Musician-Approved Mobile Gamer Controllers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Backbone x Post Malone Controller is Arriving Soon

— June 22, 2024 — Tech
The Backbone x Post Malone controller has been created as a new collaboration between the brand and the musician as an aftermarket accessory perfect for supporting entertainment from anywhere. The controller is capable of being paired with your choice of Android or iOS smartphone and will provide access to the traditional controls one would find on a video game console peripheral. The controller, however, features a transparent green hue that will call to mind retro gaming devices and allow the internal components to act as a focal point.

The Backbone x Post Malone controller will be priced at $199 when it launches on the brand's website starting June 25, 2024 and will be limited to 500 examples for avid fans to pick up.
