Total Control
in Your Hands

The ROG Raikiri PC controller puts all the commands you need in the palm of your hand. It features innovative rear buttons that can be programmed and used as hotkeys or to toggle joystick sensitivity. The left and right triggers offer short and full range of movement, with dead zones easily adjusted via Armoury Crate software. Offering full customization options, including joystick sensitivity and response curve, the Raikiri is perfect for gaming on PC, laptop or the next gen Xbox console. And if you’re on a gaming headset, the built-in ESS DAC treats you to supreme in-game audio.

Intuitive Rear Controls

Gain the upper hand with ergonomic left and right buttons that are easier to reach and provide a satisfyingly tactile feel with each click. In addition, the buttons can also be programmed for in-game hotkeys or tweak joystick sensitivity on the fly.

Selectable Step Triggers

The left and right triggers offer a full range of motion and include a short trigger lock mode. Trigger dead zones can be customized via Armoury Crate to suit user preference.

Premium Audio

Plug a headset into the 3.5 mm jack for premium, true-to-life audio, powered by the built-in ESS DAC.

Extremely Customizable

Use Armoury Crate to map buttons, adjust RGB Aura lighting, vibration strength, trigger dead zone, and joystick response curves. It’s easy to tailor controls for any game.

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.

ASUS ROG Raikiriをレビュー！背面ボタンや内蔵DACなど多機能すぎるゲームパッド

The ROG Raikiri is a very aesthetically pleasing pad, to be used exclusively with a cable, and has been specially designed for gaming. The integrated ESS DAC is great for improving the perceived sound during gaming and the grip is excellent, ensuring a stable grip. The possibility of customising the pad is very good. The price is affordable.

ASUS ROG Raikiri is a flexible gamepad for X-box and PC. It has a solid body, precise triggers, backlight and convenient software setting.

Overall, the gamepad is cool, the only issue is the price, as always for ROG. Although you save on the sound card, which is pretty decent here, so the sound will be a nice bonus.

So for PC gamers who play with a gamepad, console players with X-Box and just fans of ROG products - the gamepad is still worth considering before purchasing.

The basic versions of the original controllers today are around €70-€80 on average, and this is really a small extra charge compared to how many additional features and tuning ROG Raikiri brings you!

With these two ROG Raikiri controllers, ASUS is offering two exceptional controllers. The classic version will be more than enough for the average gamer looking for something a little more sophisticated than the basic Xbox Series controllers, while the PRO version will appeal to the more demanding gamers, thanks in particular to its four programmable buttons and on-the-fly profile management.

... the ROG Raikiri is definitely the controller of choice for gamers who want maximum gaming performance.
