Gaming on the go has always come with a compromise. You either carry a full-sized controller and accept the bulk, use a compromised controller that lacks features, or use your phone’s touchscreen and accept the frustration.
The CRKD ATOM+ aims to address that problem. The ATOM+ is a palm-sized Bluetooth controller that works across Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch 1, PC, mobile devices, tablets, and select Smart TVs. At 90mm x 48mm, it’s small enough to fit even in your pocket, comes with an included wrist strap, and costs only $29.99.Is it a proper controller? Yes, and that’s what makes it a great travel companion. Despite its size, ATOM+ features a full control layout, including dual thumbsticks, triggers, a D-pad, and shoulder buttons. While it looks like a stripped-down retro controller for playing 2D platformers, it is the opposite. You can play modern titles with ATOM+ without feeling like you’re missing something. My favorite thing about this controller is that its thumbsticks use TMR technology, which stands for Tunnel Magneto-Resistance. In plain terms, it means instead of physical contact between the components, it uses magnetic shifts, delivering higher sensitivity and precision. Since it doesn’t use physical contact, stick drift is not a concern here. It’s an upgrade over traditional thumbsticks, and a welcome one. What else does it bring to the table? The ATOM+ also features motion controls, vibration feedback, and a rechargeable battery with USB-C charging. You can also connect it to the CRKD Companion App to remap buttons, update firmware, and tweak settings. The ATOM+ is available for pre-order now in four colors: Smoke Black, Glacier Blue, Retro Purple, and Pal Grey. It is available for pre-order now with estimated shipping in late June 2026.
