We finally have an update to the Backbone One! I personally love my Backbone One controller, so I'm excited to see that the company is finally updating it after three years of — in my opinion — revolutionizing mobile gaming. The Backbone One was originally launched in October 2020, so the controller has been on the market for quite a while now. The company did technically update the controller when it released the PlayStation edition back in July 2022.
It's such a vital part of tons of games, and hardcore gamers hate a bad D-pad, so I'm glad the company improved that part of the controller. The magnetic adapters also look much more elegant than the 3D-printed ones that the company offered to users over the last couple of years. The 2nd generation of the Backbone One is available now and Backbone+ can get $30 off if they claim a discount through the Backbone app through November 17th.
