ASUS has officially released the ROG Raikiri II Xbox Wireless Controller, expanding its Republic of Gamers lineup with a new option for console and PC players. The controller is now listed on the company’s official website and comes equipped with multiple connectivity modes, precision joysticks, and long-lasting wireless performance.
Connectivity and Design
The ROG Raikiri II offers three different modes of connection: wired USB-C, wireless 2.4GHz, and Bluetooth. Weighing 345 grams with the included cable, the controller is designed for both flexibility and durability. Its appearance is highlighted by the signature ROG “Eye of the Prodigal” logo in the center, along with a chamfered triangle-shaped Xbox button near the top.
Precision Controls
For improved accuracy and reliability, ASUS has integrated low-power, anti-drift TMR joysticks into the Raikiri II. The trigger buttons are built with dual functionality, allowing players to switch between a short-stroke mechanical micro-switch and a full-stroke TMR sensor mode. On the rear side, four fully programmable buttons give players the ability to customize input settings, making the controller adaptable for different gaming styles.
Performance Features
The controller incorporates ASUS’s ROG SpeedNova wireless technology, which supports a 1000Hz polling rate in both wired USB-C and wireless 2.4GHz modes when connected to a PC. This ensures fast response times and stable performance during gameplay. In terms of power, the Raikiri II delivers up to 30 hours of battery life over 2.4GHz wireless with RGB lighting enabled, as long as vibration and audio features are turned off.
Expanding the ROG Ecosystem
The ROG Raikiri II Xbox Wireless Controller represents ASUS’s latest addition to its growing range of gaming peripherals. With its multi-mode connectivity, customizable controls, and efficient wireless technology, the controller is positioned to provide a reliable option for both console and PC gaming.
ASUS continues to expand its ROG accessory line, aiming to meet the needs of gamers looking for performance-driven hardware with flexible features. The Raikiri II builds on the company’s approach of blending design, precision, and endurance in its gaming products.
