Nitro Deck 2 Is Finally Out for Switch 2 Next Week
It's nearly here: the Nitro Deck 2 controller for Switch 2 is set to release August 28.
The Nitro Deck 2 has finally arrived for the upcoming Switch 2, set to ship next week on August 28. This accessory aims to enhance the comfort of playing the Switch 2 by replacing the subpar Joy-Cons. Developed by CRKD, the Nitro Deck 2 is compatible with both handheld and docked modes, offering a more versatile gaming experience.
One of the standout features of this new Nitro Deck 2 is the inclusion of full-sized analog sticks, similar to those found on the Pro Controller. These CaptiSticks are equipped with Hall Effect technology, which prevents stick drift over time. Players can also adjust the resistance of these sticks to their preference, and the combination of tops and D-pads can be swapped to suit individual tastes.
In addition to the improved sticks, the Nitro Deck 2 comes with four back buttons, two additional shoulder buttons, and fully remappable controls, providing a wide array of gaming options. The device is also compatible with the original Switch and Switch OLED, thanks to a tightening dial on the back. This versatility makes the Nitro Deck 2 a valuable addition to any Switch 2 owner's collection, potentially eliminating the need for multiple controllers.
