ETA out here showing how it's done in the racing Sims! Love your content!
Just got this on sale for 120. Thanks for the video. Very helpful
Hey your videos are great. Keep the vids coming.
Definitely gonna pick this up.
For me this controller would only be justifiable if you could have full control of armory crate and comand center (like the controller on the Ally). If it would have a shortcut for opening comand center and armory crate only then it would make sense to enter in a ally ecosystem.
You can map the back buttons to open both
@@DannyM246 if you don't mind me asking. How? At least for other controllers the ally doesn't offer any kind of remapping option.
@@WillySouthis controller is integrated with the ally software, armoury crate SE. So you can just plug the controller in and go to connected devices and fiddle with it there
@@Mzz_401 thanks. Ok👍 maybe than map a rear button to ctrl+alt+C. That would be the solution then no?
@@DannyM246 can we also move the Cursor around using this controller ?.. like we do in the handheld mode
Great video!!!
$160 for a controller without hall sticks in 2023? Bold choice ASUS... Last week I bought a Mobapad M9 for literally half that with hall sticks, hall triggers, and mechanical buttons.
I'm looking at the Mobapad M9, and wow only $73 on Amazon.
UPDATE: ok got the M9-HD and it's a switch controller, a very nice switch controller but thats it. It says it works in Windows but it's a pain in the a$$ to do any configurations with it and remapping can only be done with a phone/tablet - wtf? You can remap the ABXY buttons but all the others cannot be configured to operate command center or anything. too bad Im returning it today. Just was to much hastle to deal with
This controller might works better for my submarine than 13 years old logitech F710
Too soon
Lmao
Na this 1 being used for the helicopter going to mars
That D-Pad though 😂
Having used the original Snes contorller for years back in the day. I've always had issues with other D-pads and is the only thing I really look closely at with other controllers. Even if the rest of the controller is amazing the D-pad can be a deal breaker.
Same I would say ps1,ps2,Snes have God tier dpads kudos to xbox though I like the new dpad on there as well
I like the separate quadrant style Dpads too which is why I prefer Sony controllers for fighting games.
@@MrWhis-fe5hsPS2? PS2s dpad was terrible, not good at all.
Super Nintendo I agree but the vita had a better dpad than the ps2
IMO, this controller is super underrated. I wish it had more attention to PC players.
Curious to your SF6 settings as you were locked at 60fps with very good graphics settings apparently. Care to share?
I'm thinking of getting the ROG Raikiri or Raikiri pro specifically for tekken 8 but as you mentioned, the D pad on the PRO model doesn't look too good for fighting game too. How is the D-pad on the non pro variant?
yeah, for that price I think they went too safe as an option. But also, Asus its a DIVA to price their hardware, kinda like RAZER. The D-Pad was a terrible part of the gamepad to be honest, easy missoportunity. Lovely review ETA!
I use it everyday and I love it. I use a mime gif for the screen animation
Asus should have added Armoury Crate buttons, I would have copped if they did.
I own both the elite and raikiri and it has given me so many problems despite updating connecting reconnecting while my elite has been flawless
5:44 of note: it CANNOT be bound to a keyboard button.
The options Armoury Crate provides are:
Remap button
Left joystick sensitivity
Right joystick sensitivity
Disable
When using the Remap button setting, it only gives the following options to remap the back buttons to:
Up, Down, Left, RIght, LSB, RSB, LB, RB, A, B, X, Y
There is no option to bind to a keyboard button / key.
@etaprima at about 7:10 you see the Ally on a USB dock. What brand/type is it ? does it work with getting the Turbo from 25W to 30W ?
Are the bumpers the exact same as an Xbox controller? Those have always been the first thing to fail on me with the elite controllers (will double/triple press when only hit once)
Nice review, I still need to know if that 2.4ghz USB connection will work with Xbox or only PC.
It definitely will work, but from what I have been reading, it doesn't work wireless. You need to connect with a USB
for the xbox you meed to use the wire
ETA Prime, I was considering getting this controller for my Rog Ally, but it doesn't have the custom buttons from the Rog Ally for Armory Crate and Command Center so you can change performance stats, TDP changes from Silent to Turbo, etc.
Can you configure those custom buttons to the controller?
It seems like this controller was designed to compete with the elite controllers, but not tailored for Rog Ally specifically.
This was on my list for same reasons....I expected the front face buttons to provide access to those things but no talk about those here, just the back buttons.
