Compact gaming controllers have always occupied an awkward spot in the market. Most work well enough for retro titles, where a D-pad and a few buttons are all you need, but they fall short the moment you want to play anything more demanding. Dual thumbsticks are either absent or prone to drifting, and that’s before you factor in the limited platform support most of them offer.
CRKD’s ATOM+ arrives as a direct response to those shortcomings. It’s the follow-up to the brand’s original ATOM keychain controller, but with noticeably bigger ambitions. Rather than catering only to retro gaming, it’s built around a complete control layout and a feature you’d typically find on premium full-sized gamepads: zero-drift TMR thumbsticks. The result is a palm-sized controller that doesn’t ask you to trade performance for portability.
Designer: CRKD
The TMR, or Tunnel Magnetoresistance, thumbsticks are arguably the ATOM+’s most significant selling point. Unlike traditional analog sticks that use physical contact points that wear down with use, TMR technology relies on magnetic sensors to read input, which means accuracy doesn’t degrade over time. Stick drift has been a persistent nuisance in gaming, and it’s particularly glaring in small controllers, where replacement or repair isn’t exactly straightforward.
Beyond those thumbsticks, the ATOM+ carries a full control layout with triggers and shoulder buttons, making it capable of handling modern titles without restrictions. At 90mm x 48mm, it fits in a jacket pocket, which means it’s genuinely useful for commuting, travel, or just gaming away from your usual setup. It’s the kind of controller you can toss in a bag and forget about until you need it.
Platform compatibility is another area where the ATOM+ covers its bases. It connects over Bluetooth to the Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch, PC and PC handhelds, iOS and Android devices, and even select smart TVs. The Switch-style button layout keeps things familiar regardless of what you’re playing on, and for a controller this small, the breadth of supported platforms earns its keep rather than just reading as a marketing claim.
There’s also motion control support, a turbo mode, and vibration feedback baked in. Motion controls, in particular, add an extra dimension for compatible Switch titles where gyro aiming can genuinely make a difference. These aren’t features you’d expect to find on a controller this size, and they make the ATOM+ feel less like a novelty and more like a legitimate primary controller for portable gaming sessions.
CRKD also pairs the ATOM+ with its companion app, which lets you tune inputs, update firmware, and customize settings via the CTRL feature. The controller is RFID-enabled too, tapping into CRKD’s True Collection System, so you can tap your phone to it and pull up details like its product number and rarity rank. It’s a collectible angle that’s a bit unusual for a gamepad, but a fun one nonetheless. For gamers who’ve been burned by drift-prone compact controllers, or just want something pocketable that handles any game thrown at it, the ATOM+ is hard to ignore.
