Customer Ratings & Reviews

ASUS has given gamers a pro controller that rivals the best controllers out there. Excellent triggers, sticks, low latency, and a great grip make this one of the best controllers I have ever used. On top of that, ASUS has given us a package that includes a case and charging stand. It is a bit of a shame that some of the software features can be a bit buggy to use. Key mapping is limited. I also experienced some charging issues with my controller that I was never able to fully resolve. If those qualms are addressed by software updates in the future, this would be my favorite controller. As is, it is still surprisingly good and easy enough to recommend. Experience: Let’s get the good stuff out there: the low latency and joy sticks on this controller make this one of the best PC controllers out there. The button presses for the face buttons (A, B, X, Y) have less travel distance than a traditional controller and instead function more like a mouse click. It works very well but took me a bit of time to get used to. The ability to store the controller’s wireless USB dongle in the controller itself is great. The connectivity options for the controller make it truly versatile. And I love that Asus provides a travel case and charging stand. I love the ability to change the travel distance for the left and right trigger. The grip feels great. Some of the additional buttons only benefit gamers who are hooking this controller up to ROG Ally X. For instance, there is an Armory Crate button and a library button on the top front of the controller’s face that are all but useless for XBOX and PC gamers. Even on PCs that have Armory Crate like my Asus desktop and laptop, the Armory Crate button does nothing. It does not bring up armory crate on the PC. It is worth noting that Armory Crate has been replaced with Asus Gear Link, a web-based utility for configuring the controller. In theory I like the idea of not having to download a full software suite or a bloated desktop application for the controller. But I found Gear Link to be extremely buggy and laggy. It often did not work as I expected with delays or features that simply did not. Elements of the website would just not react to mouse clicks or attempts to change a setting. I tried this on multiple PCs with the same experience. Once changes are made, the changes will be saved to the controller. As said above, you can customize programable buttons on the back and top of the controller. But you are limited to remapping existing buttons for instance, you can set the back buttons to be a single D-Pad, trigger, or face button press, but you cannot set up macros. Also, there is a capture button on the front of the controller same as any XBOX Series X controller, but the capture button only works on Windows if the controller is in the XBOX controller mode. I am unsure if you lose some of the PC connectivity features in XBOX mode, but I do not understand why the capture button fails to work in PC mode. Lighting works but is limited. You have light strips on the side of the controller and the ASUS logo which will also change to a pulsing light while charging. Another nitpick for me is that the D-Pad feels a bit less precise than I would like. For instance, in Helldivers 2, you must make precise button presses to call in stratagems with the D-Pad. I found myself making mistakes more often than I would with a standard XBOX controller. The D-Pad has a fast response, but it just felt less precise. Comfort: As mentioned above the face buttons took me a bit to get used to. Also, the ability to adjust the trigger distance and map buttons on the back of the controller is great, but, at least at first, I found myself rubbing my fingers a lot on the adjustment knobs on the back of the controller. I eventually got used to it, but first few gaming sessions were a bit rough on my middle fingers. Charging issues: As mentioned, the Raikiri 2 comes with a charging stand which you can keep in the travel case to charge the controller on the go, or you can plug the controller in directly to charge. I found the charging stand to be too slow to be ineffective. After hours of charging on the wireless pad, the controller’s battery charge barely moved. Plugging the controller in via USB-C did charge but was slow. At this moment, my controller is maxing out at 97 percent charge, and I have no idea why it will not go any higher. I tried different USB ports and chargers. One thing that did seem to improve charging times was to make sure the controller’s lighting was turned off. But then you lose the charging indicator via the logo. I guess what I learned was to make sure lighting on the controller is turned off before charging. Wireless charging, while nice in theory, can be extremely slow if it works at all. Conclusion: This is a mixed bag for me. I really like many aspects of this controller. I am hoping that my nitpicks can be addressed via software updates in the future. Because if they can be addressed (especially the weird charging issues) then this will be my favorite controller. As it is right now, it is a good one. 4/5 Recommended.

