CRKD’s Gibson Les Paul Guitar Controllers Are Available Now

In: Gaming, News

Following multiple delays, CRKD’s officially licensed Gibson Les Paul Guitar Controllers are available now. Well, not all of them. The Pro and Encore versions of the multiplatform model launched today, August 8, but Amazon doesn’t have an estimated delivery date listed. The $125 Blueberry Burst Pro model is “temporarily out of stock,” so you may want to order one before Amazon stops taking orders. The Tribal Black Encore edition is in stock for $115, though it also doesn’t have an estimated delivery date.

The multiplatform versions are compatible with PC, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, Android, and PS3 in wireless and wired modes. The Pro and Encore editions of the multiplatform controller also sport a unique feature that allows players to use the guitar for Fortnite Festival with a wired connection on PlayStation and Xbox consoles.

Officially licensed versions of the Pro and Encore editions for Xbox are currently slated to release August 29 and cost 10 bucks more than the multiplatform edition. Preorders for CRKD’s guitar controllers initially opened in February. If you reserved one early, you may have gotten lucky with the price. Each model has increased by five bucks in the months since–likely due to tariffs.

Take a closer look at all four CRKD Gibson Les Paul Guitar Controllers below.

The Les Paul is CRKD’s first traditional guitar controller, but it’s technically not the brand’s first guitar controller. CRKD partnered with Epic Games late last year to release the Fortnite Festival Edition of the Neo S Wireless Controller for Switch consoles and PC. The Neo S is compact conventional controller with a detachable five-fret module. Reminiscent of the attachment for Guitar Hero games on Nintendo DS, the placement of the buttons provides a more natural feel compared to standard face buttons. The Neo S Fortnite Festival Edition costs $56 (was $60) and is compatible with Nintendo Switch, PC, and Mobile. If you’re not a fan of the wavy purple color scheme, there’s a Black Tribal Edition of the Neo S with the fret attachment.

CRKD’s Gibson Les Paul is the second officially licensed guitar controller to release for modern platforms. Last spring, PDP released Riffmaster Wireless Guitar Controller in PlayStation and Xbox models for $130 each. Earlier this year, PDP increased the price of the Riffmaster to $150, but Amazon has the PlayStation and Xbox editions of the PDP Riffmaster discounted to $120 right now. If you want to play Fortnite Festival with a wireless guitar controller, you’ll want to go with the Riffmaster. For Switch and Switch 2 players, the multiplatform CRKD controller is the choice by default, because neither Riffmaster model works on Nintendo consoles.
