CRKD has announced that pre-orders are open for the Nitro Deck 2 portable gaming controller for Nintendo Switch 2. It can now be purchased for $99.99.
Unlike the original Nitro Deck or Nitro Deck Plus, where the console was inserted from top to bottom, the ND2 uses a new retractable locking mechanism: the latch folds back, and the holder expands or contracts.
The body has become more streamlined and ergonomic, with an offset right stick for a natural thumb position in portable mode.
The Nitro Deck 2 is compatible with the original Nintendo Switch and Switch OLED, and works with PCs and mobile devices via Bluetooth. The CRKD Companion App provides firmware updates, response tuning, and personalization.
The Nitro Deck 2 has sticks with sensors that provide precise control without drift, ultra-responsive control, customizable resistance, and complete freedom from magnetic interference. The controller also supports wired gameplay via USB‑C using the included L-shaped adapter, providing minimal latency.
Plus, you can personalize your device with replaceable stick and D‑Pad caps (but they will have to be purchased separately), adjust the vibration feedback, and take advantage of the folding metal stand. Nitro Deck 2 shipments to customers will begin in March-April 2026.
