CRKD Reveals New Themed Controllers | popgeeks.com

CRKD makes third-party controllers like the Neo S, a cross-compatible controller for consoles and PC, and the Nitro Deck, a Switch controller that replaces the Joy-Cons on the regular model and adds a few new features. Until now, these products didn’t have goats on them.

CRKD has announced a limited-edition line of Neo Ses and Nitro Decks with designs themed after the Goat Simulator series of games. The colorful designs evoke the games and come with matching docking stations. They emphasize that this is not an April Fool’s joke, but it’s not that far-fetched that something like this would be real. People love their simulated goats, and there’s probably a market for controllers that emphasize that love.

“Finally fans of goat-based video games have a G.O.A.T. controller to call their own,” says Greg Baverstock, VP of Global Business Development for CRKD. “As this is a limited-edition line of hardware, we thought long and hard about our goat-to-market strategy, meaning that Goat Simulator fans can only purchase the new line of hardware directly from Crkd.gg. We’re delighted to work with our friends at Coffee Stain North on our new range of Goat Simulator based controllers, which turns up the bleat for fans of the franchise everywhere!”

Frankly, I find it harder to believe there’s a CRKD controller patterned after Linkin Park.

This isn’t an April Fools’ joke either — there’s a themed game controller for this 2000s band. Why? Because of Fortnite Festival — the controller was made to be used with it (though it can be used with any other game) and comes with an attachment that adds five buttons on the bottom, which are supposed to replicate the frets found on a real guitar. Also, Linkin Park is apparently still alive (shows how much I know) and has a new album coming May 16, The lead single, “Up From The Bottom,” will also be one of two brand new Fortnite Festival Jam Tracks.

You can get both the Linkin Park Neo S, and the Goat Simulator Neo S and Nitro Deck, through the CRKD web store.
