1$169.99 at Backbone$169.99 at Best BuyThe Backbone Pro boasts an impressive 40-hour battery life and a comfortable design, poised to revolutionize your mobile gaming experience. Our glowing 9/10 review by Matthew Adler praised it, 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."

Another exciting feature of this device is FlowState technology, which, according to our review, "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 significantly expands the potential for gaming with this controller, making it a worthwhile investment.
