Gamers, get ready to elevate your play with the newly launched ROG Raikiri II Xbox Wireless Controller from Asus. First revealed at Gamescom in August, this cutting-edge controller is now available for purchase at Best Buy, sporting a price tag of $189.99. Designed for versatility, it seamlessly connects with Xbox Series X/S consoles and Windows PCs, including the ROG Ally and Ally X, offering a high-performance experience across devices.
Innovative Design and Features
The ROG Raikiri II is Asus’s response to top-tier gaming controllers, rivaling even Microsoft’s Elite II. Cloaked in sleek black, it is accentuated by an RGB strip encircling the grips, and boasts tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) joysticks, known for their drift-resistant nature. The controller goes a step further by incorporating TMR technology into its triggers and utilizing micro switches throughout, enhancing responsiveness and durability across all buttons.
Precision Gaming Experience
For competitive gamers, the ROG Raikiri II promises a stellar performance with a polling rate of 1000Hz, ensuring precision and responsiveness in fast-paced shooter games. Asus guarantees low latency in both wired (USB-C) and 2.4GHz wireless modes, with Bluetooth connectivity available for casual gaming sessions. The controller’s multi-mode connectivity allows for “seamless switching” between Xbox, PC, and ROG Ally devices, ensuring uninterrupted gameplay.
Additional Perks and Accessories
The ROG Raikiri II is built for endurance, delivering up to 50 hours of battery life on a single charge. It comes packaged with a charging hard case, a charging stand, a 2.4GHz wireless dongle, and swappable joystick caps, providing everything needed for both storage and enhanced gaming performance.
