The best controller to use with your phone is the Backbone One and it’s 30% off for Amazon Prime Day 2023. The iPhone version of the black backbone one controllers and the PlayStation Edition is $69.99 for the rest of the day.
These temporary discounts are great because they’re better and easier to use than connecting your Xbox or PlayStation controller via Bluetooth. With the Backbone One, you pull it apart to stretch it around your phone so that when connected it has a Nintendo Switch-like form factor. The controller offers a Lightning connector to power your phone, as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack if you want to use wired headphones.
Several native iOS games offer game controller support, not to mention that it works great with cloud games streamed via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. One feature that Backbone offers compared to the competition is that it’s the only third-party controller supported by Sony’s PS Remote Play app, which allows you to play your PS5 games over WiFi or a cellular connection.
Prime Day also has several other outstanding deals on gaming accessories including replacement Joy-Con sticks, the LG 1440p gaming monitor and even more of the best gaming headsets. Or if you’re looking for new things to play with, there are plenty of free games and video game deals to take advantage of during Prime Day 2023.
