Backbone has launched the Backbone Pro, a significant upgrade to its original mobile game controller, which has gained popularity since its 2020 debut. Enhanced comfort and functionality include larger triggers and quieter buttons. Notably, the Pro introduces Bluetooth support, allowing users to connect with various devices like PCs and tablets, enhancing its appeal. The companion app features innovations such as 'FlowState' for quick connections. CEO Maneet Khaira highlights its premium nature, but its $170 price tag may deter some potential buyers.
After using the Backbone Pro for the past few days, I can squint and see the future Khaira has in mind, and the controller itself clearly feels more premium than its predecessor.
'[The Pro] is meant to be a premium device for anyone who wants to play games on any screen,' Backbone CEO Maneet Khaira said during a briefing in New York City.
