You don't have to spend a fortune on a Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck to enjoy top-notch mobile gaming, especially with the fantastic Prime Big Deal Days discounts currently available on Backbone One controllers. Touchscreen controls on smartphones are undeniably frustrating, but that doesn't have to be the case thanks to these excellent cradles. The second-generation versions of these controller cradles are now $30 off while supplies last, until October 9. These deals are exclusively for Amazon Prime members.
The Backbone One offers a more conventional gaming experience with its button layout and grip style. It features shoulder and trigger buttons, familiar face buttons, and a staggered layout for the analogue sticks. When not in use, the Backbone One folds down and takes up minimal space, easily fitting into your pocket. The current generation models come with USB-C versions that are compatible with Android smartphones and iPhone 15 and 16. For older iPhone models, Lightning-connection versions are also available.
The Backbone One is available in white and black color options, with either PlayStation or Xbox button labels. One of the major advantages of the updated Backbone One is its compatibility with a wide range of phone cases, unlike the first iteration, which required users to remove their phone from the case before connecting to the controller.
