ASUS - ROG Raikiri II Pro PC Wireless Controller with Hot-Swappable TMR Joysticks - Black

Pros: 4 Back Paddles 2 Extra Shoulder Buttons OLED Remap / Customization Hot-Swappable TMR Modules Good Ergo Cons: Horrible Jitter; basically, the 8K Polling, High Stick Response Time, and High Res Sticks aren't doing much. Bottom Paddle Longevity (mushy / broken after 72 hours of use, likely secondary to their optional nature like the Elite) Weak Frontplate Magnet (pulls off with my hand) Only 1x Tall and 1x Dome (no symmetry possible on $200+ device) I actually really like the controller, but I will only continue to use it if the 2nd one I receive is any better. Controller feels better than the Wolverine out of the box somewhat, but its durability is laughably worse atm.

I received the controller the other week. It so far has overall worked well, however one of the rear buttons is loose and seizes frequently. It's a shame myself and so many others are experiencing these issues for how much we paid.

Cheap front plate, cheap magnets, interchangeable joysticks that nobody asked or wanted because regular tension joystick is good but the other is just a feature that I don’t even want to think about it… unique thing that is good that you can cover back buttons and becomes a useless feature… if the price were between $100-$120 but without a face plate and interchangeable joysticks will be perfect but now ASUS will waste more money because everyone is returning it, is not worth $220…

This controller has everything that would make it a 5 star aside form rubberized grips. Without the rubberized grips your hands slip during sweaty sessions and the cause the faceplate to lift. Back paddle also started sticking within just a few days of use. Also can't recalibrate the right trigger; at 100% displacement on the calibration it keeps loading. Absolutely love this controller and its feature, but at this price point they need to have quality control on lock.

This controller has a lot of potential. I really liked the design, the software, the responsiveness, and all of the customization options. Performance-wise, it feels excellent and could easily become one of the best controllers on the market. The main problem is the physical build quality. The front faceplate is held in place by only four magnets, and they do not hold it securely enough. After several hours of gaming, the faceplate can start moving, stick to your hand, and even come off by itself. The biggest issue in my case was the rear buttons. Two out of the four rear buttons started failing after only about two hours of gameplay. They became completely stuck and stopped clicking altogether. They literally became unusable. For a controller at this price point, I expected much better durability and build quality. What makes this even more disappointing is that I waited months to finally get this controller. I was really looking forward to using it, but I only got to enjoy it for a couple of hours before these problems started and it was no longer usable as intended. I really enjoyed using the controller, which is why these problems are so disappointing. I hope ASUS improves the rear buttons and the magnetic faceplate system in future revisions, because the software, performance, and overall concept of the controller are excellent. With better physical construction, this could easily be one of the best controllers on the market.
