As part of the Black Friday Week deals kicking off today, Best Buy and Amazon are now once again bringing back some of the best prices of the year on the lauded Backbone One mobile controller for iOS and Android. Considered to be one of the best mobile controllers out there, both Best Buy and Amazon are scheduled to have the latest 2nd generation USB-C Backbone One Mobile Gaming Controller down at $69.99 shipped this year starting right now. Best Buy typically has the holiday deals on the Backbone controllers live first, but Amazon won’t be far behind at this point.
