Big News About the Next Small Thing: CRKD Powers Up the Fall Gaming Season with the Shipping of ATOM+, A New-Generation of Advanced Micro Controllers
Miniature Footprint with Massive Innovation, the ATOM+ Delivers Palm Sized Power Wherever You Go!
Livermore, CA – September 23, 2026 – CRKD™, the premium collectible gaming brand known for their highly popular Nitro™ Deck, and line of premium rhythm gaming products, announced today that their highly-anticipated ATOM+ collectible keychain controller, has begun shipping globally.
Defying its diminutive size, the ATOM+ contains a whole lot of features, compatible with a wide variety of gaming platforms including Nintendo® Switch™2 | 1, PC, mobile devices, tablets, and Smart TVs, and thanks to its complement of Twin Thumbsticks and, Triggers and Action Buttons, this collectible controller delivers 100% full-fat gaming power at home or away.
Begging to be displayed, the ATOM+ ships in a choice of four eye-catching colors, and is small enough to attach to a keychain, backpack or just about anything you can imagine. A true evolution of the companies’ original ATOM controller, the ATOM+ has spared no expense in levelling-up the technology. TMR (Tunnelling Magnetoresistance) technology features on both Thumbsticks, a new magnetic sensor technology offering superior performance, precision and power consumption vs traditional mechanical or Hall-Effect Thumbsticks and resigning dreaded stick-drift as a thing of the past.
CRKD hasn’t skimped elsewhere on the ATOM+ either, with the miniature marvel featuring a full set of controls including action buttons, digital triggers, shoulder buttons, and toggle controls, providing players with a familiar controller layout in an ultra-portable format.
The ATOM+ connects via Bluetooth®, allowing for effortless wireless pairing with your chosen device, while a built-in rechargeable battery powered via USB-C ensures players can stay charged and ready to go get gaming wherever they may be.
