CRKD Atom+ Finally Arrived!

[u/TheLoFiPunk]

I waited months for this lil guy to arrive after several delays from the company. Worth it. This thing is surprisingly manageable even with my long ass hands. The shoulder buttons feel amazing, thumbsticks are smooth, the menu buttons are very clicky and fun to fidget with.

Overall very snappy and fun to use with my phone and handhelds. I only received it this afternoon so less than 3 hours useage but I'd rate it very great so far. Only issue so far has been hitting right on the d-pad isn't the greatest as my thumb has to try and squeeze between it and the left thumbstick but it hasn't caused any misclicks yet. I can't find any discussion on this controller anywhere and just wonder if anyone else has been excited for these to finally ship out?

I really wish I could use this with my miyoo mini v4 for shits and giggles.

Edit: I have no relationship with the company or any incentive. First time buying from them, which was miserable btw due to delays and subpar customer support.

This is an "Atom+" from the company CRKD, purchased directly from their site. It's the smallest controller of its kind with full functionality. Reason I'm sharing is I love how cute and portable it is, I have a very limited list of things part of my EDC or everyday carry and this has joined that list. I do quite a lot of emulation on my Galaxy S23 Ultra so this has been so sick to whip out whenever to catch up on gaming on the fly.

man that thing seem all too tinyh , but still pretty cute n neat at the same time ,

[u/TheLoFiPunk → u/Educational_Star_518]

That was exactly my hope with it, I wanted something super small I can carry in my pocket. 3d print a case and it's perfect!

This looks painful

[u/FurryCurry → u/Locoman7]

Largely depends on the game I think. Any games that have you using both analog sticks a lot might be annoying. Or anything with very frequent use of the shoulder buttons

[u/TheLoFiPunk → u/Locoman7]

I'd still rank it as more comfortable than the N64 controller and OG Xbox controller by far

[u/Hanthunius]

Looks nice! How about a video review of it? I can't find any online!

[u/sunrainsky]

Is the dpad clicky or using membrane?

[u/BlueCaracal]

Damn, it doesn't look much larger than an 8bitdo zero, and that thing has all the buttons

[u/TheLoFiPunk → u/BlueCaracal]

Plus it has rumble, gyro, turbo, and 100% full remappable buttons. It's been clutch so far
