CRKD Unveils ULT PRO: Feature-Packed Controller for Nintendo Switch Generations
Accessory manufacturer CRKD, recognized for products like the Nitro Deck and specialized guitar controllers, has officially revealed the ULT PRO—an advanced, premium-grade gamepad designed for both the Nintendo Switch and its upcoming successor, the Nintendo Switch 2.
This announcement further cements CRKD’s commitment to delivering high-quality gaming peripherals for the expanding ecosystem of Nintendo hardware.
The ULT PRO is set to launch in June 2026, retailing at $69.99 in the US, €79.99 in Europe, £64.99 in the UK, and A$129.99 in Australia.
Available at launch in two sleek colorways—Smoke Black and Pal Grey—the Smoke Black model will also feature wider compatibility with PC platforms.
This controller aims to deliver professional-grade performance, catering to both casual and competitive players on the Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, and PC.
Advanced Features for Enthusiasts
CRKD’s ULT PRO controller is packed with a comprehensive feature list, including proprietary TMR Thumbsticks engineered for zero stick drift and maximum precision.
Gamers can connect via Bluetooth, an ultra-low latency 2.4GHz dongle, or by USB-C wired mode—which simultaneously charges the device.
The ULT PRO also supports a lightning-fast 1000Hz polling rate in PC mode, appealing to competitive gaming audiences.
For personalization, the controller comes with swappable stick tops and D-pad options, allowing players to customize tactile feedback and appearance to their liking.
The controller caters to both comfort and functionality with its ergonomic shape designed for extended gaming sessions, adjustable rumble for immersive feedback, six extra remappable buttons (including four back buttons), programmable macros, dual four-way toggle buttons for system functions, and a unique trigger toggle system that lets users switch between short-click and smooth, longer trigger travel.
The platform slider enables quick switching between connected devices, making the ULT PRO a flexible choice for multi-platform gamers.
Additional convenience comes via the included charging dock, reminiscent in style to the dock bundled with competing options like the 8BitDo Pro 3.
This accessory not only provides a dedicated charging and display solution but ensures your controller stays powered and ready for gaming sessions.
The ULT PRO also works seamlessly with the CRKD Companion App, allowing users to manage controller profiles and access advanced configuration settings.
According to a CRKD spokesperson, the ULT PRO was "built from the ground up to deliver both reliability and a level of customization essential for modern gamers," underscoring the company's focus on both user experience and robust engineering.
Compatibility with Switch 1 and 2
Crucially, the ULT PRO is confirmed to support both the current-generation Nintendo Switch and the forthcoming Nintendo Switch 2, significantly future-proofing the accessory for Nintendo fans invested in the company's evolving console ecosystem.
While some features like wake-from-sleep on Switch 2 are yet to be elaborated, CRKD’s transparency and feature set place the ULT PRO among the most fully equipped controllers set to hit the market.
Atom+: Compact On-the-Go Gaming
Alongside the ULT PRO, CRKD announced the Atom+, an ultra-compact Bluetooth controller also compatible with both Switch 1 and 2.
Built for portability, the Atom+ incorporates TMR Thumbsticks and is marketed as the perfect secondary controller for travel or quick multiplayer sessions.
With its robust features, competitive price point, and dual-generational Switch support, the CRKD ULT PRO positions itself as a compelling option in the Nintendo Switch accessories market.
Gamers can find the ULT PRO through CRKD’s official site and authorized retailers from June 2026.
