CRKD delays Nitro Deck 2, ULT Pro, and ATOM+ controllers

CRKD announced the Nitro Deck 2 in December 2025 with an expected shipping date set for Spring 2026. Now, it has released a statement saying that the controller, which is compatible with the Switch and Switch 2, will now be released in July 2026.

The announcement was made via an official blog post on its website, and according to CRKD, they decided to move the estimated shipping date of the Nitro Deck 2 to late July 2026. Interestingly, the Nitro Deck 2 is available to pre-order on Amazon for $99.99 in White, Shadow Black, and Pal Grey, but the listing says the controller will be released on June 30, 2026.

The postponement is said to be caused by delays due to final evaluations and approvals, and as it stands, there's still one more evaluation before the controller goes into mass production. This delay will result in the pilot production beginning in May while full production will start in June. CRKD says the delay will also affect those who pre-ordered the LRG Fusion Limited Edition made in collaboration with the video games publisher, Limited Run Games.

Unfortunately, it is not just the Nitro Deck 2 that will be delayed, CRKD has also announced that the ULT Pro and Atom+ mini controller announced in late March will now ship in late July, too. The Amazon listings for the ULT Pro wireless controller and that of the Atom+ mini both reveal a release date of July 30 and July 1 respectively.
