With up to 40 hours of battery life and an ergonomically refined design, the Backbone Pro is built to elevate your mobile gameplay. As highlighted in our glowing 9/10 review, tech 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 standout innovation is the FlowState technology, which allows seamless Bluetooth connectivity across a wide array of devices—think tablets, smart TVs, VR headsets, and even docked smartphones. As our review highlights:

“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 makes the Backbone Pro one of the most future-proof mobile controllers on the market today.
