CRKD has introduced the NEO S Purple Wave Edition, a special-edition controller designed with rhythm games and Fortnite Festival in mind. It’s compatible with PC and Nintendo Switch, with Xbox functionality on the way. The controller is ready to order now, with global shipping set between November 29 and December 6, 2024.
The star feature is the Festival Attachment, which clips onto the controller and replicates the feel of guitar frets. It’s ergonomic, easy to use, and lets you live out your rockstar fantasies without alarming your neighbors. Fans of rhythm classics like Guitar Hero will feel right at home, but the controller isn’t just for shredding. Whether you’re jamming on the bass, keytar, or even singing along in Fortnite Festival, this add-on offers a playful new spin on gaming.
The Purple Wave Edition doesn’t just look cool—it’s packed with tech that makes it a capable companion for all kinds of games. With Hall-Effect Thumbsticks, the dreaded stick drift is out of the picture. Adjustable trigger sensitivity, motion controls, and remappable back buttons give you more control without making you fumble through menus. The Bluetooth connection extends compatibility to smart TVs, tablets, and mobile devices, so you’re covered even if your gaming setup is all over the place.
To top it off, the controller syncs with CRKD’s free True Collection System app. You can log your controller’s rarity ranking (for bragging rights, naturally) and tweak settings using the CRKD CTRL feature. It’s a handy addition for collectors and tinkerers alike.
Stephen Withers, Product Manager for CRKD, shared his excitement: “Our team has been designing rhythm game controllers for nearly two decades, and the NEO S Purple Wave Edition is a way for us to bring those years of experience back into play. The Festival Attachment is all about fun, and the NEO S itself is built to handle everything else.”
The NEO S Purple Wave Edition is priced at $59.99 / €69.99 / £59.99 and can be ordered now at CRKD’s website. Whether you’re rocking out or just gaming on the go, this controller might be the most entertaining thing to hit your hands this holiday season.
