Opens in a new window Credit: Backbone Backbone Pro $169.99 at Backbone Backbone has just announced the latest addition to their lineup of popular mobile gaming controllers: The Watch The Girl Next Door (2017) Korean movieBackbone Pro.
The Pro is designed from the ground up to be your one-stop shop for mobile and cloud gaming, allowing you to play on any screen with one single device. Like earlier Backbone iterations, the controller includes a handheld mode that can connect to your mobile device via USB-C for zero-latency gaming, and doesn't need to be charged. Where the Pro changes things is in its wireless mode, which will allow you to connect to various devices via Bluetooth, like smartphones, tablets, laptops, VR headsets, and smart TVs. Thanks to the controller's FlowState technology, it'll recognize previously connected devices, letting you switch seamlessly between them at a moment's notice.
The physical design of the controller is different, too, employing a more ergonomic fit with full-size joysticks and remappable back buttons. This time, all of the device's other buttons are remappable using the Backbone app, which lets you create multiple profiles tailored to specific games you're playing.
