FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Hall Effect thumbsticks?
Hall Effect thumbsticks use magnetic sensors instead of physical contact, which prevents stick drift and offers highly precise, consistent control over time.
Can I use the Nitro Deck+ wirelessly?
No, the Nitro Deck+ features a wired-only USB-C connectivity for low latency performance. It does not support wireless Bluetooth connections.
How do I customize the programmable buttons?
Programmable buttons and sidekicks can be customized via the CRKD Companion App. Future updates to the app will unlock full button programming features.
Can I use this with my Nintendo Switch Lite?
The Nitro Deck+ is designed for the standard Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch OLED Model. It is not compatible with the Nintendo Switch Lite due to the Lite's form factor and lack of detachable Joy-Cons.
What is the purpose of the CRKD Companion App?
The CRKD Companion App allows you to register your Nitro Deck+ into your 'True Collection System' collection, view its rarity, and will eventually offer advanced customization options like button programming and trigger sensitivity adjustments.
Does it work in docked mode?
Yes, the Nitro Deck+ supports playing in docked mode when connected to a TV. A USB-C to HDMI adapter is included with pre-orders for this purpose.
Can I change the thumbstick tops?
Yes, the Nitro Deck+ features swappable stick tops. You can purchase CRKD Stick Top Packs to customize the look and feel of your controller.
Troubleshooting
Controller not recognized by Nintendo Switch
Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the controller and the Switch. Try a different USB-C port on the Switch or dock. Restart your Nintendo Switch.
Stick drift or inaccurate analog input
The Hall Effect thumbsticks are designed to prevent drift. If issues persist, try recalibrating the controllers through the Nintendo Switch system settings. Ensure no debris is obstructing the thumbstick mechanism. Contact support if the issue continues.
Buttons are unresponsive
Check if the buttons are physically obstructed. If using programmable buttons, ensure they are correctly mapped through the CRKD app (once available) or default settings. Restart the controller and Switch.
Low latency issues or input lag
Confirm you are using a direct wired USB-C connection. Ensure no other USB devices are causing interference. Close unnecessary background applications on the Switch if applicable.
Reflex vibration not working
Check if vibration is enabled in the Nintendo Switch system settings and within any applicable game settings. Ensure the controller is properly connected.
