CRKD Is An Accessory Maker With A Palm-Sized Controller With TMR Sticks

CRKD is an accessory maker that has crafted a palm-sized controller called the Atom+. This miniature controller can easily be carried around as a keychain due to its compact size, though its dimensions are impressive for a handheld gaming controller. At roughly the width of an average adult's palm and about the thickness of two or three smartphones stacked together, the Atom+ certainly stands out from the crowd.

Due to its small size, it may not be the most comfortable option for gamers with larger hands, but the inclusion of tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) sticks helps mitigate stick drift, even under rigorous use.

The Atom+ connects to devices via USB-C, serving a dual purpose as a charging and connectivity port. Additionally, Bluetooth connectivity is also available for use. Despite its diminutive size, it still offers a range of features such as vibration feedback for compatible games, motion control, a turbo mode, and programmable buttons. These are all managed through the CRKD app.

The Atom+ is available in four color options – Smoke Black, Glacier Blue, Retro Purple, and PAL Grey. Priced at RM137, according to the CRKD website, it's a value-packed offering that provides a comprehensive set of features for the price. While those seeking analogue-input adaptive triggers may need to look elsewhere, the Atom+'s impressive feature set and compact design make it a standout choice for gamers seeking a unique handheld controller.
