Remember the days when mobile gaming meant clunky touchscreen controls and frustrating gameplay? The Backbone One controller changes everything, turning your iPhone or Android phone into a legitimate handheld gaming device that fits right in your pocket.
Whether you're diving into App Store hits like Call of Duty Mobile and Fortnite, streaming through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, or connecting via Remote Play from your PlayStation or Xbox console, the Backbone One has you covered. This isn't just another mobile controller—it's a versatile gaming hub that adapts to your playstyle. For Remote Play functionality, you'll need the PlayStation Edition, but the standard version works perfectly with virtually all mobile gaming platforms and services.
Designed by gamers, for gamers, the Backbone One features ultra-wide analog triggers that give you the same satisfying resistance as console controllers. The high-precision thumbsticks and responsive D-pad make aiming in shooters feels intuitive, while the ergonomic design ensures your hands stay comfortable during marathon gaming sessions. This isn't about gimmicks—it's about delivering the control accuracy you need to compete at your best.
For iOS users on version 18.4 or higher, the Backbone One transforms into a retro gaming powerhouse. Import your own ROMs and enjoy classic games with proper controller support through Backbone's in-app emulator (Android version coming soon). With a Backbone+ subscription, you can build your own portable retro collection and enjoy offline gaming wherever you wander. It's the perfect gift for gamers who grew up with classics but want modern convenience.
The Backbone One USB-C version works with most modern smartphones, including the latest iPhone 15, 16, and 17 series. For iPhone 14 and older models, check out the Lightning version. The package includes magnetic adapters that work with most phone cases, so you don't have to choose between protection and gaming. This controller isn't just about playing games—it's about making mobile gaming a legitimate, enjoyable experience that rivals traditional consoles.
