CRKD, the collectible gaming brand known for the Nitro Deck and premium rhythm gaming products, announced its latest creation today: the ATOM+. This ultra-compact keychain controller is designed to deliver full-featured gameplay across multiple platforms while remaining small enough to carry anywhere. TheATOM+ is expected to begin shipping in June 2026.
The controller supports a wide range of devices, including Nintendo Switch 2 | 1, PC, mobile devices, tablets, and Smart TVs. Despite its compact form, it includes dual Thumbsticks, action buttons, triggers, shoulder buttons, and toggle controls, giving players a familiar layout in a pocket-sized package.
A major feature of the ATOM+ is its TMR (Tunnelling Magnetoresistance) Thumbsticks. This next-generation magnetic sensor eliminates stick drift and provides greater precision than traditional mechanical or Hall Effect sensors. The ATOM+ connects wirelessly through Bluetooth and includes a USB-C rechargeable battery, making it convenient for gaming on the move.
The controller also comes with a wrist strap for secure handling during play or to attach to a backpack, keychain, or bag when not in use. Players can customize the experience through the CRKD Companion App, which allows button remapping, vibration adjustments, firmware updates, and device management via the CRKD CTRL dashboard.
ATOM+ integrates with the CRKD True Collection System. Users can register their controller in the app to view its unique product number and rarity rank, adding it to a digital collection of CRKD products.
Key features include:
- Ultra-compact design for portability
- Dual four-way toggle buttons
- Vibration feedback and motion control
- Turbo mode for repeated button inputs
- Programmable buttons via the CRKD Companion App
- Bluetooth connectivity for multiple platforms
- USB-C rechargeable battery
- Wrist strap included
The ATOM+ will be available in four colors: Smoke Black, Glacier Blue, Retro Purple, and Pal Grey. It will retail for $29.99 / €34.99 / £29.99 / A$54.99.
“ATOM+ builds on the original ATOM by adding TMR Thumbsticks and a wider control layout while keeping the controller highly portable,” said Jack Guinchard, CRKD Global Brand Manager. “It delivers full gaming functionality in a form factor that can go anywhere.”
