Backbone One’s official Amazon storefront is offering its 2nd-gen USB-C controller down at $69.99 shipped as part of the ongoing Prime Day sale. This rarely discounted model typically goes for $100, and it’s now seeing a 30% markdown which takes $30 off its usual going rate. Today’s deal matches the lowest price we last saw during last year’s Black Friday sale. You can get this controller grip in black and white colors, and they’re both down to the $70 low today. Also, the Backbone One Gen 2 model with a Lightning connector is now down to $59.99 shipped with a 40% markdown, which is the lowest we have seen it fetch to date. Head below for more details.
The Backbone One remains one of the more popular controller grips on the market. It’s compatible with a variety of devices including iPhones and Android phones, and the one with a Type-C connector even works well with PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. It connects to the device of your choice via the USB-C port, and it allows for pass-through charging for your phone while also adding a 3.5mm jack for connecting your wired headset. Both the Gen 2 Lightning and Type-C models have analog triggers, thumbsticks, D-pad, and face buttons for a complete console-like controller experience.
If you’re more of a mouse and keyboard gamer, Logitech’s G713 wired model is down at $47. This TKL keyboard comes with a comfy palm rest and is down from its usual price of $170.
