Although the Backbone One 2nd Gen has hit this price before, it's still matching its lowest-ever rate making this easily one of the greatest Amazon Prime Day mobile gaming deals I've seen this year.

The Backbone One 2nd Gen is an improved version of the original Backbone One, boasting a better fit and improved d-pad controls. It's available in both USB-C and Lightning connector variants, so should be fully compatible with your current phone.

I've tested a lot of mobile controllers and can confidently say that the Backbone One 2nd Gen ranks among some of the very best. I awarded it four out of five stars in my recent Backbone One 2nd Gen review, where I was seriously impressed with its high-quality design, clicky tactile buttons, and ability to use it with most phone cases.
