Overview
- Asus confirmed the Raikiri II Pro and Gjallar in early July, releasing full technical specs for both while holding back final prices and wide availability.
- The Raikiri II Pro targets ultra‑low latency with an 8,000Hz polling rate in wired mode and ROG SpeedNova‑tuned 2.4GHz wireless for fast input response.
- Asus rates the controller at up to 79 hours per charge but says that figure applies at lower polling and with the color panel, lighting, and vibration turned off, so real‑world endurance will vary.
- Customization is central to the controller with a full‑color front panel, hot‑swappable TMR joystick modules, dual‑mode triggers, micro‑switch primary inputs, and Gear Link profile support.
- The Gjallar is a compact 2.1.2 Dolby Atmos soundbar with AEC microphones, HDMI 2.1 eARC, USB‑C, optical and Bluetooth inputs, and integration with Asus’s Gear Link and Armoury Crate software.
