ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has announced the launch of the Raikiri Pro PC controller, the first Xbox-certified PC controller with an integrated OLED display and tri-mode connectivity.
The Raikiri Pro offers an exceptional gaming experience by providing players with full control and numerous customization options at their fingertips.
Key Features of the Raikiri Pro PC Controller:
- Built-in OLED Display: Customize animations, view status indicators, and switch profiles on the fly.
- Tri-mode Connectivity: Connect via Bluetooth®, 2.4GHz RF, or wired USB-C for ultimate flexibility.
- Intuitive Rear Panel Controls: Programmable left and right buttons for in-game commands and joystick sensitivity adjustments.
- Two-Way Trigger Locks: Set triggers to short or full range, with customizable dead zones in Armory Crate software.
The Raikiri Pro's built-in OLED display allows users to personalize their controller with custom images, animations, or text. It also provides essential information such as the current controller profile, charge and power levels, and microphone status. Two buttons above the OLED display enable quick switching between different profiles during gameplay.
With tri-mode connectivity, the ROG Raikiri Pro supports Bluetooth and 2.4GHz RF connections, as well as a wired USB-C option for compatibility with PCs, laptops, and the latest Xbox console. Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) technology ensures a low-latency Bluetooth connection for competitive gaming.
The controller's ergonomic design and textured, non-slip surface on the back provide a comfortable grip for gamers of all hand sizes. The microdotted and intersecting grooves on the rear buttons offer tactile feedback for precise control. These back buttons can be programmed as hotkeys for complex in-game commands or to adjust joystick sensitivity on the fly.
Extreme customization options are available through the Armory Crate software, allowing gamers to remap buttons, tune the OLED display, select controller profiles, and set low-battery alerts for wireless mode. Additionally, the vibration strength and joystick reaction curves can be adjusted.
The Raikiri Pro also features premium audio with a 3.5mm audio jack and a built-in ESS DAC for true-to-life gaming audio in wired mode. It supports a microphone mute function for convenience during gameplay.
Reflecting ROG's cyberpunk spirit, the Raikiri Pro's see-through design and floating ROG logo create a futuristic appearance. The controller recently received both the iF Design Award 2022 and the Reddot Design Award.
The ROG Raikiri Pro is currently available in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland at a recommended retail price of 169.90 EUR / CHF incl. VAT in various specialist shops, online stores, and the ASUS web shop (DE/AT & CH).
