Backbone’s New Translucent Controller Is A Very Unexpected Crossover
Backbone has announced a new limited-edition version of its controller, designed in collaboration with award-winning musician–and noted Lord of the Rings fan–Post Malone. This $200 version of the Backbone One sports a translucent green design, a glow-in-the-dark logo, and several hardware upgrades like an aluminum D-pad and laser-etched aluminum face buttons. These will be very limited, as only 500 of them are being produced.

In case it sells out, you can still pick up a regular Backbone for your phone, although you’ll have to settle for a PlayStation white or an Xbox-esque carbon black finish. Normally $100, they’re often on sale for around $80 and they’re a great way to get a more traditional gaming experience out of your smartphone.
With games like Assassin’s Creed Mirage and Death Stranding on newer iPhone models, Netflix’s underrated library, and even anime streaming service Crunchyroll offering a great selection of games, it’s worth investing in one of these devices for some quick gaming when you’re on the go.
