Backbone Pro: Universal Controller Debuts

• Handheld or wireless connectivity options
• Compact design featuring full-sized analog sticks
• Convenient Backbone companion app

Following last year's Backbone One 2nd-gen controller announcement for iPhone 16 compatibility, the company ups the ante with the Backbone Pro launch. Designed as a next-generation controller, it offers both Bluetooth wireless connectivity and wired USB-C connection.

The wired mode promises completely lag-free performance while eliminating charging needs, whereas wireless operation provides enhanced mobility and versatility. Most impressive is the Backbone Pro's cross-platform compatibility, working seamlessly with smartphones, tablets, computers, smart TVs, and VR systems.

This truly universal controller utilizes proprietary FlowState Technology for effortless switching between previously paired devices. The development team reportedly achieved breakthroughs creating "the most compact design ever" while successfully integrating full-sized analog sticks.

The controller boasts customizable features including reprogrammable rear buttons, complemented by the intuitive Backbone application. This centralized hub provides access to Apple Arcade, Netflix Gaming, Xbox Remote Play, Steam Link, and Nvidia GeForce NOW services. Backbone+ subscribers gain additional perks with complimentary access to its exclusive game library.

"We envision gaming's future extending beyond single-device limitations," explains Maneet Khaira, Backbone's Founder and CEO. "The Backbone Pro delivers premium gaming experiences across all your screens with one versatile controller."
