Pretty great after the update!! So much faster and lighter than my Elite 2 controller also making it great for travel. The RGB lighting also matches the Ally X perfectly!

Connects flawlessley and response time is amazing.

Great controller overall, I like the "mouse click" feel & sound of all the buttons. Setting up the paddle buttons is a bit confusing I would assume more so for console players. I think all they're missing is an app rather than a website. Other issue is that the 2.4 Ghz dongle for whatever reason decides to disconnect while in use intermittently.

You need a PC to configure this controller. If you’re buying this controller just to play it on your Xbox, your will be upset. Straight out of the box the controller is restricted to just the normal face buttons and triggers like any other controller. You can’t use the M1-M4 buttons on the back of the controller unless you first sync your controller to the ASUS program on the PC. There you can map your buttons. This controller needs an extensive amount of tweaking on the PC first before it plays like an Xbox elite controller does out of the box for FPS multiplayer games. I am disappointed with this controller, it’s way too small for my hands, it’s smaller than an Elite Controller, so be warned if you have big hands, it’s not going to feel comfortable. Brace for a lot of tweaking on a computer before you’re even remotely satisfied with how the Raikiri II plays in your hand. If you only have a console and no PC, stay far away from this controller. You will not be able to get the skill buttons on the back of the controller to function without a PC. If you are console only, the new Razor Wolverine works much better out of the box and it has a built in program to use on the Xbox console for the Wolverine to customize, update and map the controller. There is no ASUS program on the Xbox Series X to update and map your buttons. I can’t believe ASUS was ok with releasing this controller. This ASUS controller feels like a rough prototype, a prototype that does not feel remotely like a finished product at all. I do not recommend this iteration of the controller.

I can’t recommend this controller. You can’t access customization unless you’re on windows. Everything about this controller is pretty good. I have no real notes for how to improve the controller. The price is hard to stomach. I have a $50 gamesir controller that feels cheap compared to this but is every bit as good as this controller. I bought this to be a companion to my Xbox ally x but the armory crate button doesn’t work outta the box. You have to manually set it yourself. Why? Yeah I would skip this one.

Honestly love this controller. The price seems a little steep, but it holds up to the other premium controllers on the market. The mouse click triggers are fantastic for FPS games, and I really like how all of the other buttons are mouse click as well, instead of being spongey.

Let's start off with a bad, the TMR thumb sticks are pretty bad. Even through a couple of updates they are not that responsive. Especially, in the very beginning when you want to start tracking a enemy in shooting games. Almost feels delayed, and that's with zero dead zone. The back buttons are placed in the perfect spot but the shape of them makes it feel awkward. Similar placement like the razor wolverine V3 Pro but that one has better shaped buttons. The software app is really limited. The thumb sticks movement during gameplay is what makes this a huge deal breaker. Plus, you can get a game sir G7 Pro Wireless with all these features for $100 and a razor wolverine V3 Pro Wireless on sale for way less than this too not to mention the wired version under $100. * For the good things, the controller feels premium. The materials feel amazing especially around where your palms hold the controller. Kind of feels velvetish. All buttons feel responsive and the thumb sticks material feels great. Kind of feels different around the edge but in a good way. The controller looks great. A+ for cosmetics.wish they would have added 2 more extra buttons at the top. Unfortunately, for this price I cannot recommend this controller. There are too many options out now that give all these features plus awesome apps, and great customer service. This controller should be around $120. I purchased this and received it the day it hit the shelf. I've put in a few hundred hours of non-stop competitive FPS gameplay. I ended up returning it for a full refund due to the issues I listed above.

Bought this for my husband as a gift as a new replacement for his controller. He loves it, says it’s so smooth, no stick drag and likes that all the buttons feel nice when they click.

Haven’t really had a chance to test it out are you still a little bit? It seems cool.

Software is okay and not great. Doesnt work seamlessly with the new ROG Xbox ally X. You'll have to use the gearlink instead. Controller is defaulted to 10% dift and I recommend setting it to 0%. The top two extra buttons on the top dont work through the ally x, and you cant program the M keys similar to the ally x. The dongle port doesnt fit snugly on the controller but that isnt a deal breaker. I enjoy the clicky keys and triggers.

pretty good controller. Feels like dead zone is far

Great controller for everyday use on my Xbox rog ally x

If you have high ferretin this controller might hurt your hands. At a minimum it floats best in your hands do not grip this thing if you have hemochromatosis.

Love this controller, but both triggers became stuck within 3 weeks of owning it and don't retract all the way out after pressing them anymore.

It feels great in the hands very responsive placement on the back buttons are perfect. The only drawback is the price.

Was time for another controller after my second elite series 2 controller developed stick drift. Buttons are crisp and are satisfying to press.
