The Backbone Pro is designed to elevate your mobile gaming experience with up to 40 hours of battery life and a comfortable design. Our reviewer, Matthew Adler, praised it in our glowing 9/10 review, stating, "The Backbone Pro may not be the revolutionary leap its predecessor was when it hit the mobile gaming market five years ago, but it meaningfully improves on just about every feature that made the original so great. The addition of full-size thumbsticks, upgraded triggers, customizable rear buttons, and virtually silent face buttons and D-pad more than justify the 'Pro' name."

A standout feature is the FlowState technology, which, as our review highlights, "lets you connect the Backbone Pro to an even wider range of devices including tablets, smart TVs, VR headsets, and more over Bluetooth, along with your docked smartphone." This versatility opens up endless possibilities for gaming, making the Backbone Pro an essential upgrade for any serious mobile gamer.