_____ *Pros: -Great build materials and build quality -Precise and accurate TMR joysticks -Satisfyingly clickity D-pad and face buttons -1,000Hz polling rate on PC via USB-C cable or 2.4GHz USB receiver -USB dongle compartment right on the gamepad -Easy to toggle between the full-travel and short-throw shoulder triggers for different types of games -Fast and easy pairing -Stable Bluetooth connection with low latency -Three ways to connect – USB receiver, Bluetooth, and cable -Very comfortable for long gaming sessions -Excellent battery life _____ *Neutral: -The Asus ROG Ally buttons are useless for PC gaming _____ *Cons: -Asus Gear Link and Armoury Crate often did not detect the gamepad (tried Bluetooth, USB-C cable, and USB dongle). -No on-the-fly mapping and profile switching – you have to use the Asus app on the PC to make changes. The Asus Raikiri II gamepad is an excellent gamepad if you’re going to use it primarily or entirely as a PC gamepad. The controller is relatively light despite its high-tech internals and components and long battery life, and it feels ergonomically very comfortable in-hand even during long gaming sessions. The RGB lighting is not in-your-face obnoxious, and if you can manage to get the Raikiri II recognized by the Armoury Crate app or the web browser-based Gear Link utility, then you can customize many aspects of the game pad, such as lighting, dead zone adjustments, responsive curves, and button remapping. Up to five different profiles can be customized and saved, but there is, unfortunately, no on-the-fly method of switching between the profiles – you have to connect to the PC Armoury Crate app and make the switch, which is very frustrating for gamers who plan to use the controller across different platforms and across different genres of games. As for me personally, the lack of an on-device, on-the-fly profile switching is not a huge deal since I’m mostly a non-pro PC gamer and I’m pretty content with the out-of-the box factory calibration and settings. But I presume pro or competitive gamers will mighty be frustrated by such an oversight made by Asus. Hopefully Asus will release a mobile app that can make profile switching easier or introduce the feature via a future firmware update. I tried using both the desktop Armoury Crate app and the web-based Gear Link app, and my experience with both was so-so. The Raikiri II did not get detected 100% reliably, even when using a seemingly sure-fire solution like the USB-C cable connection method. It fared the worst via Bluetooth, and I had the best success via the USB receiver. It was highly frustrating and shocking, really, that Asus is SO bad at this. I have high-end gamepads from Turtle Beach (Victrix Pro BFG) and SCUF (Envision Pro v2), and I never experienced such software issues – they just worked out of the box and detected the gamepad every time, all the time. Fortunately for me, the gamepad was ready-to-go out of the box and plug-and-play, and it was easily recognized by all the games and emulators I tried it with. When I’m playing games with the Raikiri II, that’s when the gamepad really shines. As mentioned earlier, the gamepad is relatively light and highly comfortable to grip and hold, and the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) joysticks plus the micro-switch inputs (ABXY buttons, D-pad, bumpers, and rear buttons) led to highly fun, accurate, and satisfactorily tactile experience. I love feeling and hearing the clickity sounds that the buttons make, and thanks to the responsiveness and low latency, my hands did not get sore as quickly compared to generic, low-cost gamepads that are available all over the place. As you can probably tell by now, I have a strongly mixed feeling about the Asus Raikiri II gamepad. On one hand, I love its excellent hardware – premium build materials and components and quality in-hand feel, high-tech, predictable, and anti-drift TMR joysticks, satisfyingly clickity buttons and triggers, long battery life, and excellent compatibility with games. But on the other hand, the experience is more than moderately ruined by the lackluster software (Armoury Crate and Gear Link) and poor planning by the design and engineering team that worked on the Raikiri II. Hopefully, Asus will do the RIGHT THING, and keep on improving and updating the Raikiri II instead of crossing it off as a loss and implementing the user-requested features into the Raikiri 3 or whatever thee next-gen gamepad they want to release next. Although the gamepad is nice, hardware-wise, and it’s fun to play games with, I cannot rate it higher than 3.5 Stars, because the Raikiri II feels like an incomplete product that Asus, hopefully, will not give up on. I honestly will not recommend this to my friends who play games across multiple platforms (Xbox, PC, ROG Ally) due to software issues. And it would be a “maybe recommend” if they are exclusively PC gamers. Asus is normally known for quality and reliable products, so I sincerely hope they do right and keep on refining and updating the Raikiri II. So in simple terms, do your proper research and know what type of gamer you are before you drop your hard-earned coin on the Raikiri II gamepad. It could be a good fit for you or it might not.

