I absolutely love this controller for when I am playing cozy and relaxed games. I use it for PC gaming mainly so my only irritation is the Nintendo button layout. Even though the buttons are identical they are each keyed so you can not just open the controller and swap it to traditional xbox layout. I inquired with CRKD about getting a set of xbox buttons because I have seen one of their controllers with that layout and know they make them, but I was told it is impossible to swap the buttons and will void the warranty if attempted. Which is disappointing but I understand.
The look of the controller is just beautiful. The feel of it is very high quality and doesn't feel like a cheap toy, it has a nice weight and texture.
The battery seems to last forever and I am always caught off guard when I need to throw it on the charger.
It works flawlessly paired to my PC and to my Steam Deck, I have not had any issues with it dropping the connection or any perceivable input lag. I have not had the desire to attempt connecting it as a pro controller to my PC to use the tilt controls, so I can't speak on that function.
Overall this is an amazing controller, it is so good I won't take a star off for my disappointing Customer Service interaction.

Fantastic retro controller
The Neo S is an amazing controller. Retro games, shooters, RPGs, etc....it feels fine when playing whatever genre you're into. The size was bigger than I thought, but I like that. The latency/connectivity is exceptional as well. The buttons feel nice, and the joysticks have a decent amount of tension. Also, the CRKD app is easy to use if you want to further tweak the controller's settings and remap buttons or adjust joystick and trigger travel distance and sensitivity. Overall, this is one of my favorite controllers. 5/5 easy.

Mini review of Neo S: Is small but mighty.
Color: Classic ClearVerified Purchase So this is my thoughts on CRKD’s Neo S after over 2 weeks of use. So first product I bought from CRKD is Nitro Deck + before my Nintendo Switch died after 7 years having it. It was really good product and when I look in to Neo S I was bit sceptical about the controller, thankfully I got it for sale on here and the give it a go…..it was a pretty good controller. (Despite I haven’t own a 3rd party controllers since PS2 days)Gordon WolfMini review of Neo S: Is small but mighty.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 2, 2025
The build quality is great, despite look of size of NeoS the design is great that gives out NES look, is surprisingly comfortable to my hands whys, the buttons feel nice & responsive by size I have no issues on accidental button press, the back buttons are good that you can set up more then 2 buttons to the back buttons by app or by the controller itself, great variety of limited editions choice from, hall effect sticks are a must especially long term use, yes this does work with switch (despite I haven’t tested switch yet) and app it has with me works good with more features on hand.
Also this has gyro controls so for Switch games or games on mobile or PC it is handy, personally I don’t use gyro is not really my thing. I just leave that off to begin with but is there if you want to use it. One good thing about controller it has like Nitro Deck swappable thumbs sticks you can buy sold separately and if you already have thumb sticks for Nitro Deck it works with Neo S no problem.
However, I have come across issues including what people said online about the controller. The Bluetooth issue on PC is real that when I first time connected to PC if is by Switch Pro Controller mode or Xinput, it works good then when I disconnect or put PC in sleep mode. When I try reconnect to PC….it keeps disconnecting, thankfully on CRKD’s Discord I got one of people that helped me getting to work on PC & it hasn’t done it since then. Is odd on mobile it works perfectly with switch mode and xinput mode (Btw this is after the update I did on controller by the app that fixed Switch Mode latency issue) On Switch like I said I haven’t tested controller on Nintendo Switch, I have been told tho it works really well so you don’t have to worry about that issue on Switch.
I seen people complaining about latency is worse on xinput then switch mode that I didn’t noticed difference (but is best to pair controller on PC by Switch mode and also wired mode, despite some people say they wired mode is bit off on Switch & PC keep that in mind) sometimes when controller is low on battery it becomes weird with inputs and sometimes the app despite I said to works good, but I didn’t come across bugs which thankfully is not that common with me. Again I have Nitro Deck + so I know how the app is.
So if your a person who has PC & buying this controller, I do recommend looking at other options and if you already got Neo S if you planning it to use it on PC. Is best go on CRKD’s Discord so you get help from community.
In other hand, if want a controller for switch or mobile who wants to have controller with lots of modern features in a classic build, this is controller for you. Do recommend getting on sale is not really worth £50 for Neo S whys, if you want have charger or Fornite edition yeah go for it I’m not stopping you. Lol
So yeah CRKD did good job with the controller despite the bugs, hopefully CRKD fix the PC Bluetooth problems with update to Neo S & also take notes on there future projects and it be cool to see CRKD makes other controllers that are like the XBOX controller….but with there own nostalgic spin on to it.
So that is my thoughts on Neo S, I hope this short review is been helpful. 💙🐺👍🏻
