Backbone has launched the Backbone Pro, a versatile controller priced at $170 that connects to smartphones, PCs, and TVs. While it aims to be a premium option for gamers on the go, the controller's notable features include Bluetooth connectivity, customizable button mapping via the Backbone+ app, and responsive controls. However, criticisms include it not feeling 'pro' enough due to the absence of Hall effect joysticks, limited compatibility with larger devices like the iPad mini, and a high price point relative to its predecessor, the Backbone One.
If you're the traveling kind, it promises to be the only quality (albeit expensive) controller you need to take with you.
There has to be something exemplary about a Pro device, especially to justify the $170 price compared to the $100 you pay for the Backbone One.
Controllers live and die by how they feel in your hands. If you've ever held a Backbone One, you have a good idea of the general feel for the Pro controller.
The high point of the Backbone One is the D-pad and face buttons, which aren't overly loud even though they have the sort of clicky feeling I enjoy.
