And right now, some of these excellent accessories are cheaper than they've ever been.

The biggest winner this week is the enhanced Nitro Deck+, currently available for just $44.99 (was $69.99) at Amazon. That's a record-low rate in the US as well as the UK, where shoppers can pick one up for just £42.49 (was £69.99) at Amazon.
CRKD's deals aren't stopping there. The standard Nitro Deck is the one to go for if you're on a budget, or prefer an asymmetrical thumbstick layout. It's available for as low as $34.49 (was $59.99) at Amazon for the Rocket League Edition. In the UK, the best Nitro Deck deal goes to the white colorway, at £34.99 (was £44.99) at Amazon.

A new lowest-ever for the exceptional Nitro Deck+. Compared to the standard model, this enhanced version of the Switch-facing accessory offers symmetrical thumbsticks - similar to Steam Deck - and comes with a HDMI cable for docked play on TV. Expect slightly better build quality here, too.

The best Nitro Deck+ rate in the UK, beating out the Clear Black Edition by a solid fiver. I've listed that one just below if you prefer, but again, it's really tough to turn down this model at this discounted price.
<p><strong>Clear Black Edition: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.co.uk%2FCRKD-Nitro-Deck-HDMI-Adapter%2Fdp%2FB0D8YGPT3G%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-21%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-21" target="_blank"><strong>Amazon - £47.49For the UK, the best Nitro Deck rate comes with the plain White edition. I still think this is a very pleasing colorway, especially with the black buttons, sticks, and d-pad contrasting nicely here.

While we patiently wait for CRKD to (hopefully!) announce a new version for Nintendo Switch 2, these originals are still essential for the first Switch console.
The Nitro Deck is, in essence, a portable controller for your Switch's handheld display. You slot the display into it, where it connects via USB-C. The Deck itself acts as a controller as well as sort of a protective shell for your system, achieving two things at once.
You can also expect drift-beating Hall effect sticks that aren't present on the pack-in Joy-Con controllers. Its buttons and triggers also feel great, with four additional remappable buttons found on the rear. If you regularly play your original Switch in handheld mode, I can't recommend either the Nitro Deck or Nitro Deck+ enough.
