. This versatility adds immense value to the controller, making it a must-have for serious gamers.
