Asus ROG Raikiri Pro

The flagship gamepad from Asus with a combined connection, programmable triggers and a built-in OLED screen, which is not quite usual for such devices. The multifunctional 1.3-inch display can perform a number of different functions, including switching profiles with control settings, displaying battery charge status information, muting the microphone, checking charge status, etc.

The screen can also be used for decorative functions by simply looping a GIF or static text on it. Another unusual feature of the gamepad is the built-in DAC (DAC), which provides better sound quality when using the controller with wired headsets. In general, we are talking about an advanced gamepad, created for the most scrupulous gamers and e-sportsmen who are willing to overpay for the ultimate quality of performance and unique functions.

ROG Raikiri Pro supports three connection modes: wired USB C, 2.4 GHz wireless via dongle and Bluetooth. Supported platforms include PC and Xbox; mobile devices are not officially supported, although no one forbids trying a direct connection or using an emulator. The layout of the buttons is identical to that of any Xbox gamepad, with the difference that several additional programmable paddle buttons are hidden on the back panel, the pressure on the top triggers can be adjusted in DualSense style, and all buttons can be reassigned if desired in the Asus Armory Crate software. There the user can adjust the backlight power and customize the glow effects.
