AH Real Deal: The Backbone One controller returns to $70 low

Right now Amazon is having its Black Friday sale and has slashed the prices on tons of products, including the Backbone One mobile gaming controller, which has returned to its all-time low price. This mobile controller normally retails for $99.99 but you can currently pick it up for $69.99.

That’s definitely a deal we’d take advantage of. Mobile games these days have come a long way and many of them support controllers. You can easily use most wireless controllers you have lying around, but a mobile controller like the Backbone One is simply a more convenient and sometimes better option. The reason for this is because the phone ends up situated between the two sides of the controller. So the screen of your device is right in the center.

Not only is the controller now more evenly weighted, but the phone ends up closer to you as well. So all the details of your game are easier to see. With the Backbone One you get lots of great features. One of my favorites is the ability to plug in the phone via passthrough charging, in addition to the 3.5mm headphone jack so you can plug in headphones. This way you can keep your phone charged while you play and get your personal audio. Ensuring no one is distracted by the sounds of your games.

The Backbone One also ensures low latency connectivity so you don’t have input lag. You have basically everything you need for game controls as well. These controllers are pretty compact, making them easier to stuff into a bag and take it with you anywhere. If you play mobile games a lot, definitely invest in one of these.
