- CRKD has unveiled a new version of its tiny Atom controller called the Atom+
- It’s still small and relatively cheap, but now offers TMR thumbsticks
- It is compatible with Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, in addition to PC and mobile
Gaming accessory brand CRKD has announced the Atom+, a new version of its tiny Atom controller.
Despite offering significantly more functionality, the CRKD Atom+ is still extremely compact and wouldn’t look out of place on a key ring. Unlike its predecessor, it now comes equipped with two thumbsticks, meaning it should work well with pretty much any Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2 game.
They are also premium TMR thumbsticks that offer improved precision and completely eliminate the risk of stick drift. With its Bluetooth connection, it is also compatible with PC, mobile phones and some smart TVs.

The controller even supports vibration feedback and motion controller, which is especially impressive for something so small. CRKD hasn’t made any claims regarding the Atom+’s battery life, but I expect it to last a few hours like its predecessor.
“We’ve created a portable gamepad that’s powerful enough for modern gameplay while still being small enough to take anywhere,” claimed CRKD global brand manager Jack Guinchard.
The Atom+ costs just $29.99 / £29.99 / AU$54.99, includes a wrist strap and charging cable, and comes in four colorways (Smoke Black, Glacier Blue, Retro Purple and Pal Grey), all of which can be pre-ordered now via the CRKD website.
