Nitro Deck 2 Controller Fits Switch 2, OG, and OLED in One Shell - Yanko Design

"The first Nitro Deck and similar shells made the Nintendo Switch feel more like a proper controller, but they were still mostly one-trick grips that lived in handheld mode. With the Switch 2 looming, there is a chance to rethink what a deck shell should be, not just for Nintendo's next handheld but for PC, mobile, and TV play. Nitro Deck 2 is CRKD's answer, expanding the idea from grip to multi-platform controller."

"CaptiStick is a capacitor-based, zero-contact sensor design meant to eliminate stick drift and deliver long-lasting precision with no electromagnetic interference. That is CRKD's alternative to traditional potentiometer sticks that wear out, and Hall Effect sticks that rely on magnets. Nitro Deck 2 also adds adjustable thumbstick resistance and deadzone, tunable through the CRKD Companion App, so you can dial in how loose or tight the sticks feel depending on the game."

"The new retractable locking dial mechanism secures the console and keeps the shell compatible with the original Switch and OLED models, with a legacy adapter included. This is a direct response to fit issues from the first Nitro Deck, and it means Nitro Deck 2 survives console generations. The dial gives you a way to adjust clamping force and fit without swapping the whole shell when Nintendo changes dimensions."

Nitro Deck 2 is engineered for the Nintendo Switch 2 and fully backward compatible with the Switch and Switch OLED, featuring redesigned ergonomics and multi-platform connectivity via Bluetooth and USB. The shell holds the console for handheld play and includes a removable centerpiece that becomes a standalone pro-style controller when the console is docked. CaptiStick uses a capacitor-based, zero-contact sensor to reduce stick drift and avoid electromagnetic interference, while adjustable thumbstick resistance and deadzone can be tuned through the CRKD Companion App. A retractable locking dial secures the console and preserves compatibility across console generations. Extra bumpers, remappable back buttons, digital triggers, and macro toggles expand controls.
