Precise and Responsive Control
The Raikiri II Xbox Wireless offers refresh rates up to 1000Hz in wired or 2.4 GHz RF mode for PC gaming. The 2.4 GHz mode is further enhanced by ROG SpeedNova Wireless technology, delivering low latency performance on par with or exceeding most high-end Xbox controllers currently available.
Compared to Hall effect joysticks, the Raikiri II Xbox Wireless’s TMR joysticks deliver superior precision control and accuracy, incredible energy efficiency, and exceptional non-slip performance. Additionally, dual-mode triggers allow players to seamlessly switch between short-throw micro-switch triggers and full-range TMR sensor triggers, providing optimal control for different game genres.
The Raikiri II Xbox Wireless is one of the few controllers to feature TMR sensor triggers, delivering the same precision as Hall effect triggers with greater efficiency. The D-pad, ABXY buttons, rear buttons, and top trigger buttons utilize microswitches for instant triggering and haptic feedback.
The Raikiri II Xbox Wireless offers up to 50 hours of wireless gameplay on a single charge, surpassing most high-end controllers that only offer 20–30 hours.
The Raikiri II Xbox Wireless features 2.4 GHz RF, Bluetooth, and wired USB-C connectivity for compatibility with PCs and the ROG Xbox Ally handheld console. It is also certified for use with Xbox via USB-C and 2.4 GHz RF. This controller includes specially designed Library and Command Center shortcut keys for seamless integration with the Xbox Ally, enhancing customization options and ease of use in games.
The Raikiri II Xbox Wireless boasts an ergonomic design with four programmable rear buttons strategically placed for easy access. The grip surfaces are enhanced with a skin-friendly, non-slip coating for comfort and stability during gameplay. Other design features include a cross-shaped recessed D-pad and longer, more rounded top trigger buttons.
ASUS Gear Link is a web-based application that lets gamers customize profiles, reassign keys, and adjust controller vibration and lighting settings.
The Raikiri II Xbox Wireless comes with a portable protective case that charges the device when not in use. It also includes a charging stand and two removable joystick covers.
