Customer Ratings & Reviews

Man, this new controller is seriously next level! It feels so good in my hands, and the build quality is just top-notch. Playing games on it is a dream, everything feels so responsive and precise. I'm hitting shots I never thought possible before. Honestly, if you're into gaming, you need to check this thing out.

Software without armory crate is pretty good even tho it's web based. The compact and light weight feel vs the elite 2 is so good. I've been waiting for Microsoft to come out with an elite 3 and this scratching that itch. Only minor thing I wish it had was more grips texture on the front of the controller like the elite 2.

I'm very picky about paddles and polling rate. I was able to overclock this to 1,000 and it reflects that on the Xbox. The back paddles/buttons are perfect. They have a similar placement as the victrix BFG but I do not accidentally press them like I did with the BFG. Very clicky, software is easy to use. Can map buttons without software or PC(but to get the firmware update you need the PC) love the color rgb mode selections and the 2.4hz dongle option. I did a polling rate test and SOMEHOW it's showing the same speed on the wireless dongle as it showed wired(0.93ms average at 950hz) big win, worth the money. Also it's durable. I would have broken the shoulder buttons by now if they were breakable like the victrix gambit(broke 3 of those just being spastic)

I like this controller, it feels good in the hands but having to use your pc to adjust the settings could be a let down if your a xbox only player. Took me a few days to get used to the short triggers for FPS games but now i’m hitting shots I never hit before.

Absolutely worth the money. The new TMR sticks feel incredible and I don't have to worry about drift anymore. I have many Xbox controllers, including an Elite Series 2 (and DualSense for PS5), and this is the best controller I've used yet. If you're on the fence, give it a try. I love mine.

I love this controller it works amazingly well and I'm surprised it's one of my favorite controllers

Lightweight nice grip connected to my xbox ally x best thing in it its lightweight but I don’t like the buttons

I love it!! My first pro controller. I love how it sinc the rgb lights wit my Xbox ally x, and the bulwark dock!!

The controller works perfectly in every single game and that rgb design its crazy 10/10

Excellent purchase, there's no drift in the joysticks!

Best controller ever for xbox ally x its just amazing

It's a very solid product. All the buttons feel great and it has a really good pulling rate and feature set and is a better deal feature for feature than the scuff valor Pro or the elite series 2. For my hands the way I hold Pro controllers, it's a little uncomfortable but I think the vast majority of people will be happy with it

What I like: 1. TMR sticks mean I won't experience stick drift over time. 2. Vibrant LED lights are nice What I don't like: 1. Price - For what this controller offers they're better options. This controller has no tension adjustment on the sticks, no vibration motors on the triggers, feels cheap, and requires the USB dongle it comes with in order to function right. It will not natively connect to xbox accessories like the xbox console or the xbox wireless dongle. 2. ABXY buttons are clicky like clicking a mouse and have no travel. If you so much as brush against the buttons they trigger. 3. ABXY buttons are unreadable. The black button with the dark gray letter color make the letters unreadable on the controller. 4. The d-pad, back/rear buttons and the R1, L1 buttons are also clicky like mouse clicks. I didn't find this to be a problem but I don't like it. Travel was good on these buttons. 5. The case and charging dock are unnecessary. If you put the cable it comes with in the case, it just barely fits. When closing the case you will press down on the analog stick which could damage it in the future. The charging dock is not magnetic so you need to align the controller just right so it sits in there.

I absolutely love this controller. Use it wired in so haven’t messed with much of the functions yet. But I bought it to upgrade from my elite series 2 I’ve been using for pc. Needless to say I’m EXTREMELY happy with it.

I bought this controller as a replacement for my Xbox Elite 2 controller. So far, it has met all my expectations and feels like it will last longer than the Xbox Elite 2, which gave me nothing but problems. The build quality is very nice despite being lighter than other controllers. The clicky face buttons and d-pad feel great and are very responsive. I also appreciate all of the connectivity options, which make it easy to jump between my PC and my Ally X. There was a joystick deadzone issue at launch, and while this should not have been a launch issue, it has since been fixed in a recent firmware update. If you buy it, be sure to update the firmware asap as this issue was very annoying. Additionally, many people online keep saying that only the face buttons can be assigned to the back paddles. While options are currently limited on the Asus Gear Link webpage, this is incorrect. The back buttons can be reassigned on the fly by holding the command center and library buttons until the logo flashes purple. Once it is flashing, click a back paddle to assign, and then the button you want to assign to it. The logo will turn green, and the back paddle will be reassigned. I have tested this with the d-pad inputs, face buttons, L3/R3, and it works without issue. Overall, I am happy with the Raikiri II. It is expensive, but it's very comfortable, has great back paddle placement, excellent connectivity options, and the build quality feels solid.

Controller itself feels really amazing to hold and use, but it is severly held back by lackluster software. Out of the box on OG firmware it is a very bad experience, make sure to upgrade to latest firmware on the dongle and on the controller itself. I am using this on a PC via the wireless dongle and Bluetooth to my AllyX and both work flawless now. Original experience was constant disconnects with the dongle when plugged directly into either device, utilizing the "dock" for the dongle makes it stable for some reason so I hope this helps someone if they run into the same issue. Overall, once the software matures this is definitely a recommend if you are looking at "elite-style" controllers.

I adore this controller, I've used the xbox elite, razer wolverine v3 pro wireless, 8bitdos, and the scuff envision pro. This is my favorite of the bunch due to how nice this controller feels in the hand. I rather enjoy the rgb on the controller itself and it changes color based on charging status docked. The Bluetooth, 2.4ghz dongle and wired mode are welcome and lowkey my favorite feature. None of these other controllers in the pro category seem to offer bluetooth and the 2.4ghz dongle that i tried and listed. This makes compatability great! I use it on my legion go s with steam os, and my windows 11 pc. The actual downside here is i expected more customization with the macros and buttons theres very little so far. It could be an update but i would go in expecting just a nice xbox controller with a soild feel.

MAKE SURE TO UPDTE AFTER PURCHASE. After watching PLENTY of online reviews I decided to get this controller. I really like the micro-switches that the turtle beach stealth ultra uses but that controller seems to be filled with nothing but problems. The controller is super comfortable in the hands and the TMR sticks feel great. My only complaint so far is that the stick deadzone is set pretty high by default and you have to use a web based software to tune the remote. Very basic review but so far I really like the controller. Better than any other xbox controller I've tried so far.

Good response time and high quality materials. They had some updates to make the connection and stick drift better so it’s almost perfect now but Asus plans to keep updating the software to keep improving even more on the controller. Highly recommend if you have a pc to update the controller with. Not so much for xbox yet until they make a standalone for customization you can do using the console.

This controller has all the features needed to be a pro controller. I really like everything about it except it does feel kinda light and maybe a little cheap. And then I also wish it was a little bigger so I could have a better grip, the price is also a little steep, especially when there are controllers like the g7 pro for 100$ less expensive. But so far everything works and I love the face buttons and the TMR sticks.
