    Ergonomics are very nice in this controller. I enjoy the oled display. Gives it a nice touch. The display is a scratch magnet though so I’d recommend those screen protectors that you can cut to fit. Only thing that would make this controller even better is to be able to sync to Xbox consoles wirelessly and a slightly better battery

    I have an exclusive Xbox Controller (not pro) which I found to be a bit more comfortable than tbe ROG Raikiri Pro. The USB-C and the 2.4GHz dongle is a really good addition, considering the other controllers out there dont give them out for a good price. ASUS is always a good brand overall but the back buttons positions are not that great; people with small hands might have trouble using them.

    It’s a nice controller, but I think it could be a little cheaper that 170 dollars. I have no complaints on functionality. I think it’s a great feeling controller

    I got this controller the other day to pair with my ROG Ally. Controller works great and looks cool! I havent used a controller in years after switching to pc to its taking time to get used to it again. The screen isnt really used for much and is a gimmick. The quality of the controller itself os pretty mid. Just all plastic. The other jught my right joystick made a crunch noise, stopped working, and sounded awful when i moved it around. I ended up returning and grtting a Xbox Elite series 2 controller. Way better quality feel, buttons, joysticks, all the customization, and also a awesome case plus wireless charger inside for the controller. IMO, for the price youre paying, get the Elite series 2 and get better in every category. I dont regret returning my now broken controller for a way better quality one.

    Similar to an elite 2 with a better feel and more features. I was nervous to spend as much after looking at the reviews but went ahead and got it anyways and I am not disappointed in any way. I love the customizable features along with the fact that it works flawlessly with the rog ally.

    So this controller is probably the best controller I've ever had, and thats coming from someone that has literally purchased almost every 3rd party controller that has come out. The truth is almost all the other brands, razer, thrustmaster, Pdp, you name it. Even my Elite series 1 and 2 have all broken with in a year. Bad thumb sticks bad buttons, bumpers ect. This is the first controller ive had that has had zero problems. It was so good I went back and purchased a second for my xbox. The only problem some people might have is the lack of wireless support on the Xbox series x. Dont ask me why, the wireless is flawless on my PC and my ROG ally. Bluetooth or 2.4 it works great. But you have to run a hardline for the Xbox. Not a big deal for me but some people might not like that.

    Got this to use with my almost here ROG Ally when docked to TV and to use with my Desktop PC. Bluetooth is lightning fast and couldnt notics any lag difference between Bluetooth and 2.4. Lighting is awesome, can plug in and customize controls and lighting in armory crate. Grippy, stylish, enjoy seeing batrery life on little lcd screen. If it came with a case like my old LE Xbox Pro controller did it would have been perfect. No complaints. Worth every penny.

    Solid feeling controller, with an easy to use screen interface once you understand how it works. Responsive and the rgb lighting actually looks really cool. I do wish the profiles and screen use with a bit more fluid though, kinda clunky

    It took me over 4 hours to get this setup on the asus rog ally. I returned it! Firstly the drivers need to be downloaded to the devices as an update to use Bluetooth. The instruction manual does not explicitly tell you how to get the controller into Bluetooth mode. The setting on the controller need to be set for this to work. Using the on board controller screen you need to follow the prompts to tell it to operate in Bluetooth mode. Got that working after about 45 minutes of research, ok how do I enable the back buttons… after another hour you need to PLUG THE CONTROLLER IN and do an update on armory crate which introduces a new option under the settings panel. Mind you the controller settings can only be changed while it’s plugged in.. also you need a mouse connected to your rog ally to even use this menu as the screen is designed for larger monitors!!!! Ok figured this out, awaiting the files to be transferred via cable. It took 10 minutes.. Ok enabled the back button simply set them to other button on the controller like LB/RB, LTC/B button.. I’m in about 2 hours at this point, l fire up my game and the button are not being recognized. Never worked!! Also the dead zone of this controller matches the broken deadzone of the rog ally build in thumb sticks. I simply went back and returned it.

    I played a few matches with this controller on fighting type games recently and the sticks or buttons would be unresponsive at times even on games like call of duty other than that the controller is okay but for the price it's not worth it even though I upgraded the software for the controller in some areas. I recommend waiting for a price drop

    This must be one of the best looking XBox controllers out there. The screen is great for switching between Bluetooth and 2.4 RF, but once you have done that it's pretty useless. As a PC gamer, I don't care about the fact it can only connect to an XBox through a wire... but if I did have an XBox I'd find that pretty annoying. Also, as a PC gamer, I never used the on board sound card, which other reviews say is great, but I have no need of. My biggest disappointment though, are the programmable buttons on the back. They are easy to accidentally press, while simultaneously being hard to find when you actually want them. What's worse though, is that since this is a PC-centric controller, I thought programmable buttons meant you could remap the buttons however you wanted. The ability to bind the back buttons to keyboard and mouse functions would make this a great controller, once you got used to where the buttons were, but they can only be bound to existing gamepad functions. This is a huge oversight by Asus, and the main reason I'll be returning the controller. Overall, it's nice, I do like it, but it's way, way overpriced for the limited features it comes with. For $100 I might have kept it, but $170 is a bridge too far.
