BACKBONE Lightning Controller

Backbone One Mobile Gaming Controller (1st Gen) – Lightning – Grade B (Unit Only)

The Backbone One is a transformative mobile gaming controller that turns your iPhone into a high-performance handheld console. Designed for ultra-low latency, it connects directly to your iPhone’s Lightning port, ensuring instantaneous response times that Bluetooth controllers simply cannot match. Its ergonomic, expandable design fits a wide range of Lightning-compatible iPhones (from iPhone 6s up to iPhone 14 Pro Max), providing a familiar and comfortable grip for long gaming sessions.

The controller features console-standard controls, including clickable analog thumbsticks, tactile face buttons, and analog triggers with 5mm of travel for precise input in racing and shooting games. Beyond hardware, the Backbone experience is defined by its dedicated app, which serves as a unified hub for your mobile games, Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Remote Play, and Steam Link. With integrated features like a 3.5mm headphone jack for immersive audio and pass-through charging to keep your phone powered while you play, the Backbone One is the essential tool for any serious mobile gamer.
