Get ready, Mau5horde! CRKD, the collectible gaming brand behind the Nitro Deck and NEO S, has announced the arrival of the NEO S 5-Fret deadmau5 Fortnite Festival Edition, a special controller designed to sync perfectly with Fortnite Festival and other rhythm-based titles. Available for pre-order now, this exclusive drop celebrates deadmau5’s recent appearance inside Fortnite.
A Festival-Ready Controller With deadmau5 Flair
Electronic music icon deadmau5—known for his chart-topping hits and legendary mau5head—joined Fortnite on August 5. To mark the occasion, CRKD has crafted a licensed limited-edition controller that merges gaming with festival vibes.
The NEO S 5-Fret deadmau5 Edition works on both Nintendo Switch™ and PC and features a unique Festival Attachment, letting players jam out across multiple instruments—Keytar, Drums, Mic, Bass, and Guitar—inside Fortnite Festival. The controller’s design takes inspiration from deadmau5’s iconic look, making it as much a collector’s piece as it is a gameplay essential.
A Legacy of Rhythm Gaming Innovation
CRKD’s NEO S controllers aren’t just visually stunning; they’re engineered by veterans who helped create beloved peripherals for Guitar Hero™ and DJ Hero™. The five-fret system mimics real guitar frets, but this edition broadens the scope to rhythm fans of all kinds. It also works with other rhythm-based community games, ensuring it won’t stay confined to Fortnite Festival alone.
Limited Edition – Don’t Miss Out
This deadmau5 collab marks the fourth NEO S controller in CRKD’s Fortnite Festival lineup, deepening the connection between artists and fans in the gaming space. Like a limited vinyl drop, once these controllers sell out, they’re gone for good.
