Update: While we await Amazon’s listings to go live below, Best Buy is jumping in early with the official fall Prime Day pricing on the wonderful Backbone ONE USB-C and Lightning mobile controllers at 30% off.
As part of its Prime Big Deal Days event, Amazon is now bringing back the best price of the year on the latest USB-C edition of the lauded Backbone One mobile controller for iOS and Android. Considered by many to be one of, if not, the best mobile controller around, Amazon is now offering the latest 2nd generation USB-C Backbone One Mobile Gaming Controller down at $69.99 shipped. This includes both the white PlayStation edition and the black Xbox-style models at the discounted rate. Regularly $100, these Android and iPhone 15/16 controllers (all USB-C smartphones) are now 30% off and matching the lowest price we have tracked this year. This is the same deal we saw during the July Prime Day sale.
Backbone One fall Prime Day deals:
- Latest Backbone One USB-C (black) $70 (Reg. $100)
- Latest Backbone One USB-C (PlayStation/white) $70 (Reg. $100)

The 2nd generation Backbone One Mobile Gaming Controller delivers USB-C connectivity for Android handsets and iPhone 15/16 devices – those still using a previous-generation iPhone can go for the new 2nd gen Lightning models that are also now on sale for the Prime Big Deal Days sale.
The latest USB-C Backbone One Mobile Gaming Controller allows folks to properly enjoy just about “any game, anywhere” on mobile if you ask me. From App Store titles like Call of Duty and Roblox and cloud games on Xbox Game Pass, to anything on your Apple Arcade account, GeForce NOW, or even via Remote Play from your PlayStation, Xbox, or PC, there’s not much it doesn’t support.
You’ll find ultra-wide analog triggers, “highly accurate” thumbsticks, a D-pad, and pass-through charging (charge your phone and play at the same time). There’s a 3.5mm headphone jack and wider compatibility this time around for a better fit with even more smartphones (there’s also some included magnetic adapters to support a wide range of cases too).
Backbone One USB-C Mobile Gaming Controller features:
Choose from free App Store games like Call of Duty & Roblox, stream through cloud gaming services such as Xbox Game Pass, Apple Arcade & GeForce NOW, or play games with Remote Play from your PlayStation, Xbox or PC. Meticulously crafted to be comfortable and portable, our compact design features ultra wide analog triggers, highly accurate thumbsticks and responsive D-pad and buttons. Connects to your phone’s USB-C port for ultra-responsive gameplay. Plus, charge and use your favorite headset while you play. Get access to exclusive perks and the Backbone app, which serves as a hub for all your games, recommends new games, connect with friends, screen record, play on any screen, and more. The Backbone can still be used as a gaming controller without Backbone+.
