A new Xbox controller by Asus called the ROG Raikiri Pro will be released later this year, offering some advanced features as well as a built-in OLED display that will set it apart from other pro controllers, including the already available ROG Raikiri controller.
The most defining feature of the ROG Raikiri Pro is the already mentioned built-in 1.3-inch OLED display. This display, placed right above the Xbox button, can be used to show custom animations, battery and mic status, Bluetooth pairing, and more.
This tiny display won't be the only feature that will make the ROG Raikiri Pro a proper pro controller. Tri-mode connectivity, intuitive rear controls with four programmable left and right buttons, selectable step triggers, premium sound powered by built-in ESS DAC, and extensive customization will make the Asus controller the one to get for those looking for the ultimate controller.
The ROG Raikiri Pro PC Controller features a built-in OLED display, tri-mode connectivity, four rear buttons, selectable step triggers, an ESS DAC, plus adjustable joystick sensitivity and response curves.
