Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓This guide shows how to replace the RGB lights in a ASUS ROG Raikiri Pro controller. This controller does come with a customizable LED display, but it does not necessarily affect anything directly to how well the controller works. If you were to leave your controller on or somehow broke it and the lights were not coming on, replacing the RGB lights is your best option.
Since this guide will include the removal of the controller battery and if you realize that you have a swollen battery, please handle it accordingly before moving forward.
Before you begin the repair, make sure the controller is off and disconnected from the charging cord.
