Learn how to install and swap the four D-Pad styles from the DPAD CRKD Edition 4 Pack on your Nitro Deck 2. Get step-by-step instructions and common mistakes to avoid.

Quick answer

The DPAD CRKD Edition 4 Pack lets you swap between four distinct D-Pad styles on your Nitro Deck 2 in seconds. Below you'll find a clear setup process with common pitfalls to avoid.

Why choose the DPAD CRKD Edition 4 Pack?

If you play different game genres on your Nitro Deck 2, one D-Pad style may not suit every title. The 4 Pack gives you four distinct shapes so you can match the feel to your game—whether you need precise directional inputs for fighting games or a more relaxed, rounded pad for RPGs.

Each D-Pad features CRKD's signature Metallic Colored Shine, giving your controller a premium, eye-catching finish. The swap takes only seconds, so you can change it mid-session without tools.

How to set up and swap your DPAD CRKD Edition 4 Pack

  1. 1. Remove the current D-Pad: Gently pull the existing D-Pad straight up from the Nitro Deck 2. It is held by magnets, so no prying or twisting is needed. If it feels stuck, check that no debris is caught underneath. Common mistake: twisting the D-Pad can damage the magnetic mount. Always pull straight up.
  2. 2. Choose your new D-Pad style: Pick one of the four included styles based on your game. For example, a cross-shaped pad offers precise directional inputs for fighting games, while a round pad provides a smoother feel for RPGs. Checkpoint: test each style briefly before committing to a long session.
  3. 3. Align and snap the new D-Pad into place: Position the chosen D-Pad over the magnetic mount on the Nitro Deck 2. Lower it gently until it clicks into place. Ensure it sits flush and does not wobble. Common mistake: forcing the D-Pad at an angle can misalign the magnets. Let the magnets pull it into position naturally.
  4. 4. Test the D-Pad response: Press each direction (up, down, left, right) to confirm the D-Pad registers inputs correctly. If a direction feels mushy or unresponsive, remove and re-seat the pad. Checkpoint: if one direction consistently fails, the pad may not be fully seated—reinstall it.