Does it operate like the regular rog ally controls? Like as in: does the right stick work like a mouse and can you launch Command Center and Armory crate? If you can’t, I wanna know why. Why would ASUS make something that isn’t exactly like their handheld? If you can, then cool, I’m in.
Does Armory Crate only detect the Raikiri when you connect it or does this also happen when you connect controllers from other brands?
>"You diffidently don't want to use those Modern Controls"
Except if you play Luke, Guile, Zangief, and Lily since it not only makes them easier to play but they also lose almost nothing in their move kit. However, a good d-pad is still needed to pull off special moves and supers even in Modern Controls since manually using said moves doesn't reduce their damage.
160$?! That's just ridiculous, especially without hall effect sticks and triggers. That pointless screen is certainly not adding anything of value.
But speaking of controllers - 8bitdo has announced an neo geo style controller, that could be interesting for a fighting game fan like yourself (even though the Neo Geo fighters were usually 4 button fighters, not 6 like SF if I recall correctly)
My Raikiri has a DPAD ghost/double when press right or left. Returned to claim today.
Does it work on a submarine?
No hall sticks, no buy.
I only have Dualsense 5 controllers i know i can use that but what about switching between ps5 en the Ally? Will i turn on my ps5 once i connected to the ally? The buttons wont "match" ... Idk whats another option?
Since I first knew about this remote, I wanted to get it, but for that price, I can only connect to it with USB on an xbox 👎been reading the reviews got a 3.5 😱
I got power A enhanced controller i paid like £20 for it. It is wired, feel better build then official xbox one.
Hey !!! Just bought this controller from best buy with my Rog ally ! I can’t figure out how to properly update it as it’s asking me to use both 2.4ghz mode and wired mode off. Haven’t a clue how to do what it’s asking me so I can update it! Any ideas ?
5:40 the back buttons are not assignable to keyboard keys, not sure why you would say that
Maybe reWASD can add support at some time to enable this, but obviously requiring 3rd party software to do that is sad for a "Pro" controller
You can do that with the ally buttons so it would be logical to assume it would work the same here so I suppose he just didn’t check
Ooh fancy, might be time to replace my MSI gamepad.
This would be great for trolling my friends and brothers by setting taunts and trash talk messages on the OLED screen. Like GOAT on mine and Sore Loser 1 (2, 3, etc.) on theirs😂
Asus should have used this color scheme for the Ally.
The "Sf6 Modern Control" hate is real @1:45. 😂
Maybe this controller would have saved the Titanic exploration.
This is my controller for Xbox/ pc games and the Google Stadia controller for my phone .
What time of controllers are compatible with rog ally?
Does the headphone jack work when you're wireless on PC?
battery? please tell me about battery. is incapsuled battery so how big is this?
Are you going to check out Minisforums HN2673 it has a discrete Intel Arc mobile gpu
_Can't Believe The Flydigi Apex 3 Controller Has An Older Brother._
Nice, though the Apex 3's adaptive triggers still make it the only real Dualsense alternative on PC.
@@GravityKnight It Really Is The Dualsense Alternative, It Even Have A Gyro Feature.
Remember hearing about this a while ago. Anyone know what its like on series x?
Man I was so excited for this controller. But it doesn't have hall effect.
I'm basically just always using my King Kong pro 2..
That hall effect precision. On and/or for PC. Chef's kiss. You might say I'm a controller connoisseur. And I'm a proponent for Asus. So you would think it's a match made in heaven.!
But I think ASUS was just phoning this one in.! They were like. " Oh yeah we'll put an LED's and a OLED display on it. Those junk Controller Gamers won't know the difference.!" And hey if you can't notice a precision difference. Between traditional analog and hall effect. Then fine. Good for you. I mean that's sad. But I guess if you don't care. Then it doesn't really matter. For you. But for everyone else. It's a pretty big deal.!
So the fact that it doesn't have hall effect sensors. Only means they want you to buy more of them when it stops working. And that they think because you use a controller you don't have the precision. Like it's not required.!
So if it works for you. Great.! But it"s a disappointment for me. I guess I expected more from Asus on such a ubiquitous device.!
Anywho. Excellent video.! Thank you sir.! 👍👍
Eh. It's fine if you don't like ASUS' controller. My mom is gonna get it for me very soon.
Need a track pad controller
Does this controller have gyro sensor?