Fantastic controller. Fast response time, absolutely no stuck drift whatsoever. The RGB lights go perfect with my Asus Rog Strix Gaming laptop. Super lightweight and the battery last a very long time.

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.

📦 UNBOXING: Inside the box, you will find the Raikiri II controller with dongle nestled in a case, a charging dock you can use in the case; or with attachable feet use on your desk. You’ll also get a USB Type-A to Type-C cable, a secondary set of longer thumbsticks, some ROG stickers, and basic documentation. 💪 BUILD: The controller itself houses the small USB-A dongle on the rear of the controller, which is great for portability. But equally as cool is the fact that the charging dock has a USB-A input where you can plug in the dongle, then use the included USB Type-A to Type-C cable to plug the dock into your PC. This lets you use the dock for charging and for wireless 2.4GHz connectivity when in use. With the dongle and feet removed, the dock can also be used for charging the controller in the case since there’s a passthrough opening on the case to insert the USB Type-C end into the dock. ASUS opted to use TMR sensors for its thumb sticks. This should offer all the benefits of hall effect sensors (zero stick drift and high precision), but with a significantly lower power draw. The triggers also use TMR sensors for their full-travel mode, but because they have dual mode toggle switches for short hair-trigger response, they also use microswitches when in short-travel mode. This makes the triggers great for racing games in full-travel mode, and superb for first person shooters in short-travel mode. Meanwhile, the D-Pad, ABXY buttons, 2 bumpers and 4 rear buttons all feature micro-switches rated for 10 million presses. The A button feels mushier than the other switches. While it’s completely responsive in my games, it just doesn’t have the same tactile feedback as the other switches when playing. ASUS has also implemented the Command Center and Library buttons found on the ROG Xbox Ally. On the rear of the controller, you will find the 4 programmable rear buttons, hair trigger toggles, pairing button, connectivity toggle switch, and Xbox/PC mode toggle switch. Both of the toggle switches are a bit too close to my fingers when I am playing, and I worry that I will eventually toggle a switch during a game by accident. 🛠️ SETUP: If you’re not using the Raikiri II with an Xbox Ally, setup is fairly simple—simply set the toggles on the back to your preferred device and connectivity type, then hold the Xbox button to power it on. If using wired, it should automatically turn on. For Xbox consoles, switch the toggle to “Xbox”, while all other supported platforms should use “PC”. For Bluetooth connectivity, you’ll need to first power-on the controller then hold the Pair button on the rear of the controller until the ROG logo on the front of the controller starts flashing blue. At this point, you should be able to pair it from your device. This option could be a convenient option for use with the Xbox Ally or maybe even a TV with Steam Link, GeForce Now, or other cloud gaming options. I should also note that this controller did not work on any of my Apple devices, but it worked well on Android-based devices. The setup process for Xbox Ally was unintuitive, poorly documented, and a very manual process. You would think that the Armoury Crate app would detect the Raikiri II controller and allow you to install all the applicable software, but it did not. To use the Command Center and Library buttons on your Raikiri II, you need to download a “Gamepad Companion” from ASUS’ website. I had to use ASUS’ Gear Link web app via Edge browser on my Xbox Ally to download and extract a zip, then run a setup. All this is much more complicated to do on a Windows 11 device without a physical keyboard or mouse. I also found that the “Auto” profile set in Command Center caused the Raikiri II to not interface with the Gear Link web app until I changed it to “Gamepad” mode. Additionally, even after installing the Gamepad Companion, I found that “Profile 1” was completely unresponsive for the Command Center and Library buttons on the Raikiri II. However, switching to Profile 2 thru 5 worked as expected. 💿 SOFTWARE: The Gear Link web app only works on Windows devices—which means Xbox console gamers cannot configure their Raikiri II without a PC, and this includes updating the firmware. In Gear Link, you can re-map the 4 rear buttons (M1-M4) as well as the Command Center and Library buttons (M5-M6). And while there is a Macros tab, this feature does not apply to the Raikiri II. You can also configure lighting effects, power saving features, vibration, responsiveness of the thumb sticks and triggers, and even assign those response curves to the configurable M1-M6 buttons. This way, you could change the thumbstick sensitivity on-the-fly while you’re aiming down a sight in a first person shooter, have tighter control over drifting in a racing game, or even inch closer to the edge of a platform without worry of accidentally falling off. 🎮 REMAPPING & OTHER: Remapping directly from the Raikiri II is a painful process compared to the competition. To re-map M1-M6 buttons directly from the controller, hold the Command Center + Library buttons for 3 seconds to spawn the remapping protocol. The ROG logo will repeatedly blink white. Then, press the M button that you want to map, and subsequently press the button you want to map it to. It will blink green several times before exiting the mapping protocol. You can only map 1 button at a time during this protocol, which means it can take a long time to map all the buttons—especially if you’re in the middle of a competitive game where you can’t just pause. In this day and age, gamers need to be able to quickly trial mappings during gameplay instead of being expected to figure it all out before they begin a match. My favorite controller allows me to remap by holding a dedicated Profile button, immediately pressing the button I want to remap, then subsequently pressing the action that I want it remapped to—no waiting required. In the time it takes me to remap 1 button on the Raikiri II, I can remap multiple buttons on that other controller. Moreover, you cannot bind triggers to the M1-M6 buttons, which is a feature available on most other controllers. To add insult to injury, after changing my bindings from the controller, the Gear Link app doesn’t seem to detect those bindings at all, making for a really disjointed experience in the web app versus the physical hardware. Moreover, there does not appear to be a way to “unbind” a mapping, despite there being plenty of other controllers being able to do this. It should be as easy as initiating the mapping protocol, then pressing the same M button twice. There is no documented way to switch profiles except through a post on the /r/ASUSROG subreddit—but it does exist. Holding the Pair button on the rear of the controller then pressing Y will switch to the next profile. I wish instead they would allow you to assign each profile to a face button instead so you can jump to the exact profile you want, instead of having to cycle through each one. You may want to assign different lighting effects and colors to each profile so you can clearly identify which profile you’ve activated. Another issue I faced was that using it with my Xbox Ally X was not the 1-to-1 translation that I was hoping it would be. On any version of the Ally, the rear buttons can be held to create “secondary functions” for all the other buttons on the controller. This could mean that holding a rear button and pressing a button on the D-Pad can switch apps in Windows, open an on-screen keyboard or spawn the task manager. Given how poor the current navigation experience is on Windows for handheld PC’s, these secondary functions helped work around those limitations. Unfortunately, this “secondary function” concept does not translate to the Raikiri II at all—it cannot be done via Armoury Crate, and cannot be done via Gear Link. 🔋 BATTERY: ASUS claims that the Raikiri II can get up to 50 hours of playtime with RGB off, vibration off, and audio off. While I haven’t tested the extent of those claims, I can say that battery life is good, and its power saving features help it reach solid battery performance, even with all those features engaged. But the inclusion of the charging dock should mean that most gamers won’t really need to think about this, at all. 🧐 CONCLUSION: Overall, I am incredibly underwhelmed by the Raikiri II Xbox Wireless controller. It has a severe identity conflict. It “works” with an Xbox, but can’t be configured at all from an Xbox. It “works” on an Xbox Ally, but requires additional clunky setup to get the Command Center button and Library buttons working, and the secondary functions are completely missing. It doesn’t work on Apple devices at all, but does work on Android devices. Switching between onboard profiles from the controller itself appears to be basically undocumented despite being a feature added by a recent update. Re-mapping the M1-M6 buttons takes forever, and you can’t even map them to the triggers. I really wanted to like this controller, but ASUS fumbled to make a good experience for the price you will have to pay to own this controller. There are significantly better-designed user experiences on the market if you really value remappable buttons, and while the hardware itself has a lot of impressive specifications to make it a good product, I think it’s currently let down by its software experience. I think a primarily desktop PC gamer might find some of these issues to be less impactful on their experience, but if you’re an Xbox console gamer or you intended to use the Raikiri II with an Ally, I think that this controller will really disappoint you with its current feature set. I can only hope that ASUS will keep pushing software and firmware updates that bring this controller closer to the expectations set by PC Gamers, Xbox console gamers, and handheld Ally gamers. But right now, I think it would disappoint all of them.

