The Backbone Pro mobile controller just got a fashion-forward remix. In a new collaboration with streetwear label Kith, Backbone is releasing a limited-edition version of its flagship telescopic controller this time dressed in translucent white.
Backbone Pro controller gets sleek Kith edition
Kicking off December 5, the Kith x Backbone Pro will be available exclusively through Kith’s online store. It’s a bold look white translucent casing, light gray buttons with crisp white text, and the familiar Xbox-style layout. The Backbone button stands out with a different hue, but the rest keeps a clean, uniform feel.
This collab comes hot on the heels of the Backbone Pro Xbox Edition. Instead of slowing down, Backbone’s doubling down on premium releases.
Kith version keeps Backbone Pro features
Despite the cosmetic refresh, nothing under the hood has changed. The Kith edition still mirrors the standard Backbone Pro model both in function and compatibility. It connects via USB-C and supports Bluetooth for broader use across smartphones, tablets, PCs, and smart TVs.
Bluetooth mode taps into a built-in battery, offering up to 40 hours of wireless play. Whether you’re cloud gaming or running mobile titles natively, the performance remains solid across devices.
Exclusive packaging adds to the appeal
Beyond the controller’s sharp design, the packaging turns this into a collector’s piece. It ships in premium Kith-branded boxing, tailored for fans of both mobile gaming and fashion drops.
Backbone hasn’t confirmed a price yet, but the standard Pro sells for $169.99, and the Xbox Edition goes for $179.99. Expect this one to land in that same range, if you can grab it in time.
What makes the Backbone Pro worth watching
- Compatible with Android phones via USB-C
- Supports Bluetooth mode for PC, TV, and tablet gaming
- Offers 40-hour battery life in wireless mode
- Xbox-style layout for familiar feel
- Works with cloud gaming platforms and native mobile titles
Kith collab plays to scarcity
Backbone is calling this release “extremely limited,” and that’s no marketing fluff. With a single sales window 11 AM EST on December 5 it’s clear the brand’s leaning into hype culture. Still, for fans who want their gear with extra style, this one’s worth setting an alarm for.
This is more than just a color swap. It’s a signal that the mobile controller space has room to flex. And this time, Backbone’s flexing with Kith.
