Gamepad with USB-C and connectivity
The direct connection via the integrated USB-C port eliminates unwanted signal lag when transferring data between the controller and the phone. The system is plug-and-play, so it doesn't require lengthy wireless pairing or charging before you start playing. The controller draws power from the phone's battery, so it contains no built-in battery pack that would require a separate charging cycle. The buttons and analogue sticks respond instantly to every physical press, helping with fast-paced gaming action.
Magnetic adapters for phones
The second generation of this gaming accessory comes with an innovative design solution in the form of interchangeable magnetic adapters. These special elements make it easier to seat your mobile phone in the mount, even with a protective case on its body. Two separate sets of these adapters are available for different phone and case thicknesses. This means users don't have to remove the case from their phone before every gaming session. In addition, the redesigned D-pad provides more precise feedback when pressing the directional buttons.
Backbone app
The Backbone mobile app unifies installed game titles and available streaming platforms into one clear environment. Users will find all their games from the Google Play Store, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or GeForce NOW in one place. The app provides access to cloud gaming services without the need for complex searching on the phone. It also serves as an interface for finding titles and connecting with the gaming community. Connecting to the gaming world is quick and without complicated setup.
Pass-through charging while gaming
The controller's design includes a secondary USB-C port. The connector supports pass-through charging technology, which allows you to charge the connected phone while actively playing games. This means your phone won't lose power even during long gaming sessions, and you don't have to interrupt your game due to a dead battery. Simply connect a standard charging cable to the controller and the phone will charge automatically in the background.
Wired controller
The Play On Any Screen feature expands the possibilities of this gaming accessory. When you connect a compatible USB-C cable, this device functions as a standard wired controller for a desktop PC, laptop or compatible tablet. The feature requires an active Backbone+ subscription to work. This gives users a tool to control games on different platforms without needing to buy other separate controllers.
Audio interface
The controller offers a 3.5mm stereo jack for connecting headphones. The jack supports the connection of wired headphones with an integrated microphone for voice communication. This allows players to communicate with teammates during team matches without audio lag. The audio output transmits the signal directly from the phone to the headphones and maintains stereo sound.