The ASUS ROG Raikiri II Wireless Controller for ROG Xbox Ally, PC, Xbox Series X/S is a quite nice gaming controller. I have small hands and it feels like a perfect fit for me. It is a little rubberized at the back which gives it a secure, anti-slip feel while I am playing. It is lightweight and functions well. Connection is very easy because there are 3 options: bluetooth, wired (with included USB-C to USB-A cable) and you can connect via the included dongle. ASUS includes a small charging dock that can charge your controller and you can also place the dongle in it if you prefer, instead of another device. By the way, if you are unable to locate the dongle, it is stored in a small covered slot on the back of the controller. You are also able to conveniently charge your controller while it is in the really nice provided case via the little port at the back of the case. They also included 2 extra longer thumb sticks. The joysticks are TMR, anti-drift, which is a nice upgrade. They are very easy to remove and put on. The 1000Hz polling rate really helps with latency. I like the way I am able to change the travel on the triggers from full to short travel. I thought I wouldn't care for the short travel setting, but I am really getting to like it more than full. There are 4 programmable multi-function buttons on the back, but it looks like they are only able to be programmed with existing settings - no macros. For the time being, I am keeping those 4 buttons disabled because I do sometimes find myself hitting them in error when I am playing. ASUS does boast 30 hours of playtime using the 2.4GHz wireless. Overall, the ASUS ROG Raikiri II Wireless Controller for ROG Xbox Ally, PC, Xbox Series X/S is an exceptional controller. No, it hasn't made me a better game player, but I've only had it about a week now - just give me time! I would definitely recommend this controller to anyone looking for a new lightweight, outstanding controller with a great hand feel.

