Asus ROG Raikiri II (90GC0230-BGP000)

A gamepad from the Republic of Gamers lineup, certified for Xbox and released in 2026 as the successor to the Raikiri Pro model. While the predecessor was noted for its built-in OLED screen and DAC, this version shifts the focus towards response speed and mechanical durability. Instead of the usual Hall effect sensors in the sticks and triggers, TMR sensors are used — a contactless technology that, like Hall sensors, is not susceptible to mechanical wear and prevents drift, but according to Asus, it provides higher positioning accuracy.

The triggers operate in two modes: a full analog range with TMR sensor for racing and a short throw with a microswitch for shooters, where instant click is crucial. Microswitches are also installed in the ABXY buttons, D-pad, bumpers, and four rear programmable keys — totaling 18 buttons. The Asus ROG Raikiri II gamepad connects in three ways: via USB-C, through a 2.4 GHz dongle with proprietary SpeedNova technology, and via Bluetooth 5.0.

When connected via cable to a PC, the latency is approximately 2.3 ms at a polling rate of 1000 Hz, according to the manufacturer. The battery life is up to 50 hours with the lighting and vibration turned off. The package includes a charging station, a carrying case, and interchangeable thumbstick caps. Configuration is done through a web application, Gear Link, which does not require installation.