Been waiting for an oled screen to be affordable, not on a controller though.
Please review Flydigi Vader 3 pro.
I might be interested if the display could show performance metrics, at least FPS. Otherwise it is just a distracting gimmick to me.
I really wish those two front buttons inside the trigger cluster for the screen were actual buttons a la the Razer Wolverine. The paddle position looks really nice, if weirdly shaped. I just cant stand the habit of controller makers to put paddles in the most inconveniently placed misclick zone so its always good to see a controller that doesnt put them right on the inside of the damn grips. Its also just a better place for them than that shitty side action design Scuf uses for their new PC controller.
Honestly, if it had those 2 extra buttons, I'd be interested in checking this out as a replacement for my Wolverine because Armoury Crate looks a lot better for controller setup than Razer Syapse is. But with only the 4 paddles and the gimmick of having a screen, plus no hall effect sticks...i cant really justify the price, even as someone whos generally willing to pay premiums for good controllers and mice.
Wait wait wait.... no hall effect??? For this price???? Why would anyone buy this?!?!
I know right! Joystick drift in few months 😬😂
Exactly. I bought a controller with Hall effect triggers and sticks for 1/3 the price of this. And it has RGB too.
@@aaronogden9900which controller please share name
@@SamS-ef5ez I have a Gamesir T4 Kaleid. It’s wired so you pay a bit more for a built in battery. It has satisfying clicky face buttons and two back grip buttons too.
I’ve been in the market for a New Controller because the Xbox series controllers are way too loud for a late night gaming. I keep my whole family up.
How’s the noise of button presses compared to the Xbox controller?
I have an elite series 2 I use for my PC and never thought the buttons were that loud.
This controller has no hall effect trigger and joystick, i dont recommend
Whats the point. if latency is a concern use the rog ally controls anyways. If latency is not a concern then so many other options. One can go for the wireless 60m HDMI devices at the same price and use the ROG Ally in desktop mode wirelessly. Another option is having monitor smartTVs with inbuilt Remote Desktop Protocol support. Just have RDP service setup on the Ally and any RDP client on the local network will be able to use it. If playing in desktop mode its meh to not use superior keyboard and mouse controllers.
I would instead explore accessories that provide wireless HDMI, touchpad, nipple/clit mouse, dense but carryable banks, coolers etc
They really missed the opportunity to so so much with the display, not etuoud wallpapers, but they coukd ahve done custom macro inputs on the fly but changes etc
"yo dawg, we heard you like controller...so, we sell you a controller for your controller!"
What's purpose of the oled monitor @@
Kiki controller that's the nickname i given it 😅
Waste of money if you don't have a controller already somehow... I'd skip this $150 controller
Yup! The tiny screen on the controller is basically useless lmao
Well I mean the Xbox series elite controller is $170 and people don’t have a problem buying that 🫤
@@CJTheTokay they can just use that then
@@Joeybatz33 I mean obviously you don't need two expensive controllers, but if you plan on getting the Elite series controller you may as well buy this one
@@CJTheTokay Well except that has different thumsticks, tensioner, swappable back paddles, D-pad, this one has a usless goddamn screen and ROG Branding.
Have never experienced lag with a controller even over BT
It’s there bud, every scenario is different, 8bitdo pro 2 over Bluetooth on pc was horrible for me I kept getting studder in my games and did everything to eliminate those issues on the pc’s end and no luck until I switched controllers and also troubleshooted using keyboard and mouse and my issues were gone, this waste of money controller in this video was good over 2.4 ghz
Just get the 8Bitdo ultimate controller for $70. I got one for my son, it has PC and Switch support, bluetooth, 2.4g, charging base, hall sensors, software to customize everything. It's a great controller.
Does this work for steam deck?
wish they made a PS layout version and got rid of the dish
Im waiting on the rog ally 3 lite. Hopefully it will release in 3-4 weeks
I plugged mine into the ALLY with a USB hub I have and it will not show up the Connected Devices in Armoury Crate.... Not sure why
Can anyone help me connect it beacue no matter what i do it wont connect i tried bluetooth kn a bunc of apps
Did you ever figure it out? My connects Bluetooth but doesn’t work for any games if I’m trying to play wirelessly
I thought about buying this controller for my ally but I just use a ps5 controller with a wireless adapter I found on Amazon.
