CRKD just launched new Fortnite-themed limited editions of its excellent Nitro Deck and Nitro Deck+ Nintendo Switch grips and Neo S wireless controllers, and like other official Fortnite accessories, each one includes codes to unlock bonus in-game cosmetics. The standouts of the quartet of new devices are the Nitro Deck and Nitro Deck+ models, which adorn our favorite Switch premium handheld controllers with exclusive Fortnite-themed skins. There are also two new variants of the Neo S Wireless controller for Switch, PC, and mobile that feature the Fortnite characters Peely and Raven. All four controllers are available now at Amazon.
$80
This limited edition version of the Nitro Deck+ features a unique color scheme and pattern based on the Fortnite character Renegade Raider, and comes with a code to unlock the O.G. Glider skin in the game.
As mentioned earlier, the Nitro Deck+ is our favorite premium Switch handheld controller. While it works great as a grip and gamepad, it even works as its own dock, supporting charging and USB-C video passthrough. It’s equipped with anti-drift Hall Effect thumbsticks, six programmable buttons (four on the back and two on the sides), and a kickstand.
The Nitro Deck+ Renegade Raider Fortnite Edition is a great option for Fortnite fans who want to show off their love for the game, but it’s worth noting this new device $80, which is $10 more than most other Nitro Deck+ models. We’ve listed a few more Nitro Deck+ deals below in case you’re interested in shopping around.

CRKD also has a new Fortnite-themed version of its standard Nitro Deck controller. The color scheme for this one is based on the Cuddle Team Leader, and it includes a code for the Cuddle Cruiser Glider in-game item.
The standard Nitro Deck model is very close in design and functionality to the Nitro Deck+, but with a few key differences, like no USB-C video passthrough and no sidekick buttons. It also features an offset thumbstick layout instead of the parallel placement like on the Nitro Deck+, though it still uses Hall Effect sticks.
The Nitro Deck Cuddle Team Leader Fortnite Edition is available for $60 at Amazon. Just like with the new Fortnite Edition Nitro Deck+, that’s $10 more expensive than the $50 other color options sell for, so we’ve included a list of other models in case you’re curious about what else is available.

CRKD’s Neo S Wireless Controller is a compact, rectangular gamepad featuring all the standard buttons, D-pad, and thumbsticks you’d expect from other controllers, plus two extra back buttons. It also uses Hall Effect thumbsticks and triggers, and supports Bluetooth connectivity on Switch, mobile, and PC–including handhelds like Steam Deck, the ROG Ally, and Lenovo Legion Go. This model sports a purple and blue color scheme and decals based on the Raven character from Fortnite and includes a charging dock and a code for the Viceroy Mark I Glider in-game item.
$60
This model has all the same features as the other new Neo S Fortnite Edition Wireless Controller, including the charging dock, but sports a yellow design based on Peely. You’ll also get a code for the Drip Dropper Glider.
While all four of these Fortnite-themed CRKD controllers are in stock and available, it’s worth noting these are limited-edition accessories and could sell out fast.
If you’re looking to complete your collection, CRKD also launched a Fortnite Festival Edition of the Neo S controller with a unique purple color scheme that includes a detachable 5-fret module to use in Fortnite’s Guitar Hero-like Festival mode. It’s available at Amazon for $60. The company is also launching a line of Gibson Les Paul guitar controllers on June 27, and while they’re not specifically Fortnite-themed, they’re designed to be used with Festival mode. Preorders are available at Amazon.
If you’re interested in picking up a Fortnite-themed controller for PS5 (and PC), PlayStation’s Fortnite Limited Edition DualSense is available once again for $85 at Amazon and Walmart.
