Level up your mobile game with this Backbone One offer for Cyber ​​Monday

As good as cell phones have been, the touchscreen still can’t match the responsiveness of a proper controller. The Backbone One is a solution for mobile gamers: a device that turns a regular iPhone into a more console-like experience.

Backbone One normally retails for $99.99, but it was down to $84.99 via Backbone One as part of their Cyber ​​Monday deals. You’ll also get three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate as part of the bundle, which usually costs around $45.

The Backbone One is an iPhone controller that plugs into your phone’s Lightning connector. You simply extend the center bar, put your iPhone in, and then retract it to lock everything into place.

The Backbone One is compatible with any iPhone capable of running iOS 13, although the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro will require a free adapter. You can get that directly through Backbone, and the site also has downloadable blueprints if you have access to a 3D printer.

As shown above, Backbone provides a controller-like experience for iPhone users. The left side has the D-pad, an analog stick and options and a video record button. There’s also another similar bar, the A, B, X and X buttons, the menu button, and the Backbone app launcher on the right side. Both sides include a pair of shoulder triggers.

The Backbone app also lets you access PlayStation and Xbox games via remote streaming. You can also store and share game clips through the app and connect to voice chat services.
