The Backbone Pro Xbox Edition has finally arrived, and it’s turning heads with its exciting new design made for gamers who play everywhere. This upgraded controller is built from scratch to feel faster, smoother, and far more comfortable, whether you’re gaming on your phone, PC, tablet, smart TV, or even a VR headset.

Right away, it feels light at just 199 grams, yet solid enough for long gaming sessions. The full-size ALPS thumbsticks give you tight control, the Hall Effect triggers feel clean and accurate, and the laser-etched grips help you hold on easily during intense moments. You also get two rear buttons that you can map however you like, making it feel more like a real pro controller.

One of the most exciting upgrades is the dual connection setup. You can plug in with USB-C for fast, low-latency play, or switch to Bluetooth Low Energy and enjoy up to 40 hours of wireless gaming. Thanks to the new FlowState feature, you can hop from your phone to your PC or TV in seconds without pairing again it just switches automatically.

The Backbone Pro Xbox Edition controller works perfectly with the Backbone App, where players can jump into Xbox Cloud Gaming, Xbox Remote Play, Apple Arcade, Steam Link, PlayStation Remote Play, and many other supported games. Plus, every unit includes one month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, letting you dive into titles like Forza Horizon 5 and Minecraft right away.

Backbone says the Pro Edition went through over 9,000 part revisions and 30 research studies before launch. Using 3D camera tracking, they tested thousands of hand movements to build a controller that feels natural and comfortable for nearly every type of gamer.
