Subscribe to our newsletter I've jumped at any chance to talk about the CRKD Atom in the past, as I adore the tiny keychain controller.

It's a bit gimmicky as its super small size makes it uncomfortable to hold compared to the best Nintendo Switch 2 controllers.

However, the frequent discounts across the Atom range and the pad's nostalgic designs have earned it a permanent place in my Ninty setup.At the moment, the entire CRKD Atom lineup is actually down to just $17.99, but it feels harder to recommend them now that the newly upgraded Atom+ is closer to release than ever.

Estimated to ship between Jun 22 and 26 this year, the newly upgraded $29.99 (CRKD) controllers are available to pre-order now.

They share the same nostalgic designs as the older Atom, including a PAL Grey Edition that's reminiscent of the PAL SNES from my childhood.

However, CRKD has made them far more Switch 2-friendly than what came before, and that's all thanks to their brand-new thumbsticks.CRKD ATOM+ Pal Grey Edition controller: $29.99 at crkd.ggThe upcoming CRKD Atom+ is compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2 thanks to Bluetooth, just like the OG Atom ## Editor's Note We'll have to wait and see how this plays out in the coming weeks.
