As part of the now live Prime Big Deal Days offers, the official Backbone Amazon storefront is offering its 2nd-gen USB-C controller down at $69.99 shipped. This $100 model doesn’t see many discounts outside of big events like Black Friday or Prime Day, and it’s currently marked down by a solid 30%. That knocks $30 off its regular price, matching the lowest offer we saw during the previous Prime Day sale back in July. You can get this controller grip in black and white colors, and they’re both down to the $70 low today. Notably, you can also get the BACKBONE One Gen 2 model with a Lightning connector down at $59.99 shipped with a 40% markdown on its usual going rate at Best Buy. This also happens to be the lowest we have seen this model fetch to date, and you can learn more about it below.

The BACKBONE One is one of the most popular mobile controller grips out there, designed to work seamlessly with a wide range of devices, including both iPhones and Android phones. It connects directly via USB-C, offers pass-through charging so your phone stays powered while you play, and even includes a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired audio. The Gen 2 models – available in both Lightning and USB-C versions – feature analog triggers, responsive thumbsticks, a precise D-pad, and familiar face buttons for a true console-like feel. Both versions are on sale today, so grab the one that fits your device while the discounts last.
