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.

This may just be the cheapest price I've ever seen a Nitro Deck drop to. So long as you don't mind the Rocket League-inspired livery, this is the one to go for if you're looking to save as much cash as possible. I've also listed other colorways that are on sale here:

Today's best Nitro Deck Black Friday deals in the UK

CRKD Nitro Deck+ - Clear White Edition
Save 39%
CRKD Nitro Deck+ - Clear White Edition: was £69.99 now £42.49 at Amazon

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 - £47.49

CRKD Nitro Deck - White
Save 22%
CRKD Nitro Deck - White: was £44.99 now £34.99 at Amazon

For 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.

<p><strong>Retro Blue: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.co.uk%2FCRKD-Nitro-Deck-Professional-Controller%2Fdp%2FB0CSG91RJD%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-21%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-21" target="_blank"><strong>Amazon - £41.36<br /><strong>Retro Pink: <a href="https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=8428&GR_URL=https%3A%2F%2Famazon.co.uk%2FCRKD-Nitro-Deck-Professional-Controller%2Fdp%2FB0CSG91RJD%3Ftag%3Dhawk-future-21%26ascsubtag%3Dhawk-custom-tracking-21" target="_blank"><strong>Amazon - £41.49

The Nitro Deck and Nitro Deck+ are among the best Nintendo Switch accessories. 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.
