Feels like it’s gonna CRK.CRKD is the latest accessory manufacturer to produce a premium alternative to Nintendo’s own Pro Controller on Switch 2, but it’s one that needs a lot of refinement if it’s to become a legitimate competitor.Priced at $69.99 / €79.99 / £64.99, the Ult Pro sits below the Pro Controller and roughly at par with Gulikit’s excellent TT line, price-wise.
