Designed for serious mobile gamers, the Backbone Pro delivers an impressive 40-hour battery life and ergonomic comfort. Our reviewer Matthew Adler praised it saying, "While not as groundbreaking as its predecessor five years ago, the Backbone Pro significantly refines every aspect that made the original great. Its full-size thumbsticks, enhanced triggers, programmable rear buttons, and remarkably quiet face buttons fully earn its 'Pro' designation."

The controller's innovative FlowState technology expands its compatibility beyond smartphones. As noted in our review, "This feature enables Bluetooth connectivity with tablets, smart TVs, VR headsets, and other devices while maintaining smartphone functionality." This versatility makes the Backbone Pro an exceptional choice for diverse gaming setups.
