CRKD's Atom Plus Pairs a Compact Body With Dual Analog Thumbsticks

A reviewer who travels with a Nintendo Switch 2 finds the Joy-Con awkward as a standalone gamepad and has long searched for a smaller alternative. CRKD's new Atom Plus is described as closely matching the size of 8BitDo's Zero 2 while offering much more of the functionality of a full-size controller. The device includes dual analog thumbsticks, which the reviewer says sets it apart from the Zero 2 for games that need them. However, the writer notes that its strong focus on portability may be uncomfortable for users with larger hands. The gamepad is listed at $29.
