ROG Raikiri Pro

Bronze

Everything else is the same as with the Raikiri base model and those parts are perfectly fine, except that this Pro shows me the only advantage in a slightly larger mass, because of the battery of course, and because of that it feels a little better in the hand.

Simply a controller that has no competition.

On a ici une manette très haut de gamme qui s'offre un rétroéclairage RGB, a un design plus typé "Gaming", un écran OLED permettant d'en surveiller le fonctionnement, qui peut se connecter à plusieurs appareils via Bluetooth, USB ou 2,4 GHz et s'accompagne d'un logiciel permettant de la configurer.

La Raikiri Pro [...] dispose de finitions exemplaires et la précision de ses contrôles est pour ainsi dire parfaite. La triple connectique n’est pas plus sujette aux critiques et avoir ménagé un petit espace pour le dongle RF 2,4 GHz est toujours une bonne idée. [...] une des meilleures manettes sur le marché : rares sont les pads aussi confortables, même sur de (très) longues sessions. Le grip est impeccable et les commandes tombent parfaitement sous nos doigts.

4 stars out of 5

La ROG Raikiri Pro est une bonne manette qui vise essentiellement les fans de design gamer. En effet, ses multiples effets lumineux et son petit écran s'harmoniseront parfaitement avec la ROG Ally (par exemple) ou avec un PC monté pour le jeu, d'autant plus si celui-ci accueille lui aussi sigles divers et variés, parois transparentes et autres fonctionnalités RGB. On apprécie également les options de paramétrages offertes par Armoury Crate...

La ROG Raikiri Pro est une manette pour les joueurs qui veulent vraiment se faire plaisir. Si vous êtes un féru de jeu compétitif que ce soit sur Xbox Series ou même PC, la Raikiri Pro vous permet de profiter d’une manette robuste au style futuriste avec des ajouts parfaits pour les compétiteurs.

Avec ces deux manettes ROG Raikiri, ASUS offre deux manettes de haute volée. La version classique suffira très largement aux joueurs moyens cherchant quelque chose d'un peu plus pointu que les manettes Xbox Series basiques, tandis que la version PRO elle, parlera davantage aux joueurs plus exigeants, notamment grâce à ses quatre boutons mappables et sa gestion de profil à la volée.

Gamezoom purchase recommendation

The controller is very comfortable to hold and the programmable special buttons invite you to experiment. The hybrid control pad, buttons, bumpers and triggers impress with their pleasant pressure points and low volume.

Starting off our ROG Raikiri Pro review with the unboxing, the packaging has your standard ROG peripheral design, clad in the gaming giant’s signature color theme but the some green at the bottom since it’s designed for Xbox. You can see its features listed around the box, along with some awards that it garnered listed on the front. Inside, we found the following items:

3.5/5

The ROG Raikiri Pro is a pretty product backed with decent quality and usable features. However, it comes at a price that may cause most to twist necks. The gimmicks are not implemented too well and are not unique enough to justify the price tag.

7.9/10

The ROG Raikiri Pro sets new standards. From its comfortable design to immersive features, it gives a balance of form and function. While there are a few features that I wanted to have on the Raikiri Pro like hall sensors, better macro button functionality and more user-friendly Armoury Crate, I still believe that its price is justifiable… especially if you’re a huge ROG fan.

2024 Taiwan Excellence Award

ROG Raikiri Pro won the 2024 Taiwan Excellence Award, a world-renowed design award.

Best Performance

The added wireless convenience of the ROG Raikiri is that it is very flexible to play without any wires to interfere and is very lightweight. The build quality is also good. And the highlight of this joypad is that it can adjust the distance of the top button, which is usually the accelerator button in racing games.

ROG Raikiri Pro review

The ROG Raikiri Pro is a fascia controller. The OLED display makes it easy to select profiles and manage functionality, while the rear buttons allow for maximum customisation of the control mapping. The controller is responsive, precise and comfortable, as well as very nice to look at. Too bad about the wired connection requirement on Xbox consoles and the impossibility of accessing customisations except through a PC.
