1$169.99 at Backbone$169.99 at Best BuyThe Backbone Pro is engineered to elevate your mobile gaming experience with an impressive up to 40 hours of battery life and an ergonomic design. In our glowing 9/10 review, our writer Matthew Adler praised it, saying, "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."

An exciting feature of this device is its 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 opens up a whole new realm of gaming possibilities, making the Backbone Pro an essential addition to your gaming arsenal.
