ASUS ROG has introduced the ROG Raikiri II Pro PC, a premium Gaming Controller designed for competitive PC players who want faster response times and greater control customization. The new controller combines an 8,000Hz polling rate, ROG SpeedNova wireless technology, hot-swappable TMR joystick modules, and long battery life, making it a feature-rich option for gamers across multiple genres.
The ROG Raikiri II Pro PC is built to reduce input latency while giving users the flexibility to adjust the controller based on their preferred playstyle. ASUS has equipped the controller with micro switches on the D-pad, ABXY buttons, rear buttons, and bumpers to provide faster actuation and more tactile feedback compared to conventional button designs.
The Dual Mode Trigger system lets players switch between short-travel micro-switch triggers for fast, responsive inputs and full-travel TMR sensor triggers for smooth analog control. This flexibility makes the controller suitable for a wide range of games, including competitive shooters, racing titles, action games, and other genres that benefit from different trigger responses.
The controller also features hot-swappable Tunnel Magnetoresistance (TMR) joystick modules, which are designed to improve durability while helping reduce joystick drift over time. ASUS includes two sets of joystick modules, allowing users to choose between the standard 120gf actuation force or a lighter 50gf version depending on personal preference.
Customization extends beyond the joysticks. Four removable rear buttons, two additional claw bumpers, and fully remappable face buttons allow players to configure controls that match different grip styles and gaming needs. A built-in full-color display makes it easy to adjust controller settings without opening software, including button remapping, joystick calibration, vibration intensity, lighting effects, brightness, and switching between five onboard profiles.
For users seeking more advanced control options, the ASUS Gear Link software offers detailed button mapping, joystick sensitivity adjustments, and Turbo Mode. The Turbo feature enables rapid auto-repeat while a button is held, making repeated actions easier in supported games.
Battery life is another major focus for the ROG Raikiri II Pro PC. ASUS rates the controller for up to 79 hours of gameplay over its 2.4GHz wireless connection on a single charge, allowing users to enjoy extended gaming sessions with fewer interruptions.
ASUS also includes several accessories with the controller, providing additional value out of the box.
