Backbone Pro: One Controller for All Devices Launches

The Backbone One 2nd-gen controller, which gained attention for its support of the iPhone 16, has now evolved into the Backbone Pro. This next-generation controller offers the versatility of both wireless Bluetooth connectivity and a direct USB-C connection. Opting for the USB-C mode promises zero latency and no need for charging the controller, while the wireless option enhances portability and flexibility.

The Backbone Pro is designed to be universally compatible, working seamlessly with phones, tablets, laptops, smart TVs, and even VR headsets. This universal appeal is powered by FlowState Technology, which allows for effortless switching between previously paired devices. The team behind Backbone Pro has worked diligently to create what they claim is the "smallest form factor ever to accommodate full-size joysticks," a significant achievement in design.

In addition to its compact yet feature-rich design, the Backbone Pro includes customization options and remappable back buttons. The accompanying Backbone app enhances the gaming experience by providing access to games from platforms like Apple Arcade, Netflix, Xbox Remote Play, Steam Link, and Nvidia GeForce NOW. Subscribers to Backbone+ can also enjoy a library of games at no extra cost.

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."*
