CRKD launches “impossibly small” keychain controller

CRKD has launched a brand-new incredibly small ‘ATOM’ controller, which doubles up as a keychain.

CRKD and tiny controllers go hand in hand. The brand, which first started with the iconic Nitro Deck, already has the Neo S controllers for the Nintendo Switch.

Now, the brand’s controllers have gotten “impossibly small” with the launch of the brand-new ATOM Collectible Keychain Controller.

The ATOM controller is designed to be taken on the go. Its accompanying wrist strap ensures it can be secured during play or attached to keychains, lanyards, and backpacks.

With wireless Bluetooth tech in tow, the ATOM controller can hook up to the Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac, and a range of smartphones, tablets, and smart TV devices.

It may not have the bells and whistles of the Nitro Deck+. But the “small yet mighty” controller still provides up to 10 hours of battery life.

Plus, it can be charged with a micro USB-C to USB-A adaptor, if you need more juice.

Although it might not look like it, the controller also features four shoulder buttons, making it compatible with a wide variety of games.

Whether you want to play some classic Super Mario Bros or the extra challenge of an Elden Ring run on this tiny gamepad, it’s also compatible with the DRKD True Collection System.

This free mobile app lets you connect the ATOM to a compatible device with a tap of a button. As well as add it to a unique collection list.

While the ATOM may be incredibly small, CRKD has also launched the keychain controller in a huge variety of styles and colors.

The “eye-popping” color range consists of eight unique variations, within two ‘Grey Editions’ — one with SNES colored buttons, and the other pink and orange.

There are also two translucent plastic versions in ‘Atomic Purple’ and ‘Glacier Blue’, reminiscent of the 90s plastic tech trend.

These are in addition to four solid-colored keychain controllers, available in Yuzu Yellow, Hot Pink Edition, Leaf Green Edition, and Sky Blue Edition.

If you’re friends with Ant-Man or just want a travel-friendly compact controller, the ATOM is available right now for $19.99 from the CRKD website.
