ASUS brings its love for adding small screens on its devices to a new Republic of Gamers controller. The ASUS ROG Raikiri Pro has a 1.3-inch customizable OLED screen that can show info like charging status, microphone mute, and active profile. Or you can go the cosmetic route and show animations, text, and images. This Xbox- and Windows-ready peripheral is the first-licensed Xbox controller to get "tri-mode" connections, meaning you can use Bluetooth, RF, or USB-C. If you want to use it wirelessly, that's only available through the PC. Xbox support is only through USB.

ASUS ROG even amps its audio with an ESS DAC for its 3.5mm headset jack. As for gamepad controls, there's the familiar Xbox layout, four programmable rear buttons, sensitivity toggles, and similar commands. Top buttons let you switch profiles mid-play and trigger locks can limit the amount of travel. The ASUS Armoury Crate PC app lets you remap the buttons, adjust joystick sensitivity, and enable dead zones, vibrations, and other finer points. ASUS hasn't revealed pricing yet, but it's coming in the first quarter of the year.
