The Backbone One Controller Is Just $80
All versions of the popular Backbone One smartphone controller are now $80, down from their usual $100.
The Backbone One is currently down to one of its lowest prices ever, as all versions are now available for $80 (normally $100). This includes 1st Gen and 2nd Gen models, Xbox and PlayStation variants, and both Lightning and USB-C editions. So whether you're looking for a nice companion for Delta on iPhone or something more robust for all your Android gaming, the Backbone One has you covered.
The big difference between the 1st Gen and 2nd Gen models is that the 2nd Gen supports phone cases. That makes it much more appealing, as you won't have to remove and replace the protective layer every time you want to use your Backbone. Beyond that, the two are largely the same, offering passthrough charging, a 2.5mm headphone jack, premium buttons and triggers, and support for most iPhones and Android devices.

If you plan on traveling with your Backbone One, consider adding the official Backbone One Carrying Case to your order. It's only $25, but because it's water-resistant, durable, and great at protecting your controller while in transit, it could save you from damaging your Backbone One over the years.
Our Backbone One review found it to offer a "combination of solid hardware and smart app design," and that's only improved with the updated 2nd Gen. From Game Pass and emulators to Genshin Impact and Call of Duty Mobile, it's the ideal companion regardless of what you're playing. We're not sure when the price will drop this low again, so swing by one of the retailers and cash in on the offer while you can.
