One of my main frustrations with playing the Nintendo Switch in handheld mode is how uncomfortable it gets. The Joy-Con controllers that come with the Switch are great in a pinch, but they just weren’t built for longer gaming sessions. I love the Nintendo Switch Pro controller for playing games on my TV, but whenever I play on the go I use the Nitro Deck.

I purchased my CRKD Nitro Deck during Prime Day last year when it dropped in price, but Amazon has just discounted the price on the white model even further. Right now, you can pick up this great Switch accessory for 24% off its normal price.

Multiple colors of the Nitro Deck are currently on sale, but only the white version has dropped to its lowest-ever price. You can purchase the black, gray, blue, and pink versions for just $2 more. There are also various special editions that are quite a bit more expensive that are discounted.

The selling point of the Nitro Deck is comfort. The grips fit my hands wonderfully, and the controller itself includes gyro compatibility and rumble support. There’s also a convenient kickstand that lets you set your Switch upright on a flat surface. Unlike some Joy-Con, the joysticks offer zero stick drift. You can also remap the buttons if you want to take customization further.

Will the Nitro Deck Work With Switch 2?

Now that we know the Nintendo Switch 2 is coming out later this year, you may be wondering if this particular Switch accessory will be compatible with the new hardware. The answer is no. The Switch 2 will be larger than the standard Switch, so the Nitro Deck will not be compatible with it. You will only be able to use it with the standard Switch model and the Nintendo Switch OLED.
