A brand-new Switch controller grip accessory has been revealed that looks absolutely phenomenal as an alternative handheld grip for Nintendo’s traditional or OLED Model Switch consoles.
Developed by CRKD and set to release on September 18th this year, the Nitro Deck promises unparalleled comfort and speed when playing handheld, and with a direct USB-C interface, Hall-Effect thumbsticks for zero drift, swappable stick tops and remappable back buttons it’s certainly easy to believe. It’s obviously hard to say without holding one but they definitely look like an incredibly comfortable way to hold the Switch. The unit can even be used as a wired controller when the Switch is being used in a dock.
There are a couple of caveats here with the CRKD Nitro Deck only being available to pre-order in the US and Canada at this stage and also featuring some weird, Web3 digital ownership/collection type garbage, but it’d be great to see them made available globally anyways. My favourite thing about them is the selection of different colourways including some retro-flavoured schemes and even a couple of Limited Run branded designs featuring translucent coloured shells.
