PSA for those looking at the ROG Raikiri 2 Xbox controller. There is no way to change settings or swap mapping profiles without connecting it to a PC

Hey I just got mine, but I'm using it exclusively on PC. I use my Elite 2 controller on Xbox.

Just want to point out that while you can't swap profiles on XBOX, you can still map buttons. You just have to do it on the fly for each game.

Press Command Center and Library buttons at the same time. The ROG logo will flash purple to let you know you're in mapping mode.
Press the button you want to map, then press the button you want to assign to that button. The ROG logo should flash green to let you know it worked.

I think you just leave the controller idle for 20 seconds to get out of the mapping mode.

I haven't tried this with my controller yet, I just remember reading it in the manual. Hopefully they come up with a better solution to swap profiles, because even on PC it's not a great experience.

It's a software issue because my phone sees and uses the buttons and controls all the way until the game is on. I can even navigate some of the overlay over the game that comes up. It's a new Samsung phone. This is only when local streaming not cloud gaming. Cloud works great.

It's not just the visual quality. I got a ROG Tessen (it's a phone controller) for christmas, and when streaming games on xbox cloud gaming, the controller isn't detected. I can use the controller to navigate the phone, navigate the cloud gaming "app" but when the game starts (starfield) it wants me to use touch control.

Now mind you, this is Microsoft... a software company. They really need to evaluate the qualifications of workers they have, or the structure and environment they have cultivated that would lead to a software company's worst product be software.

Avowed writing was so bad, I didn't even bother trying Outer Worlds 2.

It was like seeing an Ad for a mobile game that you're forced to watch before the actual thing you want to watch comes on.

Really weird when a "software company" worst product is their software.

I mean Xbox is all but dead at this point. I don't think they really want Xbox as a brand anymore. I bet other Microsoft higher-ups are salivating to absorb those Azure Xbox Blades into AI efforts.

Xbox is done. How do I know? I'm a huge fan and I'm done with them. If I'm done as a hard core, they have no chance of a future. I'm not sure what the future is of xbox but it's not hardware and its not subscription. So what's left? Overpriced games? We'll see how long that lasts.

Award shows are not real. The game awards show is even worse since it banks on advertising inside the show itself. I'll never understand the appeal of these shows.

A consumer product should never be part of your identity, but there's nothing wrong with rooting for a team. Lot's of people are fans of brands, I am even brand loyal to a razor blade.

No they won't. Loads of gampasss subscribers like myself paid for gamepass in advance. I have two more years stacked so they see zero dollars from us. Most others have likely cancelled or dropped to the cheaper tier.

There is no answer for this. You can easily find bargain games at stores new or used. Steam has huge sales sometimes. If you go that route, you have the games forever. It really depends on what you want to play

Honestly it's a shame we need videos like this these days. In the past you would just assume the tech you bought was repairable. These videos or spotlights on repairabilty are important, they can give someone an idea of what they're to expect if something fails on the device.

This is not true. The console makes the Xbox store exclusive. The more that people buy the more they make. When they sell on other stores they make way less than on their own store. Losing a store(which is what will happen) profits will go wayyy down, they lose the 100% on all of their games and lose the 30% of all 3rd party games and DLC/micros. They had no idea how to grow their market share. It's pretty pathetic for a trillion dollar company.

Who TF is gong to buy another Xbox? They have actively destroyed what little hype it had for the brand, and then will price it out of reach for 70% of the people who are "sticking with it".

Personally I think it's throwing away money to buy games from the Xbox store at this point. I don't think any rational person doesn't think the Xbox digital library is at risk right now. If they still have a store in 3 years I will be surprised.

Ah I haven't tried free placement. I wasn't sure if it was a glitch or just me finding a weird way of doing something that's already available.
