The Backbone One: An Excellent Controller For Mobile Gaming
This controller doesn’t require any cables and doesn’t need to be charged. You can just plug and play.

A Brief Introduction to Mobile Gaming
I have been observing mobile gaming for a while. For example, I recently wrote an article talking about the evolution of mobile gaming.

In that article, I highlighted how mobile gaming had evolved close to the level of console gaming in the past new years. But I didn’t talk about any game controller you could use for your mobile phone.
Purpose of the Post
In this article, I will briefly introduce, in my opinion, the best mobile gaming controller, called The Backbone One.
The Backbone One
I only found out about the Backbone One through a friend who thought it was an interesting product.
As you can see from the cover image of my article, it looks similar to the Nintendo Switch control layout with controls on either side of the phone.
You just place your phone in the middle between the controls and connect it to the UDB C or Lightning port on the side.
Because of that, this controller doesn’t require any cables and doesn’t need to be charged. You can just plug and play.
In conjunction with cloud gaming services such as Xbox Game Pass and Playstation Plus, you’ll have an almost endless amount of games to play with a Backbone One.
Backbone has an app available on the iOS app store and the Google play store, which can work as a game launcher, including all cloud gaming services.
The controller itself has a few buttons on the front that allow you to capture screenshots and record clips of your gameplay.
In my opinion, this is the best product to play console games when you just want to lay down in bed.
It’s also an excellent option for people that don’t own a gaming PC or a gaming console but still want to play console games.
The controls will make you feel as though you’re playing on a Playstation or Xbox since you can actually play Playstation and Xbox games.
Although the Backbone One won’t be the best portable gaming experience with the release of the Steam Deck approaching soon, it’s still a great product for people that don’t want to spend too much money on a viable gaming experience.
If you would like to read more on the Steam Deck, here’s an article I recently wrote introducing it.
Final Words
In my opinion, the Backbone One is the best mobile gaming controller for both iOS and Android.
In conjunction with cloud gaming services, it looks like a great gaming experience possible on a mobile phone.
Not only is it easy to use without any extra steps other than plugging in your phone, but it also features gameplay recording features and an easy-to-use app.
The Backbone One is the perfect choice for every mobile gamer looking for a good controller experience.
Thank you for reading my story. I wish you a prosperous life.
