Today, CRKD announced KEYJAM Mode for their Gibson Les Paul Guitar Controllers.

KEYJAM Mode (Mode 9) maps the controller as a gaming keyboard and mouse, offering compatibility with Fortnite® Festival on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation®4, and PlayStation®5. This new mode delivers a plug-and-play experience, allowing players to use the guitar controller with no additional setup or adapters.

Powered by CRKD’s Keyjam Mapping feature, the fret buttons, strum bar, and other inputs act as keyboard inputs, while the right thumbstick on the guitar functions as a mouse, providing effortless control over menu navigation. Whether selecting songs, navigating interfaces, or confirming settings, it adds ease and precision to the experience.

Each unit includes overlay stickers for the Navigation Hub and D-Pad to help identify key mappings. Players can further customize inputs via the free CRKD CTRL companion app, tailoring layouts to their preferred play style or in-game binding.

KEYJAM Mode works in wired, wireless (2.4GHz), and Bluetooth® configurations, delivering low-latency, ultra-responsive control, ideal for rhythm gaming precision.

Beyond KEYJAM Mode, the CRKD Gibson Les Paul® Multi-Platform Guitar Controller supports a wide range of devices—including PC, Nintendo® Switch™ consoles, mobile, tablet, and smart TVs—through its other integrated modes, offering true multi-format support across modern and legacy platforms. It also supports legacy games like Guitar Hero™ and Rock Band™ in P3 Mode.

The controller is also compatible in multiple modes with popular community PC rhythm games like YARG and Clone Hero, giving players even more flexibility across the titles they love.

Whether you’re diving into Fortnite Festival or rocking through community created games, KEYJAM Mode elevates the guitar controller experience to a new standard of versatility and performance.
