ASUS ROG Raikiri II Xbox Wireless Controller - GX501
The ASUS ROG Raikiri II Xbox Wireless Controller is designed for PC and Xbox gamers who want tournament-grade responsiveness without sacrificing versatility. It combines TMR joysticks, micro-switch buttons across every input, and a 1000Hz polling rate in PC mode to reduce latency at every point of contact. Tri-mode connectivity, four rear buttons, and dual-mode triggers give competitive players the flexibility to adapt their setup to any game or platform.
Why this product
1000Hz polling rate on PC
When connected via wired USB-C or 2.4GHz wireless on PC, it reports inputs at 1000 times per second, reducing the gap between action and on-screen response. Xbox consoles run at 250Hz.
TMR joysticks resist drift
Tunneling Magnetoresistance sensors replace the resistive contacts that wear and drift over time, offering more accurate readings while consuming less power than Hall Effect alternatives.
Dual-mode triggers for every playstyle
Each trigger switches between a micro-switch mode with short travel for rapid fire and a full-travel TMR sensor mode for analog control — without tools or disassembly.
Micro-switches on every button
The D-pad, ABXY buttons, bumpers, and four rear buttons all use micro-switches for instant actuation and tactile feedback, matching the feel of the face buttons throughout.
Up to 50 hours per charge
Battery life reaches 50 hours on 2.4GHz wireless with RGB, audio, and vibration disabled. The included charging stand and protective case let it charge and store at the same time.
Tri-mode wireless connectivity
It connects via 2.4GHz RF (enhanced by ROG SpeedNova technology), Bluetooth, or wired USB-C, and is Xbox Series X|S certified for use on console as well as PC and ROG Xbox Ally.

Best for
- PC competitive players who need the lowest possible input latency — 1000Hz polling via wired or 2.4GHz wireless cuts the reporting interval to 1ms.
- Multi-platform households that switch between Xbox Series X|S, PC, and ROG Xbox Ally — tri-mode connectivity means one controller covers all three.
- Gamers who remap controls — four rear buttons and dual-mode triggers expand the available inputs without third-party accessories.
- Long session players who want to go wireless without stopping to recharge — up to 50 hours on a single charge reduces interruptions.
- Users who value included accessories — the package contains a portable protective case, charging stand, stand holder set, and two extra high-profile thumbstick caps.
Trade-offs
- PlayStation users — it is Xbox-certified and Windows-compatible only; PlayStation consoles are not listed as compatible platforms.
- Bluetooth-first wireless users — Bluetooth requires a driver download and does not support the 1000Hz polling rate available over 2.4GHz or wired USB-C.
- Weight-sensitive buyers — at 345g including the cable it is heavier than many standard controllers, which may matter during extended handheld-style play.
- Buyers who need Xbox polling above 250Hz — the 1000Hz rate is a PC-only feature; the controller reports at 250Hz when connected to Xbox consoles.

Arm yourself with a full arsenal of gaming essentials including a lightning-fast 1000Hz polling rate on PC, anti-drift TMR joysticks, triggers with TMR sensor and micro-switch modes, and micro-switches for the D-pad, ABXY buttons, rear buttons and bumpers.
