Overview
- ASUS announced the Raikiri II at Gamescom 2025 as its first Xbox-certified wireless controller.
- The gamepad uses anti-drift TMR joysticks that ASUS claims offer greater precision and lower power draw than Hall-effect sticks, with independent testing still to come.
- It supports 1,000 Hz polling over the 2.4 GHz dongle in PC mode and features micro-switch buttons, dual-mode triggers, and four programmable rear buttons.
- Compatibility spans PC, Xbox Series X/S, and ROG Ally handhelds, and the package includes a charging travel case with up to 30 hours of battery life when vibration and RGB are off.
- ASUS has not disclosed pricing or a release date, and the design drops the Raikiri Pro’s front OLED in favor of a cleaner layout.
