With an impressive battery life of up to 40 hours and a design focused on comfort, the Backbone Pro is set to enhance your mobile gaming sessions significantly. In our glowing 9/10 review, 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."

One of the most exciting features is the FlowState technology. As our review notes, "it 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 technology opens up a multitude of gaming possibilities, making the Backbone Pro a versatile and valuable addition to any gamer's arsenal.
