Backbone Pro Launches: One Controller for All Devices

Author:Kristen Update:May 14,2025

The Backbone One 2nd-gen controller made waves with its support for the iPhone 16, and now the Backbone Pro takes gaming to new heights. This next-gen controller offers both handheld and wireless modes, making it incredibly versatile. When connected via USB-C, you can expect zero latency and no need to charge the controller separately. On the other hand, the wireless Bluetooth mode provides portability and flexibility, allowing you to game on the go without any cords.

One of the standout features of the Backbone Pro is its compatibility with a wide range of devices. Whether you're using a phone, tablet, laptop, smart TV, or even a VR headset, this controller has you covered. The innovative FlowState Technology enables seamless switching between previously paired devices, making it a true one-controller-fits-all solution.

Despite its compact size, the Backbone Pro doesn't compromise on comfort. The team has worked tirelessly to create what they claim is "the smallest form factor ever to accommodate full-size joysticks." This ensures that you get the best of both worlds - a small, portable controller with the feel of full-sized joysticks.

The Backbone Pro also comes packed with customization options, including remappable back buttons. The handy Backbone app serves as a hub for your gaming needs, allowing you to access games from Apple Arcade, Netflix, Xbox Remote Play, Steam Link, and Nvidia GeForce NOW. If you're a Backbone+ subscriber, you'll also enjoy access to their library of games at no additional cost.

Maneet Khaira, Founder and CEO of Backbone, emphasizes the company's vision for the future of gaming: *"We believe the future of gaming transcends individual devices. With Backbone Pro, you can experience the excitement and connection of gaming on any screen with just a single device."*
