😂.... it's the elite series 2 much better then the series 1 .. I haven't jumped up to the next one yet.... it's it worth upgrading? ... great content man ... appreciate the honesty 🙏🏽 👏 🙌 👌
@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.
THANKS!! I'm really glad I'm not the only one that feels like this product was criminally underwhelming. I'll have to look your controller up. I appreciate you watching my video man. Trying to grow
Damn. I agree with you 100% about the carrying case. What makes it all worse is they're selling it alongside a HANDHELD! HELLO! It's gonna be moving around with us 🤦🏾
honestly i hate the case from the series 2, the net is directly on the sticks when closed. nice review, finally someone who talks facts. all the bigger youtubers just lie to us
@marcofolie90 I really appreciate your comment. I'm trying to keep real gamers from wasting their money instead of just hyping products up like the big channels. You're right about the mesh too lol. I always take the sticks off because that mesh is useless lol
how do you connect the Rog Raikiri pro to the Rog ally or Steamdeck? I find it difficult to connect.. I clicked the top right button and it shows the menu but I don't know which button to click to enter.. also i clicked the pair button under but it didn't do anything..
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.
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
THANK YOU!! I'm really trying to help people not waste their money here. Everything you said was on point. Just overall trash product and there's no amount of Copium that I was gonna take to justify it. Asus really hyped this thing up to be next gen and it's absolutely garbage. Hell a Nintendo switch pro controller is better lol
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 cost is in the display. I'm not convinced that it's worth it. I got an Xbox Elite 2 Core model for $100. Added the paddles for another $8. No charging stand but for $100 it's all I need and then some.
Alot of people siss the regular controller but I love it , especially the elite however we need new sticks because they drift however i think they made a kit that fixes drift. But yeah ill never buy this. Maybe the xenon one
Jeeze louiz dude! U need to take care of your controllers! It's good to have multiple controllers u can swap out so u don't wear out your main controller.
lololol Yeah I go through controllers like crazy. I think I've had 4 scuffs but I gave them to my daughter and kept one. 5 elite series 1 and 3 elite series 2. 😅 I still got 2 regular controllers but I just have them for my nephews.
One of my classic xbox one controler died and I was thinking of getting another one, i was hesitant between this one and the elite 2, you thinik it's better to get the elite?
Yes, get the elite from game stop and put the protection plan on it. Then before the expiration just return it for a new one and re purchase protection plan.
It was garbage. I ended up getting a refund. The button placement on the bottom was just "off" and honestly I think it was a cash grab for asus. There was nothing that stood out for the price paid.
It could have been something special but they had to screw it all up. All they had to do was keep everything the same as the Xbox elite controller. Just add the screen and awesome asus look to it and it would have been 🔥!!
ima be real to each is own but yall gotta understand yall paying for the name and the oled...and in my opinion this controller is way better than the elites 2 by far..in reality nobody really cares about a case...2 you gotta adjust to new controllers like the razer v2..not throwing shade just tired of seeing people talk down on new products that dont give em a chance and i do agree with the price...it is not worth that price at all so i do agree with that...idk i had all these controllers and thats just my opinion..good vid tho
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 😅
@@DARTHSKATER7 i agree with you and i no lie i swapped mine out lol i would send a pic if you have instagram or twitter..but i agree with you 100 percent
Sorry man I'll open it faster next time for you 🤣. Here's a tip though for future reference. There's a slider on the bottom of the video that you can use to skip ahead like magic 🤣
Got mine few months back and everything about this feels cheap on hand and I stick to my 8bitdo ultimate. Flydigi Apex 4 is out now and pre-ordered. Massive disappointment of ROG as a ROG stan.
I'm glad someone understands where I was coming from with this!! I'm a ROG stan as well and that's what made this hurt most. I just did a 8BitDo video on the ultimate. Check it out
It is clear that you don’t have PC, you missed out a lot of potentials. All my Xbox controllers are retired now, I’m all into Raikiri now after I realized how powerful the software is.

THANK YOU!! I was literally thinking this same thing. Coming from you I definitely appreciate the feedback bro. 💯

Get the V2 chroma for slightly more or less, it's the cheaper and partially better alternative to the PS5 version
@DARTHSKATER7 the Scuf Instinct Pro i bought a year ago didn’t come with a controller case.
Dang bro that's unacceptable 😢
Thank you for this ... I'll stay with my scuf instinct pro :)
No problem at all. This thing was such a disappointment
I don't think I'll skip, for uniform purposes but, I do appreciate your video. Can't say I didn't know.

Are you using the Dual Sense on PC or Xbox?

Completely agreed
Can that controller work with the steamdeck
Alot of people siss the regular controller but I love it , especially the elite however we need new sticks because they drift however i think they made a kit that fixes drift. But yeah ill never buy this. Maybe the xenon one
The Microsoft Elite 2 is great. Tried and trusted.
Waiting for no 3.
This controller aint it cheif.
Great video
Yeah I'm so glad I got my money back because this thing was straight up trash lol
So how are u liking that Rog Ally? You like it better than the Deck? Switch?
I don't have the ally yet. Decided to hold off on it for now. I'm heavy into emulation on the deck. I ended up getting a miyoo mini plus instead lol
If the glass has like gorilla glass victus or something, and the sticks had no stick drift, then maybe I'd say it's worth it ngl
They don't have haleffect sticks so stick drift can or will happen eventually unfortunately.

How is functionality compared to elite ?
It was garbage. I ended up getting a refund. The button placement on the bottom was just "off" and honestly I think it was a cash grab for asus. There was nothing that stood out for the price paid.
THE CONTROLLER IS GOOD FOR ALL ASUS ROG ALLY GAMES?
There have been reports that it's hard to connect to the rog ally for some reason
It could have been something special but they had to screw it all up. All they had to do was keep everything the same as the Xbox elite controller. Just add the screen and awesome asus look to it and it would have been 🔥!!

there is no way Microsoft would have partnered with ASUS if the rog controller could do everything the Elite controller does.

Cant wait to get this controller on a deep discount and mod the f out of it lol
A bunch of mods would definitely save it and make it awesome!! Hey keep me posted. I'd love to see this one evolve

EXACTLY!! I tried to convey that but you are exactly right. Just felt like a cheap toy
You’re not wrong. It sucks. I wanted to like it but it’s sucks and the led menu sucks and I couldn’t get it to pair with my Rog Ally

So here's a fun fact.... All the music heard in the video is from the synthwave channel I was listening to on my PC while recording 😂
Bugged software. Skips menus by one tile. Exchanged for another same issue. Back to elite 2. Buyer beware
Thanks for confirming! Spot on because I've heard this too but never had someone to confirm
183 no carrying case or swappable sticks or paddles I'ma pass
Yeah this thing is going back today. Did you see my final thoughts at the end? Freaking ridiculous launch with this crap
This sould be a 60 dolar controller
As cheap as it feels I woulda said 30 honestly
Not even bluetooth and how much $180 😂

I cant even aim with hall effect stick, stay with normal stick
