Gaming peripheral maker CRKD has revealed new Tomb Raider-inspired special editions of its Nitro Deck+ and NEO S controllers in its latest collaboration with Limited Run Games.
Both controllers are strictly limited to 1,000 units and feature artwork inspired by the recently released Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered trilogy. This includes a mountainous background and, in the case of the NEO S, a silhouette of Lara herself. Aside from the decal, both feature a striking blue hue with bright orange highlights on the joysticks and triggers.
The Tomb Raider Special Edition Nitro Deck+ costs $79.99, while the Tomb Raider Special Edition NEO S Controller is a little cheaper at $59.99. Pre-orders are now available exclusively through the Limited Run Games website and will only be available for a limited time.
The Nitro Deck+ is an improved version of the Nitro Deck, a peripheral that we already consider one of the best Nintendo Switch accessories on the market. We gave it five out of five stars in our Nitro Deck review, calling it an essential accessory for Nintendo Switch owners. If you need a quick summary, it is effectively a portable dock that gives you comfortable grips, excellent buttons, and premium Hall effect levers while in portable mode.
The latest Nitro Deck+ differs from the original Nitro Deck in a few important ways, including the switch to a symmetrical joystick layout and the addition of an HDMI output for TV playback.
We were also big fans of the NEO S, which earned four out of five stars in our NEO S review. We praised its portable design and highly collectible nature, not to mention the controller's excellent battery life. The Tomb Raider Special Edition NEO S controller also comes with a nifty charging dock, which doubles as its own display stand.
While Nitro Deck+ is exclusively compatible with Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch OLED, the NEO S is compatible with all Nintendo Switch models in addition to PC, iOS, and Android.
It looks like these new special editions are shaping up to be a real treat for Tomb Raider fans and game controller collectors alike.
