Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the Backbone One, simply expand the bridge mechanism and insert your smartphone into the controller's port. The device is generally plug-and-play, though downloading the companion app is recommended to configure specific button mappings and firmware updates. To maintain the device, keep the charging port clear of dust and debris. If you use a protective case, ensure it is thin enough to allow for a direct connection, or remove it before gameplay. Store the controller in a dry environment and avoid exposing the analog sticks to undue pressure while inside bags or luggage.
