But what sets the Raikiri apart from the standard Xbox controller are the comprehensive customisation options. The Armoury Crate app lets you adjust just about everything, such as the response curve and the joystick sensitivity. The amount of customisation is probably overkill for the average user.

Gold Award

In the end, we're completely satisfied with this controller: it's stylish and efficient.

Approved

With the Raikiri, we have a gamepad comparable to an Xbox Elite Serie 2, [...] it is equipped with RGB backlighting, has a more 'Gaming' design and comes with software to configure it.

ASUS is no stranger to the gaming controller market. Before the Raikiri series, ASUS released the Asus TV500BG back in 2016; they has also released several controllers designed for the ROG phone. One can say that Asus is perhaps the only multi-principal electronic brand with significant expertise other than console manufacturers themselves.
