ASUS has introduced the ROG Raikiri II Pro, a PC gaming controller designed to give players faster response times and deeper hardware customization. The device targets competitive gamers who need precise input and the ability to swap components without tools. This release expands ASUS's lineup of high-end peripherals with a focus on modular design and wireless speed.
Modular gaming controller adds hot-swappable TMR sticks and dual-mode triggers
The controller connects via 2.4GHz ROG SpeedNova wireless technology to deliver an 8000Hz polling rate. This high-frequency connection ensures that every movement and button press registers with minimal delay. The system relies on this wireless protocol to maintain stability while pushing data rates well beyond standard gaming peripherals.
Hardware customization centers on hot-swappable TMR joystick modules that come in two force options. The standard module provides 120gf of resistance, while an additional 50gf module allows for lighter actuation. Users can swap these modules using the included removal tool to match their preferred analog stick feel.
The triggers offer a dual-mode design that lets players choose between a micro-switch short stroke and a TMR full stroke. All buttons on the controller utilize micro switches for consistent tactile feedback. The package includes a portable protective charging case, a charging stand with a bracket, and four rear button cover plates for further configuration.
ASUS Gear Link software supports button remapping, turbo mode, and five unique user profiles for different games. The controller is rated for up to 79 hours of battery life on 2.4GHz wireless with a single charge. We looked at the Asus ROG Harpe II Extreme Edition earlier while tracking ASUS launches.
