The gaming peripherals manufacturer CRKD has introduced new special editions of its Nitro Deck+ and NEO S controllers inspired by Tomb Raider in its most recent partnership with Limited Run Games.
Both controllers are limited to only 1,000 units each and showcase artwork influenced by the recently remastered Tomb Raider 1-3 trilogy. Featuring a mountainous background and, for the NEO S, a silhouette of Lara Croft herself. Apart from the design, they both sport a striking blue color with vibrant orange accents on the thumbsticks and triggers.
The Tomb Raider Special Edition Nitro Deck+ is priced at $79.99, while the Tomb Raider Special Edition NEO S Controller is slightly more affordable at $59.99. Exclusive pre-orders are currently open on the Limited Run Games website and will be available for a limited time only.
The Nitro Deck+ is an upgraded version of the Nitro Deck, which is already considered one of the top accessories for the Nintendo Switch available in the market. In our review of the Nitro Deck, we gave it a rare five-star rating, labeling it as a must-have accessory for all Nintendo Switch users. To quickly summarize, it acts as a handheld dock offering comfortable grips, excellent buttons, and premium Hall effect sticks for handheld mode.
Distinct from the original Nitro Deck, the newer Nitro Deck+ features a symmetrical thumbstick layout and now includes an HDMI output for TV usage.
We also admired the NEO S, receiving a four-star rating in our review. We commended its compact design, high collectability, and exceptional battery life. The Tomb Raider Special Edition NEO S Controller also includes a handy charging dock that can double up as a display stand.
While the Nitro Deck+ is tailored for compatibility with the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch OLED, the NEO S is versatile, working with all Nintendo Switch models as well as PC, iOS, and Android platforms.
These fresh special editions seem to be a delightful treat for both devoted Tomb Raider fans and aficionados of unique gaming controllers.
