A great controller that now comes in at a lower price. For a limited time, Woot is offering a bundle that comes with the controller and carrying case for just $70.

If you’re someone that loves to play games on mobile, then a physical game controller is going to be worth investing in. Not only do you get more precise controls, but you can’t beat the tactile feel of a good controller. With that said, the Backbone One is one that we really loved, offering plenty of comfort and versatility.

Backbone One review: The controller Android gamers deserve

Backbone’s controller is one of the best for Android, but the PlayStation Edition could use a few more buttons



But we did think it was a little too expensive at the time, which is why this discount is worth taking a look at. For a limited time, Woot is offering a substantial discount on the Backbone One controller, in both black and white models, and is even throwing in a carrying case, all for just $70. This is one of the best prices we’ve seen for this bundle, so if you’ve been thinking about buying one, now’s going to be a great time.

What’s great about the Backbone One?

When it comes to the look and feel, the Backbone One delivers. Not only do you get a choice of colors, with a black and white version, but the latter is the PlayStation Edition, which will have buttons that mimic the layout of what you find on Sony’s popular console. Furthermore, you also get the ability to sync the controller with Remote Play.

The controller can accommodate a variety of different phones, thanks to its expanding and contracting design. Like most controllers out there, you get a variety of inputs, with a D-pad, analog sticks, buttons, 3.5mm audio jack, and USB-C charging port. The port even features passthrough charging, making it possible to keep your device topped up while you play.

For the most part, the controller should be easy to use, just connect and go. But Backbone does provide its own software as well, that will allow you to tweak the experience to your liking. Overall, this is going to be a pretty good controller to go with if you’re just looking to get started. Of course, you can always check out some of our favorite game controllers as well if you’re not completely sold.
