"The Backbone Pro Xbox Edition looks like an improvement over the pre-existing One controller in nearly every way. It's still a USB-C shell that wraps around a phone or related device, but the actual controller is now more in league with an actual Xbox gamepad. It features full-size control sticks, hall effect triggers and two customizable back buttons. Most of the inputs can be remapped."
"This should make plowing through that Game Pass library an absolute breeze. To that end, this controller has Bluetooth. This means you won't have to rely on a smartphone or whatever device can physically attach to the gamepad. Game Pass has become available on all kinds of platforms in recent years, from PCs and smart TVs to Meta Quest VR headsets. This opens up all of that. The company promises a simplified "tap and play" experience."
Backbone released the Pro Xbox Edition, a USB-C shell controller that wraps around a phone or related device while mirroring a true Xbox gamepad. It includes full-size control sticks, hall effect triggers, two customizable back buttons, and widely remappable inputs. The controller supports Bluetooth for untethered use across PCs, smart TVs, Meta Quest headsets, and other Game Pass platforms, providing about 40 hours per charge. Wired use draws power from the smartphone, giving runtime tied to the phone battery. A proprietary app enables input remapping and customization. The controller is available now for $180 and includes a free month of Game Pass Ultimate.
