Switch 2 accessory falls short by a few millimeters

The Crkd Nitro Deck rescued many original Nintendo Switch owners from stick drift. Priced at $59.99, this slide‑on module added Hall‑effect sticks to consoles that suffered from drift, eliminating the need to open a Joy‑Con for a complex fix. The newer Nitro Deck 2, compatible with both the original Switch and the larger Switch 2, keeps the tradition of offering sticks that outperform those found in Nintendo’s latest Joy‑Cons, although they are not Hall‑effect or TMR designs. Despite this improvement, the accessory feels less indispensable, and one flaw stands out: the ABXY face buttons are hard to press because the right stick intrudes on their space.
