CRKD, the premium collectible gaming brand behind the award-winning Nitro Deck, NEO S and Nitro Deck+ collectible controllers, announced today the small, yet mighty ATOM Collectible Keychain Controller. Impossibly small, yet fully functional and packed with features ATOM is the ideal travel companion for any gamer on the go, ready to play in an instant across a wide variety of gaming platforms.

Adorable, loveable, fashionable, powerful and highly collectible, ATOM features a wrist strap allowing for secure play when on the move, but also allowing the controller to be attached to keychains, lanyards, backpacks and more. Where it goes and how it attaches is up to you, but however and wherever you play, ATOM is always ready to go!



ATOM provides gamers with the ultimate way to express themselves. Available in a choice of eight unique colors, gamers can pick the ATOM that speaks to them, or better yet, collect them all for the ultimate in gaming chic! Pick from Sky Blue, CRKD Grey, Leaf Green, PAL Grey, Hot Pink, Yuzu Yellow, Glacier Blue or Atomic Purple, whatever you choose, you know you're gonna' have fun when gaming on the go.

Featuring wireless Bluetooth technology, ATOM connects easily to Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac, as well as mobile, tablets and Smart TV gaming devices.

A statement piece for certain, ATOM is no slouch when it comes to the features gamers need. A ten-hour rechargeable battery provides more than enough juice for long distance flights, and a micro USB-C to USB-A adapter allows for quick and simple charging. Four Shoulder Buttons feature on the miniature marvel, providing wide compatibility with even the most complex of games, and astonishingly, ATOM is fully compatible with the CRKD True Collection System, the free to download mobile app that allows users to tap their smart device to the controller revealing their product number and rarity rank as well as the ability to add their ATOM to their unique collection. The app also features the CRKD Shop & CRKD TV, a hub for all things CRKD related.

Commenting on the announcement of the ATOM Jack Guinchard, Global Brand Manager of CRKD said, "At CRKD, we're dedicated to creating gaming gear that elevates both the gaming and collectible experience, letting gamers stand out and play different, with products that are just as enjoyable to use as they are to collect. We believe the ATOM is the ultimate expression of our mission statement, an impossibly small yet surprisingly useable wireless controller that is certain to turn heads when gaming on the go. With a choice of eye-popping colors and an impressive feature set that allows gamers to play across multiple gaming platforms, we believe that ATOM is the ultimate summer & holiday accessory for any discerning gamer."

I have seen similar controllers available for quite sometime and have seen people using them to play games while travelling.

I couldn't use that at all. I've seen kids with hands too big for these things. They are cute.....and it might be fun to hook up to other people's devices via bluetooth to mess with them.

Maybe great for kids??? This reminds me of those damn Nintendo Switch joycons. I have normal-sized hands for an adult male, and the Switch joycons are a hand cramp, fumbling to press the right button and not press more than one button at the same time, mess! Oh my, I despise them so much. I actually played some fun games with my son on a Switch, but the joycons ruin it.
