Smartphone GPUs are getting better and better day, and this leads to the development of more comprehensive games with better graphics. However, the touch controls may not be sufficient or satisfactory for some games. Luckily, One of the best mobile gamepads you can buy is finally available with Android phones. The Android version of Backbone One finally goes on sale today.

The Backbone One now works with Android phones

The Backbone One went on sale to be compatible with iPhones in July, but now it’s available for Android phones. Starting today, you can order the Backbone One for Android from the company’s website or some selected retailers for $99.99. Gamepad connects to your phone via a USB-C connection (unlike some controllers that require a Bluetooth connection), and its size can be adjustable. The gamepad also offers a headphone jack, like its iOS version.

The Backbone One is compatible with “most” Android phones, but you’ll probably need to remove your phone from its case to make sure it fits. Thanks to the asymmetrical stick and standard A, B, X and Y button layout, it’s very similar to the Xbox’s controller. Especially if you are into Cloud gaming, you will not have any difficulty playing PC games. As you know, the iOS version of the controller also has a PlayStation-compatible model.

The version with the button system (cross, circle, triangle and square) similar to the DualShock was developed for those using the PlayStation Remote Play feature. Unfortunately, the PlayStation version of the controller for Android phones isn’t listed yet. Still, Backbone has an exclusive partnership agreement with Sony, and a USB-C powered PlayStation variant is currently developing; however, the launch date is currently unknown.
