Packed with features like up to 40 hours of battery life and an ergonomically designed frame, the Backbone Pro is built to enhance your mobile gaming sessions. In our glowing 9/10 review, writer Matthew Adler noted, “The Backbone Pro may not be as groundbreaking as its original version was five years ago, but it significantly refines nearly every aspect that made the first model so popular. The inclusion of full-size thumbsticks, enhanced triggers, customizable rear buttons, and near-silent face buttons and D-pad make the ‘Pro’ designation well-earned.”

One standout feature is FlowState technology, which allows the Backbone Pro to connect seamlessly via Bluetooth to a variety of devices beyond smartphones—like tablets, smart TVs, and even VR headsets when used with a docked phone. As our review highlights, this opens up a whole new world of gaming flexibility, making the investment worthwhile.
