ASUS Republic of Gamers has unveiled a new solution for gamers – the ROG Raikiri II Pro PC wireless controller. The new product offers long battery life and extensive customization options, including interchangeable stick modules.
The ROG Raikiri II Pro PC controller supports an 8,000 Hz polling rate and 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity. ROG SpeedNova technology ensures fast response times and ultra-low latency. All buttons – including the D-pad, ABXY, back buttons, and bumpers – are equipped with micro-switches that activate instantly and provide a crisp tactile response. In addition, the Dual Mode Triggers feature allows you to quickly switch between short-travel triggers based on microswitches and full-travel triggers based on TMR sensors. This helps you adapt your controls to different game genres.

Interchangeable TMR sticks provide protection against drift and ensure stable, predictable control. The ROG Raikiri II Pro PC kit includes two sets of joystick modules – a standard set with a 120 gf actuation force and an additional set with a 50 gf actuation force. They easily adapt to different playstyles thanks to four removable rear buttons and two additional grip bumpers. All of these elements are customizable, providing quick access to in-game commands.

The built-in full-color display allows you to quickly change settings – including button assignments, vibration intensity, joystick calibration, lighting effects, and brightness – even while gaming. In addition, users can switch between five separate profiles.
Additional customization options are provided by the proprietary ASUS Gear Link software. It allows you to configure button assignments and joystick sensitivity, and also supports Turbo Mode, which automatically repeats button presses as long as the button is held down. This increases command input speed and reduces strain on the fingers. According to ASUS, Turbo Mode is particularly useful in RPGs, FPS games, and fighting games.
