Root Successfully Rooted after update 8.6.5.21

Wanted to root my transformer and use my PS3 controller on it but updated before reading that the new update stopped Razorclaw's one click update. Had a look around the different forums and found this method that still works with the new update.

ASUS Transformer Root ToolKit V7.1 Universal (Windows) | 2011-09-22 - Page 103 - xda-developers

Rooted first time and am just deciding (any suggestions) which custom rom to install on my transformer pad while i wait for ICS

+1 I also used this same method Christmas day after updating to the latest .21 firmware on my B50KAS TF101G. The latest universal root method for all Transformers NachoRoot by jcase found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21023156&postcount=1 is currently working on ALL hardware revisions on the Eee Pad Transformer & Transformer Prime.

Just noticed there's an OTA rootkeeper from that link.

That makes things interesting. I'll need to do some investigating when I finish this set of shifts.

Yes, I have it installed & my root access backed up. We'll see how it does come ICS OTA update time, but they say it works well. And it's free, which is even better!

+1. I have a B40 and this method worked perfectly for me too.

What is the benefits to rooting?

I just got my transformer 16gb yesterday. Right when i turned it on it upgraded to this 3.6.5.21
What is the easiest way to root? In fact i'm not sure if i can do it, i know the computer but i am brand new to the tablet.
Is it that hard? Any good easy follow a long instructions?

Thanks
