A controller best experienced from afar.
Opening the Asus ROG Raikiri Pro treats us to one of the cooler looking stock controllers on the market. It rocks the ROG brand stylings, layering emblazoned plastic on the front panel with an angular RGB LED strip that bounces around the thumb stick. Towards the top of the faceplate sits a black and white OLED full of promise, but like most of the controller, it’s best to lower those expectations as the Raikiri Pro doesn’t live up to its own unboxing hype.
Turning on this Xbox form factor controller will let you see these LEDs in action, with a pulsing rainbow that darts across the front. The light pattern is meant to track around the right thumb stick but is obscured by the heavier plastic and the effect isn’t quite as cool as I expected. During startup, the Asus ROG logo also bounces proudly on the OLED screen for an annoyingly long time before calming down.
I took a trip into Asus’s Armoury Crate software to see what my options were to customise the lights and screen to a more useful effect but there really aren’t a lot of options. You can choose solid colours or default rainbow with a few animation options but that’s about it for the LEDs. The screen has a little bit more flavour allowing you to upload your own animations, or chose from the few available. Mine is now set to be a shark eating a fish, which is much cooler.
With the LEDs falling a bit short, and the screen not really being very useful, the lighting situation on this controller just gets in the way. If anything the lights wound up being a distraction while gaming, only really serving any use when they turn red to let me know the battery needs charging.
