CRKD Nitro Deck - Professional Handheld Deck with Zero Stick Drift for Nintendo Switch and Switch OLED (Black)

Since I got my Nintendo Switch, I have never been a fan of the 'wobble' that the Joy-Cons have. I've used various methods to stabilize the console, including backing, plastic controller grips, and even replacing the rails themselves with aftermarket ones to help. As it turns out, all I needed all this time was a CRKD NitroDeck.Your Switch slides right into this device, and (with the proper configuration!) it works absolutely flawlessly as a 'pro controller'. The build quality is exceptional, feeling almost as good as an official Nintendo product, the buttons are tactile and easy to reach, and back paddles and a stronger kickstand are absolutely knock out features. It is highly customizable, with configurations for vibration motors and trigger deadzones, and you can even update the device's firmware for more customizability, including the ability to adjust the brightness of the status indicator LED.I have large hands and always fumbled with the Switch. The NitroDeck effectively solves this problem completely. It does not weigh an unreasonable amount, and I didn't have any problems with the positioning of the buttons. The Switch can be a bit difficult to get out, but as long as you're careful, it should slide with a bit of gentle coaxing.All in all, this is a must have accessory for anyone who loves playing their Nintendo Switch in handheld mode. I picked up the attractive 'PAL Gray' version and love it - so much so that I am going to probably end up getting one of the Purple GameCube inspired variants in the future, as well as the equivalent, should it exist, for the Switch 2.Amazing job CRKD - you've earned a customer for life!

Best way to play Switch handheld. Comfortable in your hands and responsive controls.

Super fast shipping, I have had this one for a while now and I loved it so much, I bought a second one for my daughter. Thanks CRKD, we are looking forward to more awesome controllers.

I bought this a while ago and I did enjoy it a lot until the buttons started to act weird, seems like they lose connection or don’t want to work as intended, I really liked the feel of it and how it fit my regular switch, I loved the sturdiness of it, I was expecting this to last a little longer but unfortunately the buttons A,B are giving me a lot of issues. I wouldn’t recommend this product on the fact that it didn’t last a year with less than normal wear and tear and it already has issues. I will look at other options and probably stay away from this brand for the moment.Edit 06/20. I gave this product two extra stars because of their costumer service, after posting my review I was contacted by the seller and apologized for the product not working as intended. I wasn’t expecting them to actually read reviews but now I know they do, and are working hard to stand by their product, this act made me change my mind about not using their products in the future, now that I know they stand behind it 100%. Thank you to the team.

The media could not be loaded. UPDATE: the replacement came early, wasn’t new, and didn’t work.. The first was clearly in new packaging. This one looked slightly worse than the one i personally repackaged a couple days ago. I’m mildly convinced it’s the exact same one, just shuffled by an Amazon employee. It absolutely was not new. So yeah expect any model that’s not the newest or on discount to be repackaged & shipped with no quality control.Don’t buy from this company. They’ve only been around a year, and don’t seem to mind lying to every OLED purchaser.Wish I could give zero stars.****This is an extremely disappointing review to write. I loved this thing all 4 days it worked, & upon researching feel extremely deceived by the company.Apparently it’s VERY common for this thing to simply stop connecting to the OLED Models, possibly damaging your switch in the process.Their troubleshooting does nothing, and their ultimate stance seems to be that the OLED is faulty whenever this happens.What seems more likely is1) they don’t quality test the NitroDeck on the OLED beyond seeing if it still fit2) they would rather OLED owners buy this thing & lapse their return window.3) the returned ones seem to be shipped out again with no testing or cleaning cuz they’re just waiting for someone to keep it too long.This will probably run fine on a base model switch. But the Jank of this situation has me worried that it’s destined to be a short lived & potentially damaging deck… no matter what.I NEVER use Amazon’s return system cuz I hate it. I will be for this. Because there’s no easy way to simply refund I’m getting a replacement. But looking at the discourse I don’t expect much better when it gets here in OVER A WEEK.Absolutely devastating that I have to go back to joycon. Replacement determines if this becomes a 1 star review or not…

First, I had a Nitro Deck Plus, but it made my hand sore, so I just bought the original one. It is amazing to play with it, and I love it so much that I plan to sell the Plus soon.

I honestly love this nitro deck. My husband got it for me for an early birthday present in February because my joy cons were almost entirely useless and had to be taped onto my switch just to even kinda work. The feel of this deck is smooth, super easy to navigate plus no more joy cons coming disconnected. The vibration is a little loud if your switch isn’t the oled I think because of the extra space. I play Fortnite with it primarily an I have not experienced any stick drift or problems with any of the buttons functionality. The back 4 buttons took some getting used to and there is a bit of a weight to the nitro deck but not unbearable even with my psoriatic arthritis. No problems so far with the charging port either. It also comes in a super pretty pink color if that’s your kinda thing. It’s great for the price so far even still now that it’s April. I’d definitely say it’s worth it if you’re thinking about buying it.
