CRKD, the premium collectible gaming brand, has announced the worldwide shipping of the highly anticipated NITRO DECK+. Following the success of the award-winning Nitro Deck, this new iteration promises to elevate the gaming experience for Nintendo Switch users with improved ergonomics, innovative features, and enhanced control options.
Enhanced Features and Design
The NITRO DECK+ retains the comfortable footprint of the original Nitro Deck while introducing several key innovations. One of the standout changes is the improved thumbstick placement, which has been shifted for better ergonomics. This symmetrical design allows for more intuitive play, making it easier for gamers to keep their thumbs on the sticks without fatigue.
TV Play Without the Dock
A major new feature of the NITRO DECK+ is the integrated USB-C HDMI output, which enables gamers to switch between handheld and TV play seamlessly. There’s no need for an external dock, making it a convenient solution for those who like to switch between gaming modes frequently.
Advanced Control Options
The NITRO DECK+ introduces new ‘Sidekick’ buttons located beside each thumbstick. These buttons replicate the B and A action commands, providing super-fast feedback during gameplay. Combined with re-mappable back buttons pre-programmed to the X, Y, A, B action buttons, users can interact with their games more efficiently, keeping both thumbs comfortably on the sticks.
Additional Features
- Easy Eject System: Removes your console from the NITRO DECK+ easily, without touching the screen.
- Upgraded Rumble System: Delivers more intense and adjustable vibrations.
- Bluetooth Connectivity: Allows for easy pairing with the CRKD Companion App on iOS and Android. The app lets users control features like button remapping, trigger sensitivity, thumbstick dead zones, rumble settings, and firmware updates.
- True Collection System: A feature within the app that lets users tap their smart device to their hardware to reveal product number, rarity rank, and add to their unique collection.
- CRKD Shop & CRKD TV: The app hub for all things CRKD-related.
