Our glowing 9/10 review by Matthew Adler highlights its excellence: "While the Backbone Pro may not be the revolutionary leap its predecessor was upon entering the mobile gaming market five years ago, it significantly enhances every aspect that made the original so beloved. The inclusion of full-size thumbsticks, upgraded triggers, customizable rear buttons, and virtually silent face buttons and D-pad truly justify the 'Pro' moniker."

A standout feature is the FlowState technology, which, as our review notes, "allows you to connect the Backbone Pro to an expansive range of devices including tablets, smart TVs, VR headsets, and more via Bluetooth, in addition to your docked smartphone." This versatility opens up a whole new world of gaming possibilities, making the Backbone Pro a must-have for any serious mobile gamer.
