CRKD Nitro Deck - Professional Handheld Controller Deck with Zero Stick Drift for Nintendo Switch and Switch OLED (PAL Grey - Nostalgia Collection)

The CRKD Nitro Deck is in my opinion the best grip/holder for the SWITCH (all SWITCH versions except the Lite). It is extremely well built and feels really good in hand. Its ergonomics are very good and fits my average sized hands perfectly. Its features include Hall Effect joysticks, rumble on each side which is adjustable, gyro support, 4 back paddles that can be mapped to any face buttons, turbo mode, macro mode. The console slides in with a satisfying click into place. When in place, you can turn the Deck upside down and the console is going nowhere. A release button on the back when pushed up, allows you to pull the console out. The caps on the joysticks are interchangeable, and CRKD sells combinations on their website. One other thing, if you install the CRKD app on your phone, there is an NFC square on the back which when scanned via the app, tells you what number your Deck is and the rarity. I have no quarms about recommending this to anyone with a SWITCH. Oh it also has a brilliant stand on the back which is very sturdy.

One of the best gaming buys I’ve bought!!! I love my Switch. Adore it even. I was late to the Nintendo party and got my Switch last year. I really struggled with the original Switch pads. My hands felt like I was holding a miniature console, but, after seeing reviews on YouTube I took the dive into a deck. I haven’t look back!!! Price wise I was a little unsure at first, there were cheaper ones one the market but I didn't want a top end one. This feels top end. Function wise it feels as solid as my PS5 controller. The size of the deck feels ergonomically perfect for my large hands. Battery can be drained, but as a portable tool for making me happy it’s money well and truly spent.

I was confused by the many conflicting reviews so here is my view. The feel is great, it looks awesome. The sticks are nice and clacky and triggers and buttons feel nice. Sticks are larger on the controller so you just need to get use to a bit more November that the joycons have. I was worried from other reviews of it scratching my OLED so I got a piece of vinyl sticker to cover the area between the back of my OLED and the controller to act as a barrier. Despite what others have said I found it fairly easy to remove and insert the switch into the controller. I wasn't a fan of the vibration settings as they seem over the top when I was playing Skyrim and shooting arrows, even on the lowest setting out was vibrating a lot so I just turned that off. Back buttons and programming are easy enough. People have said the OLED is a tight fit I disagree it seems to be just right with a screen from a original switch having just a fraction more space.

It's a brilliant controller, much better than using the joycons. Ordered it for my son’s Nintendo Switch as the joycons were not working properly anymore. This gives a much better grip and feels a lot more better and fuller in your hand.

I’ve bought 3 of these, I’m down to one left. The other two stopped working within 5 months. I can’t return them as they’re past the 30 day return window

Good idea but once in very hard to get out stand tilts back way too far can't doc to tv. Charges fine but reduces play time as uses Nintendo power. Can plug external controller into but if can't plug into TV and stand tilts back so far why would you. Basically turns switch in to switch lite.

It's a brilliant controller with a much better feel than the original, turned around my dark souls run with triggers and bumpers that function as they should. Also has a much more solid and ergonomic feel than the original controllers too.

Great bit of kit, wish they would make one for the switch 2 Have been using mine for the switch for around a year, really nice feel, good sticks and make a nice clunck sound, downside is id you take your switch out to charge like i do, it scratches the back of your switch. Not the worst thing in the world as my switch is 8 years old. I would recommend one to everyone
