CRKD Nitro Deck+ review: A pleasing upgrade for your Nintendo Switch

If you love playing the Nintendo Switch in Handheld mode, the CRKD Nitro Deck+ should be on your radar

If you’re someone who loves playing Nintendo Switch in handheld mode but is tired of hand cramps or the generally flimsy feeling of the Joy-Con, the CRKD Nitro Deck+ is a big step in terms of ergonomics and comfort. The app lets you update the controller’s firmware, reassign buttons, adjust the vibration strength, and enable a “no deadzone” mode for the analog sticks. Playing games like Metroid Prime Remastered, which requires you to use the D-Pad and face buttons frequently, only highlighted the issue, though your experience may differ from mine.
