Built for Marathons
Less Weight
At 300g, much like the trend for gaming mice, the lightweight construction makes the Raikiri Pro comfortable to game on over prolonged periods of time, minimizing wrist pain.
More Grip
The ergonomic hand grips are thinner with a flatter arc to cater to varying hand-sizes. The Micro-dot design increases the friction for a firm grip while providing an easy-to-clean surface, as opposed to rubber which most controllers are moving away from due to possible stickiness over time.

Lighter Actuation, No Unwanted Clicks
When rear buttons or paddles are directly underneath the fingers, such controllers are prone to have inadvertent clicks, and thus heavier actuation force must be implemented for prevention. Moving rear buttons to the center makes lighter actuation feasible, resulting in less hand strain over time, and eliminates unwanted clicks.
Easy Identification
The angled surface in conjunction with the cross stripes make each rear button easy to find.

Always Connected
With tri-mode connection, the Raikiri Pro is the perfect companion for the PC, laptop, or the new Ally. The wireless 2.4GHz receiver is safely stored in the back of the Raikiri Pro so it can be carried with you without getting lost easily. With up to 48 hours* of battery life, going wireless means more fun, not frequent charging.

FAQ
Q1: Was the Raikiri Pro designed to be lightweight? A: According to a comprehensive survey with numerous power users, we found that 270-330g is the most comfortable range for prolonged periods of time to avoid wrist pain. In addition, the trend in gaming mice is clearly evident, so lightweight construction was a key focus from inception. With that in mind, we also ensured the construction is highly durable, the Raikiri Pro was able to withstand drop tests on each side from a height of 1.25 m onto steel surface.
Q2: Does the micro-dot design have an advantage over rubber? A: The Micro-Dot design increases the friction for a firm grip even with sweaty hands, while providing an easy-to-clean surface, as opposed to rubber which most game controllers are moving away from due to possible stickiness over time, especially in regions with humid climate.

How to adjust settings of joystick?
3 Rapid/Linear/Gentle­ There are 3 preset curves and 2 additional sets for your own customized curves.

Linear: Move/Aim at the same rate as the navigating stroke if the joystick Frequently used for games you’re controlling the camera view or character moving

• Refer to the ROG Raikiri Series Tutorial Video for the further details.

Gentle: Move/Aim within a fine input range of the joystick is great for aiming but hard to keep up with a fast target.
Rapid: Faster and more responsive Move/Aim Instantly responsive, but hard to control when just starting out

How to adjust settings of joystick?

1 Dead Zone: Defines circular boundary where the joystick can move freely without any input registered

2 Outer Threshold: Same idea as dead zone, except it applies to the outer limits of the joystick’s movement.

Applying little or no dead zone for most precision in games, but except for racing.
Without a dead zone, every movement is making you drift from side to side.

Applying dead zone of 12% means that no input will be registered unless the joystick moves at least that much from the center.

If the outer threshold set to 90%, the maximum input can be reached as soon as the joystick moves at least 90% from the resting position as opposed to the usual 100%.

• Refer to the ROG Raikiri Series Tutorial Video for the further details.

3 Main Curve: You can also shift 4 plots on the curve if you wish to try larger values for Dead Zone and Outer Threshold.

4 Invert X or Y axis: Most games provide the option of inverting the X or Y axis, especially flight sims and FPS. These settings are here in case the games don’t have them or force you to play inverted.

• Refer to the ROG Raikiri Series Tutorial Video for the further details.
