Over at Woot, we are now tracking a solid deal that drops Backbone One’s 2nd Gen iPhone Lightning controller grip to $69.99. Shipping is free for Prime members with a $6 delivery fee otherwise. This second-generation controller grip debuted not too long ago carrying a $100 price tag and the same features as the USB-C version from last fall. This particular model hasn’t seen many discounts since its debut in March outside of a few brief drops to the $80 mark. Today’s 30% discount on Woot knocks $30 off its usual going rate, marking the lowest price we can find.
The Backbone One game controller is great for those who want to enjoy their favorite games on the go. It delivers one of the best ways to enjoy just about “any game, anywhere,” be it titles from the App Store, like Call of Duty and Roblox, or cloud games via Xbox Game Pass, Apple Arcade, and GeForce NOW, or via Remote Play from your PlayStation, Xbox, or PC. This Lighting model also has wide analog triggers, magnetic adapters, a reshaped D-Pad, Lightning pass-through charging, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, among other things. You can learn more about the experience of using one of these in our hands-on review of the USB-C version right here.
