Nyko launched the 'Nyko Airglow,' a clear-frame controller for the Nintendo Switch with a unique feature. The controller is inspired by retro GameCube controllers that feature an intake fan on the rear side and exhaust fans on the handles of the device. This results in aircooled hands, reducing sweat under long or stressful play sessions.
The Nyko Airglow has a modernized, Nintendo Switch Pro Controller-inspired design with the same pattern of intake and exhaust fans. However, the controller also features RGB backlights and a number of additional buttons for unique features. These buttons control the fan intensity, lighting color, brightness, and game profile.
The Nyko Airglow is available now from Nyko, as well as third-party retailers such as Amazon, at an MSRP of $49.95 CAD, or roughly $35 USD.
