This is an excellent deal on one of our favourite gaming peripherals for iPhone.

The older Lightning-based version of the controller is still available and also on sale for £69.99.
This deal matches the Black Friday price for the Backbone One (2023), which remains the lowest price we’ve seen on the peripheral. Our own price comparison tool shows this is the lowest price you’re likely to find on this device.
Is the Backbone One (2023) worth buying?
All the mobile gaming controller you'll ever need
Pros
- Excellent mobile gaming controls
- Improved and updated hardware compatibility
- Excellent all-encompassing UI
Cons
- Still expensive
- Can be fiddly to fit your phone
- Not very different from the original
Although the Backbone One (2023) isn’t too great a revision on the original model, it is a necessary one if you own an iPhone 15, due to the change from a Lightning to a USB-C port. There’s also some swappable magnetic adapters if you’re still on an older model.
We love the compact design that expands in the centre in order to accommodate both iPhone sizes. The buttons are tactile and spacious and it really feels like you’re using a console game controller at times. The built quality is great and it feels like a durable controller that’ll withstand some abuse.One of our only complaints was about the price and this deal negates those concerns entirely.
