CRKD Rocks the Rhythm Scene with NEO S Bruno Mars 5 Fret Edition for Fortnite Festival
Premium collectible gaming brand CRKD™ has dropped its latest rhythm-game-ready controller: the NEO S Bruno Mars 5 Fret Edition. Officially licensed and featuring stunning artwork inspired by the 16-time GRAMMY winner, this limited-edition controller is compatible with Fortnite Festival and other rhythm-based titles—and is available for pre-order starting today.
Set to ship in September 2025, this music-infused release follows CRKD’s growing “Festival” range, building on the hype of the NEO S Linkin Park 5 Fret Edition and the highly anticipated CRKD Gibson® Les Paul™ Guitar Controller.
A Game-Changer for Fortnite Festival Players
The NEO S Bruno Mars 5 Fret Edition is more than just a stylish tribute to the global superstar—it’s a purpose-built gaming device engineered for maximum immersion in rhythm games. Designed to complement Bruno Mars’ arrival in Fortnite Festival, the controller features:
- 🎸 Festival Attachment: Five ergonomic fret-style buttons mimicking a real guitar, perfect for jamming through guitar, keytar, bass, drum, and mic parts in Fortnite Festival.
- 🎮 Broad Compatibility: Play on Nintendo Switch™, PC, Smart TVs, Mobile, and Tablets thanks to robust Bluetooth® connectivity.
- ✨ Premium Artwork: Visually aligned with Bruno Mars’ in-game persona and exclusive to this controller edition.
- 🔧 Customizable Features: Remappable back buttons, adjustable vibration, Hall-effect thumbsticks (say goodbye to stick drift!), swappable stick tops, and motion controls.
- 📱 True Collection System: Link your hardware to CRKD’s free iOS™ and Android® app to register rarity, customize features, and track your collectible status in real time.
Whether you’re battling through Fortnite Festival tracks or switching over to competitive shooters, the NEO S offers the flexibility of a compact, high-performance controller with personality and performance baked in.
Built for Gamers, by Rhythm Game Veterans
The Festival Attachment was designed by the team behind Guitar Hero™ and DJ Hero™, bringing authentic muscle memory and tactile feedback to today’s digital jam sessions. The attachment easily snaps on or off, converting the NEO S from a rhythm game powerhouse to a full-function controller for standard games.
