The CRKD Nitro Deck controller for the Nintendo Switch has received a major firmware update, introducing adjustable triggers and other features. The update allows users to customize the stopping points of the triggers, fine-tune rumble intensity, enable a no deadzone mode for the joysticks, adjust LED brightness, and more. The Nitro Deck controller has gained popularity among Nintendo Switch fans for its build quality and design.
The CRKD Nitro Deck for the Nintendo Switch promises a drift-free experience with its use of Hall Effect technology, but it falls short due to a major design flaw. While the controller feels comfortable and has a snug fit for the console, the kickstand is limited in its positions and blocks access to a screw for disassembly. The right stick is positioned uncomfortably close to the face buttons, making it awkward to use for games that require constant stick usage. Despite passing a test for Hall Effect technology, the Nitro Deck's poorly positioned right stick makes it difficult to recommend for games that heavily rely on stick controls.
CRKD is launching the Nitro Deck, a professional handheld deck for the Switch and OLED model, designed for comfort and speed with zero stick drift. The Nitro Deck features swappable thumbstick toppers, re-mappable back buttons, and ultra-low latency with a direct connection via USB-C. It also includes a premium carry case, USB-C cable, and thumbstick toppers. The device can be used as an extra controller when the console is docked and connects to the CRKD Companion app. Multiple Nitro Deck options are available for pre-order, ranging from $60 to $90.
