Since its reveal at Gamescom, my most anticipated Xbox controller has been the Asus ROG Raikiri II. For context, I really wasn't that big a fan of the original Raikiri Pro controller. It had such a cool design, and even helped coin the current trend of Xbox Series X controllers that have small displays on them.
But its flashy design got in the way of it being a good gamepad first and foremost. Its back button placement was all over the place, and it didn't do much to justify its price. Ever since, I've been waiting for a version of this controller that would live up to its potential, and now it's available for $189.99 at Best Buy.
