99.9% uptime sounds reliable, until you realise it means 8+ hours of downtime a year. For an iGaming operator, it is a business threat. One hour offline during a major promo can erase months of planning, budget, and player trust. Multiply that by eight.

Mau5horde rejoice! Pre-Orders Begin for deadmau5-themed Licensed Special Edition NEO S™ Controller for Fortnite Festival, Complete with Five Fret Festival Attachment

CRKD™, the premium collectible gaming brand behind the award-winning Nitro Deck™ and NEO S™ collectible controllers, announced today the NEO S 5-Fret deadmau5 Fortnite Festival Edition, a licensed, special edition NEO S controller, designed for use with Fortnite Festival and other rhythm-based games.

Electronic music producer deadmau5 has made guest appearances in video games before, and from August 5, deadmau5 and his legendary mau5head will be appearing in Fortnite. To celebrate this exclusive engagement, controller connoisseurs CRKD have created a special deadmau5 version of the 5 Fret NEO S controller.

The NEO S 5-Fret deadmau5 Fortnite Festival Edition is compatible with both PC and Nintendo® Switch™, and is a limited edition drop inspired by the instantly recognizable mouse head worn by deadmau5 at his concerts – known as the mau5head. When these controllers disappear off the shelves, they’re gone, so the mau5horde had better be quick off the mark if they want this EDM-tastic peripheral in their lives!

This version of the much-celebrated five-fret edition of CRKD’s iconic NEO S controller is the fourth NEO S in CRKD’s Fortnite Festival range, allowing gamers to connect more deeply with the artists that they admire, making their Fortnite Festival experience more immersive and personal to them. The unique Festival Attachment that’s included replicates the frets found on a real guitar, but as this deadmau5 collaboration highlights, this controller isn’t just limited to guitars. Fortnite Festival fans can use the controller to play Keytar, Drum, Mic and Bass song parts – perfect for strumming away at deep bass beats.

Designed and engineered by team members behind the much-loved hardware for Guitar Hero™ and DJ Hero™, the NEO S will also work with other rhythm-based community games, opening up a whole world of possibilities for music lovers.

Available for pre-order today, the NEO S 5-Fret deadmau5 Fortnite Festival Edition is expected to ship in October 2025, so begin preparing your gaming area now for its grand arrival!

The NEO S 5-FRET dEADMAU5 FORTNITE FESTIVAL EDITION is available for pre-order today at go.crkd.gg/fnfestival and go.crkd.gg/nsdm5.

Shipping is expected to start in October, for a suggested retail price of $59.99 / €69.99 / £59.99.

This collaboration was facilitated by Fortnite’s licensing agency IMG Licensing.
