Over at Amazon, you’ll find the official Backbone storefront offering its latest Backbone Pro wireless controller for $139.99 shipped. This particular model debuted around the same time last year carrying a $170 price tag, and discounts have been relatively rare since launch, with most meaningful drops reserved for major sale events like Prime Day and Black Friday. It dipped to the $135 range during last year’s Black Friday sale, and today’s deal lands it within $5 of that all-time low. You’ll also find the brand’s standard Backbone One 2nd-gen models starting at $60 right now. Head below for more details.
The Backbone Pro gamepad sticks with the same familiar design as the standard Backbone One while expanding compatibility across a wide range of devices, including iPhones and Android phones. It connects via USB-C, supports pass-through charging, and features a built-in 3.5mm headphone jack. You can also switch to Bluetooth mode to pair it wirelessly with iPads, MacBooks, and even gaming handhelds, giving it added versatility. That said, if you’re into competitive gaming, you’ll likely want to stick with the USB-C connection for the lowest possible latency. Be sure to stop by our launch coverage right here to learn more about this gamepad in detail.
