Backbone is making some tweaks to its excellent mobile game controller.

The Backbone One with a USB-C connector is getting an updated D-Pad as well as magnetic adapters that let you use the controller while your phone is in a compatible case. The new controller will be available starting Wednesday — it could be good to use with Resident Evil Village on the iPhone 15 Pro.

I have a Backbone One with a Lightning connector that’s pretty great, so I’m guessing this updated USB-C version will be just as nice, too.