Wireless adapter? Ps5 controller has bluetooth… use the charging cable to connect it to ROG ally dock and run the DS4 app, takes 30 seconds. You don’t need any kind of adapter to use the ps5 controller on ROG Ally.
@@IroonieLA its a adapter for the switch, rather than pair the controller to the ally I just plugged in the adapter.
Them not installing hall sensor joysticks is a major L. I'd rather keep using my Gulikit kong2 contoller.
compatible to android?
No gyro? For Ally? Why for that pricing?!?
does it work on android?
so this doesn’t work with g helper????
The only reason to buy this would be if your default controller on the console fails.
This controller is fantastic! I want it. :3
(If anyone else hates this controller, that's fine.)
This controller also really fits the ROG Ally!
Ahh but can it wake up the Ally 🧐?
If it was in white I’d be more interested 😅
looks like a decent alternative for the elite controller but i ain’t buying a controller in 2023 without hall effect, just ends up trash and a waste of money in a year
I'm worried about the battery life of this thing
I've been looking at this controller, mostly for playing FIFA 23 and EA Sports FC 24, but the price is is way too high imho.
Kakashi won't be happy with this
Yeah I love this controller but unfortunately this controller officially not available in India😢😢😢
I felt your pain bro
Thats a good thing
I would like to point out that it is pronounced "Rye-Ki-Ri", it actually sounds like you just dropped the "I"
So the Elite has swappable D-Pad, back paddles, thumbsticks, and tensioner, this one has a tacky screen and ROG branding. Oof!
i loved the elite 2 from what it felt like and its features but it came brand new with a slight stickdrift and after a week the A button didnt always work so i sent it back without a replacement because i read soooo many people have similiar problems and sent back their controller 4 or more times :(
Same issue i had!@@sebbysupreme7963
Ordered one. Sad fact is the need to go pro if you want wireless. The rgb and Oled are mostly useless ambient light projecting annonces. i hope there is power save feature to have blacked out oled and i can turn off the Stupid rgb. dimmable Ligh illumination on the control wands mounts would have been a cool instead useless decorating rgb
Can u play steam games on this
Yes
Just like the ally the extra buttons are cheap plastic, it’s a fast wireless controller no doubt but it’s literally only compatible with windows and windows based consoles like Xbox, wired and wireless it’s not compatible with the steam deck, I took back my ally but the accessories looked fun to try so I got the charger dock which I do like a lot, the controller seemed decent on PC but as soon as I tried it on the steam deck it simply did not work, returned the controller and will probably just get me a design lab series controller with grips
If you wanted it to work on the Steam Deck, you should have just got a USB adapter for it.
I bought mine for only $ 65 in shopee
Funny nobody tell you that when your raikiri runs out of battery you have to turn off the controller and remove dongle from your pc othewise wont let you use another standar xbox controller lol
There isn't much info on their joysticks on their website or anywhere. Stick dift incoming...
Signs of degradation for most controllers are usally around 4-6 weeks. I will get it of course. I will send it back if I discover any sign degradation. $170 USD controller?
I think the price is fair.
I'm a rog person whole pc is rog
They just can't help but produce gaudy and gimmicky stuff, urgggghhhhh
So whats the point buying handheld but playing with controller.. With small screen somemore.. 😅
Did you forget you can hook it to a tv or monitor when you hook to a to tv/monitor you going to want to play with a controller
It's weird that it both looks stupid expensive and also super cheap.
Stick to 8bit, any of them far better option and under 80dlls
NOT WORTH THE PRICE
No Hall effect joysticks or triggers, the rest of the options are available in any 3rd party controller these days for way cheaper like 8bitdo if u want quality product
It will never be an ultimate controller for fighting games when it still only has 4 face buttons. I want 6 buttons on the face, period. Just make them duplicates of the R1 and L1 shoulder buttons in the electronics to keep it simple as far as programming goes. This is not rocket science. As long as Streetfighter exists, I want a controller with 6 face buttons.
bro clearly ASUS have stuffed dollar bills in your pockets please just move on from the ally ffs
I need a mouse controller hybrid.
Steam controller
@@donniedarko4497 unless you're willing to pay a premium to get a discontinued product, no, it's not a valid option
One of the few options you have rn is the Darkwalker Shotpad. It's jank but you really don't have anything else close to a Steam Controller that's been discontinued for a few years now
Some of the videos ETA be pumping out just don't make sense.
