With an impressive 40-hour battery life and a comfortable design, the Backbone Pro is designed to elevate your mobile gaming. In our glowing 9/10 review, writer Matthew Adler stated, "While the Backbone Pro may not represent the revolutionary leap its predecessor made five years ago, it meaningfully enhances almost every feature that made the original so outstanding. The addition of full-size thumbsticks, upgraded triggers, customizable rear buttons, and nearly silent face buttons and D-pad fully justify the 'Pro' designation."

Another standout feature is the FlowState technology. Our review adds, "This technology allows you to connect the Backbone Pro to a wider array of devices including tablets, smart TVs, VR headsets, and more via Bluetooth, alongside your docked smartphone." This significantly expands the controller's gaming possibilities, making it a worthwhile investment.
