The biggest feature added to the Nitro Deck+ is HDMI out through the rear USB-C port and an included adapter, which means you’ll be able to leave your Nintendo Switch in the controller when wanting to play on your TV.

CRKD also says that they’ve increased the comfort of the controller, with the most obvious change being symmetrical thumbsticks. There are new programmable “sidekick” buttons on the front, adding to the usefulness of the Nitro Deck+ in games.
They’ve kept all the most popular aspects of the original controller as well, being drift-free Hall Effect joysticks and triggers, vibration adjustment, and swappable stick tops.
The CRKD Nitro Deck+ is available for preorder and is set to ship sometime in April 2023.
