CRKD's Nitro Deck+ Aims To Make One Of The Switch's Best Accessories Even Better
thegamer.comNo matter how good a console might be, your experience with it can always be enhanced via accessories. Even if that console is the 130 million-unit-selling Nintendo Switch. CRKD released one of the best Switch accessories to date last year, the Nitro Deck. Available in an array of colors and a handheld accessory that doubles as a pro controller. That accessory has now been improved upon via the Nitro Deck+, and you can pre-order the latest offering from CRKD right now.
The premise of the Nitro Deck+ is the same as the original accessory. A device compatible with a regular Switch or the OLED model that your console's screen slots into, making it more comfortable to hold and adding features like mappable back buttons. CRKD has enhanced the Nitro Deck experience by listening to feedback and implementing the most requested changes in the Nitro Deck+. The right thumbstick's position has been adjusted, and two new 'sidekick' buttons have been added along with the returning mappable back buttons.
The best new feature of all, in my opinion, is the ability to use your Nitro Deck+ in both handheld and docked mode without the need to use your regular Switch dock. An integrated USB-C output in the Nitro Deck+ means you can connect it directly to your TV, and there's a USB-C to HDMI cable included with the accessory which means you can do that without having to own or buy any additional leads.
The Nitro Deck+ is CRKD's upgraded version of the regular Nitro Deck. The newer model adds side buttons to the pre-existing mappable back ones, an adjustable rumble feature, and USB-C to HDMI capability so it can be connected directly to your TV.
The Nitro Deck+ also has a new easy eject system meaning you don't need to exert any force on your Switch screen to remove it from the Deck. Another big positive for me is the tweak to its rumble. The original Deck's rumble was a one-size-fits-all approach, whereas the Plus's rumble can be adjusted to suit the user and the game you're playing.
