Amazon Prime Day 2024 is here and that means plenty of deal offers that can save you money on all kinds of stuff, like this Backbone One mobile controller. This is one of the best mobile controllers available and right now Amazon has it on sale for $70. It normally costs $100. You save $30 by getting the controller while this deal is active and that’s actually quite good.
If you’ve never used the Backbone One before then you’re in for a real treat. It supports a wide variety of phones and cases now with its 2nd Gen design, and it’s using USB-C so it’s standardized with both Android and iOS. Of course, you’ll have to have an iPhone that uses USB-C for this controller to be compatible. Worth noting is that if you have an older iPhone that still uses the lightning cable, the 1st Gen Backbone One is still available and it’s on sale as well. Only it’s even cheaper, having come down to $50.
One of my favorite parts about this controller is that it has a 3.5mm audio port for using wired headphones. So you get uninterrupted audio when you’re playing games. The controller also supports passthrough charging so you can keep your phone powered up while you play. I have used this feature on many occasions when I was hours deep into a gaming session in Genshin Impact or Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile. And it was always nice to know that when I was done, my phone’s battery wasn’t going to be nearly dead.
Another really neat feature is that you can use this controller on PC. You just need to plug it in using a USB cable through the passthrough charging slot. You can also get this controller in the regular black model or this white PlayStation Edition. But only while Prime Day is active, and only if you’re a Prime member.
