Fresh off the feeds, welcome to Tech After Dark. I'm Nova, here with Hopper, our screens and cameras expert, and C R K D just made a tiny new gamepad called the Atom Plus. Tiny! Okay. The Verge's Andrew Liszewski says the Atom Plus squeezes dual analog thumbsticks into a controller close to the size of 8BitDo's Zero 2. So, Hopper. Does it actually deliver? Mostly, he says. It's nearly exactly what he's been hunting for, but if you've got larger hands, its focus on portability might be a struggle.

And there's the catch. No price or release date in the post yet, so more as it comes in. My take? One to watch for travel, if your hands fit. The full Verge review is linked. See you next time.