Works as described. Pretty decent battery life and turns on very fast. Charging dock would be better if it had a magnet to align the controller better but if using the case then it seats fine. Using it with dongle, since bluetooth doesnt seem to work correctly on pc, and doesnt pair to xbox like it says even with changing the sliders on bottom of controller. Possibly user error. But dongle makes everything work instantly so not a big deal.

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.

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.

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 love this controller. Its very light compared to my Xbox Elite 2 controller. I enjoy the "clicky" feeling of the buttons; about the same feeling as clicking a mouse. The response times while using it with my PC is very good. It has a dongle you can plug in or you have the wire option (which I prefer). All in all its a great controller.

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.

Very solid pc/xbox controller. Buttons are tactile similar to keyboard. Very fast response time. Only downside is can’t macro keybinds with back buttons.

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.

This controller is a JOY to use. It feels excellent in the hands. The precise "click" you get from all of the buttons is superb. I was a fan of the Gen 1 Raikiri Pro. I don't miss the LED screen (as it was a novelty). Note that the controller is a bit smaller than a traditional Xbox controller, but I think its size to be perfect. The previous Raikiri Pro did NOT work wirelessly with the Xbox, but this one does (dongle is needed). Many complain about Armory Crate Software that has to be installed for PC, but this one uses Asus' new Cloud Based controll software (no locally installed software required!) All in all top notch in ever way.

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.

I’ve used several pro controllers, including the Razer Wolverine V3 pro, Scuf Envision, and others, and I can confidently say that the ROG Raikiri II is the best I’ve ever used. It has a premium feel, and the TMR thumbsticks are great, a feature that many competitors lack at this time. The controller comes in a nicely designed case with a charging stand. I’ve been using it for PC gaming, and I’m impressed with its overall performance. If you’re in the market for a pro controller, look no further.

Wow. I dont usually ever use 3rd party controllers, but this one is incredible! TMR joysticks, micro switches on every button and the D-Pad! If you remember the Neo Geo controllers, you'll know what a microswitch is. The buttons are clicky and incredibly responsive. The D-Pad on this is better than any official Xbox controller has ever been. The ability to charge this controller in the case is a great idea as well! I dont know about the 1000 polling that is advertised, but this thing is really responsive. Amazing controller, and this is the best Xbox controller that I have ever used, and I have had every official Xbox controller since the OG Xbox.

This controller is nice. It feels a little cheap in the hand, but the buttons are sharp and clicky. I play on my Xbox most the time and have discovered that even though I set the dead zone to 0 in the web based app for the controller… there’s still a dead zone that makes this the worst controller to use in an FPS game. The price tag is also absurd for this controller. However, playing non-shooters with a nice with this controller. The RGB colors are stupid, though. You can’t see them because your hand covers them up entirely. There’s also no thumb stick customization (dome sticks, length). For less money, you can get a pro level controller that allows this customization. I’ve had no connection issues, but I only play with this controller on my Xbox and a few times on my Asus ROG Ally X.

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.
