The new controller will have a built-inOLED display and a host of other features. There is a small 1.3-inch display above the Xbox button that will display custom animations, microphone status, and more.

The display has a 128 x 40 resolution and will mostly be used for swapping profiles during games. The custom animations remind me of the display that replaced the "jewel" on the Duke controller in the summer of 2018?

There are two buttons at the top of the Raikiri Pro that can be used to switch controller profiles during games. Four rear buttons and a circular D-pad are included.

This is the first controller with three modes of communication. There is a low-latency 2.4 GHz RF mode and wiredUSB-C. The Raikiri Pro is a pro PC controller that can be used on the Xbox Series X and S consoles. Many of the pro features will only work on the computer.

The Raikiri Pro has a built-in microphone, a 3.5mm jack, and a button to turn it off. The pricing and release date for the Raikiri Pro are unknown. It will be available in the first quarter.

Who is going to run on it?
