The Backbone One is a phone-gripping controller that turns a USB-C phone into a handheld console. It plugs straight into the port, so there is no pairing or charging to manage, and it works with native mobile games, cloud streaming services and Remote Play from a PlayStation or PC. It suits people who play on their phone and want real sticks and triggers instead of touch controls. Its closest rival is the Razer Kishi, which also clamps around the phone; the Backbone adds a companion app with game discovery and social features, while the Kishi is a simpler, more pocketable option.
