CRKD is back with another limited-edition drop, this time putting a musical spin on its compact, high-performance NEO S controller. The newly announced NEO S LINKIN PARK Edition is a licensed release built with Fortnite Festival in mind, complete with a custom Festival Attachment that mimics guitar frets for a more immersive rhythm game experience.
A Controller That Hits All the Right Notes
Designed for rhythm games like Fortnite Festival, the LINKIN PARK Edition of the NEO S brings more than just new looks. It features exclusive artwork inspired by the band’s in-game instruments and celebrates the debut of two new Fortnite Festival Jam Tracks, including LINKIN PARK’s latest single, Up From The Bottom, from their upcoming album From Zero, arriving May 16 via Warner Records.
The Festival Attachment—bundled with the controller—adds five fret-style action buttons that fit comfortably in the palm for guitar-style gameplay. It attaches directly to the NEO S and draws from the same design expertise behind legacy controllers from Guitar Hero and DJ Hero. For fans of rhythm games, this setup brings an arcade feel straight to the couch or coffee table.
Beyond guitar parts, the controller supports Keytar, Drum, Mic, and Bass gameplay modes in Fortnite Festival. And when you’re not jamming, the NEO S works just as well for standard titles across platforms.
Feature-Packed and Ready to Travel
Compatible with Nintendo Switch, PC, mobile devices, tablets, and Smart TVs, the NEO S LINKIN PARK Edition keeps things wireless and portable. Hall-Effect Thumbsticks help sidestep stick drift, while extras like adjustable triggers, remappable back buttons, and swappable stick tops offer plenty of room to tweak. There’s even a “No Deadzone” mode and motion control support for added precision.
Like all CRKD controllers, this model connects to the CRKD app via Bluetooth, giving players access to detailed customization options and the “True Collection System” for collectors to track rarity and build out their gear archive.
Availability
The NEO S LINKIN PARK Edition is available for pre-order now for $59.99 / €69.99 / £59.99 and is expected to ship in May. Fans can reserve theirs through CRKD’s official site or LINKIN PARK’s online store.
