This tiny gamepad with dual analog thumbsticks pushes the limits of portable controllers
As much as I appreciate the ingenious design of the Nintendo Switch's Joy-Con, my family and I can't stand using them as standalone gamepads. So when we travel with the Switch 2, we always bring at least one full-size gamepad, plus a couple of 8BitDo's Zero 2 controllers for games that don't use analog thumbsticks. I've spent years hunting for an alternative that pairs the size of the Zero 2 with as much of the functionality of a larger controller as I can get, and CRKD's new Atom Plus is nearly exactly that. But if you have larger hands like I do, you may find the gamepad's focus on portability a struggle.
