The Asus ROG Raikiri Pro a GO or NOGO? My thoughts

Ойындар

Today I unbox and take a look at the Asus Raikiri Pro controller and giver my absolute honest opinion on it. Can it compete with other controllers in the same space or does it leave them in the dust? With different features going for it let's take a look. Don't forget to like and subscribe to the channel on our road to 1K subs! Thank you for the support Gamers. #Asus #Raikiri #ROG #Gaming

    @Havoc D Honestly the elite series 2 is MUCH better than the series 1. My suggestion is go to gamestop, get a series 2 and get the 1 year protection plan. before the year is up go turn it in and get it replaced for 45 dollars. I do it every single year.

    It was nice to see your review, I picked one up as well. After about 3 days of playing with it I took it back. I currently use the thrustmaster eswap x. And I think that controller blows this Asus ROG away specially for that price.

    My girlfriend took me to Best Buy to get this as a little anniversary gift surprise because I was looking into this thing.... I immediately opened it in the parking lot out of excitement, felt how shitty it felt, let her feel how shitty it felt and we IMMEDIATELY went back in and got a refund and picked up a Dualsense Edge instead within 5 minutes of purchasing it lmao! I own several elite series 2s that I paid less for than this so I honestly can't believe they charged as much for this as they did and expected people to just eat it. The triggers were extremely mushy and even the trigger stops didn't help make them feel better, the buttons and build quality felt like a cheap generic brand level of plastic construction and personally I was just not a fan of the back paddle style and placement on top of them also having the same quality issues as the rest of the buttons. No way this thing should be more than $50 max imo

    I just gotback from bestbuy and have had mine for about 2 hours and its a freaking nintendo pro controller with a screen and it was $184 out the door! Thats like almost 1/3 the price of the damn Ally. The buttons do NOT feel as good as any pro anything I've used. I got it for my Ally because I am desperate to get the command center on the ally working with a controller and hoping this works - dunno will find out soon but DANG 184 bucks WOW (barf) its freaking super cheap feeling, like plastic everything. I have a Mobapad M9-HD ($70) and it blows the freaking doorsoff this as far as quality triggers/buttons/feeling.

    The razer wolverine ultimate pretty much does what this controller does, apart from the fancy screen that comes with the Asus but the razer has a built in volume control for your headset so you can change your volume on the fly. Also the razer has the same trigger stop system as the Asus, really don't get what's so special with the Asus.

    Thanks for your comment and I appreciate the feedback. Honestly my biggest thing here is the lack of changeable sticks. If I had that at the least I may have kept it. I rarely use back paddles though but the placement felt off for my hands. If they come out with a better one maybe I'll try again. One thing I forgot to mention was the software completely didn't work either bro. I was pissed 😅
