00:00 Meet the Neos, the sister controller to the popular Nitro deck.
00:04 The Neos connects via Bluetooth to your Nintendo Switch, as well as PC, mobile, and can even
00:09 control smart TVs that have Bluetooth capability.
00:12 When we decided to make the Neos, we wanted to create a controller that looked unique,
00:16 but also felt familiar and comfortable.
00:18 This was a fine line to walk, so to achieve this, we took inspiration from some different
00:23 areas.
00:24 The overall shape was inspired from both retro controllers and modern smartphones.
00:28 This helps give a familiar look and feel, and with the textured ergonomics on the back
00:32 of the controller, it's designed to not only feel familiar, but also sit comfortably in
00:37 your hands.
00:38 Although the controller has this touch of familiarity to it, if you compare it to other
00:42 modern controllers, it really stands out.
00:44 The front of the controller has a flat surface, allowing us to create unique designs, and
00:49 it also acts as a canvas for artists to partner with us and express their styles through the
00:54 Neos.
00:55 Our first partnership is with the renowned artist Popart.
00:58 Each design that's created for the Neos will be limited and collectible.
01:02 This helps give a feeling that any Neos that you pick up is uniquely your own.
01:07 This pairs right into our True Collection system, which allows you to scan your Neos
01:11 and see your rarity ranking and what number out of the batch you got.
01:14 Since the Neos is a sister controller to the Nitro Deck, you'll find many features that
01:18 are similar to both devices and the same premium build that you've come to expect from Cracked
01:23 Products.
01:24 Rarity always comes first for us, so we've implemented Hall Effect technology in both
01:28 the triggers and the thumbsticks of the Neos.
01:31 This technology increases the lifespan of your triggers and thumbsticks, and also prevents
01:36 the wearing down that eventually leads to stick drift.
01:38 On top of the Hall sensor, the stick tops are also replaceable, so you can get the look
01:43 and feel that you like with your controller.
01:45 Just like the Nitro Deck, the Neos is compatible with our stick top packs, so if you've already
01:50 picked up a pack, you can use them for both devices.
01:53 Another familiar feature is that the Neos allows for motion controls while you're gaming
01:56 on your Switch.
01:57 So if you're someone who likes controlling your gameplay by tilting your controller,
02:01 the Neos will fit right into your playstyle.
02:03 Flipping over the controller, you're going to find two programmable back buttons.
02:07 These can be programmed to a single button input or multiple inputs, so that way you
02:11 can perform combos with a single button press.
02:14 They're super easy to program too.
02:16 You can reprogram them by holding down the program button on the back of your controller
02:19 for three seconds, until the home button turns purple.
02:22 Once it's purple, you simply press the inputs you'd like bound to the back button, and then
02:26 after that, hit the back button you want those inputs bound to.
02:29 You also have the option to disable the back buttons if you would prefer them to do nothing.
02:34 Staying on the topic of customization, the Neos offers control over your trigger's actuation
02:39 points, your vibration strength, allows you to turn off the thumbstick's dead zones, and
02:43 if you want some added speed, you can even set a button of your choosing as a turbo button
02:48 that will quickly spam when you hold it down.
02:50 If you take a look at the bottom of the Neos, you'll see there's a 3.5mm headphone jack.
02:55 This allows you to get audio while in wired mode on your Switch, so you can game without
02:59 bothering others.
03:00 We're launching the Neos with nine collectible designs, and they all pair with our True Collection
03:05 system, so if you're interested, you can scan your Neo into your collection, and in future
03:09 updates, even reprogram your back buttons from the app.

03:14 Thanks for watching, and welcome to the Cracked Family.
