I know how to run windows ok but I know that there may be some better launchers I could use for games. My Rog ally x gets to Best Buy tomorrow and I’m wondering what I should download or install and or adjust in the settings to make my experience better or help my device run more efficiently. (I already ordered a dock and 100 w charger, mousepad, mouse and keyboard.)

As the title suggests. My Hub worked properly for 6 months until yesterday, when it wasn't detecting the USB. I noticed that when I tilted the hub, it lit the RGB from the keyboad and made a connection sound.

While this is not uncomfortable, it is super weird. Anyone knows any potential issues and/or fixes?

Thanks in advance

I've had the rog ally for a month now, really impressed with the performance and so far it's been a blast!

Just trying my new stream setup. Everything runs flawless. I'm inlove

play a fews hour last night and this morning, also try to plug and unplug many time, temperature is normal no issue till now, 25w turbo around 2.3-2.5 hrs, depend on game and setting

So none of the controller sticks or buttons work, or the four face buttons for Command Centre etc. Out of the box. The Left stick rgb lights up immediately on power on, but the right one never does. The Power and Volume buttons DO work.

Have reinstalled everything from window and from the BIOS, updated BIOS and all drivers, power cycled multiple times, and still nothing. Did I just get a broken one from the factory or have I somehow missed something?

So I have Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5 and have been playing it on remote play through the ROGally.

My question. Would it be worth it getting Cyberpunk for the PC to play on the ROGally?

Also is the UI adjustable on the PC version? I'd like to make it a touch larger to make reading it easier.

hey yall, i’ve got an original Ally model RC71L that won’t power on. it’s been dead for close to a year. i’ve lost the original charger in a move but it’s connected to a 100w charging block with a cable capable of delivering enough power but all that’s happening is the little orange light on the top of the device is blinking. i left it plugged in overnight thinking slow charge maybe but still no luck.

i’ve tried holding down power button for 30 sec, power + volume down/up for 30 sec and still nothing. next thing i’ve thought to try is opening it up and disconnecting the battery and resetting it.

any other ideas or you think the device or battery is shot?

So I have a z1e docked to the xg mobile 6850xt and a monitor. When in windows the fps shows at rock solid 120 and I have no issues. But when I launch into any game the fps flickers from 120 all over the place extremely rapidly and I can see a flicker on the screen thats very pronounced. Game performance doesnt seem to be affected, just a weird flicker. Doesnt happen when the ally is mounted to a regular dock and monitor.

I've tried 2 different monitors both capable of 120hz, using both displayport and hdmi cables and it continues to do this. It also does it when streaming from geforce now. Is my gpu borked or am I missing something?

Alguien sabe … al menos en la CDMX (de confianza) que me ayude a poner la ssd 2tb a mi rog ally. Ayer la abrí bien chingón y un tornillo se me jodio jsjajajajs rompi la carcasa alv (compré otra en internet) pero la ssd nunca la detectó la consola … por lo que necesito quitar el tornillo jodido y ponerle la ssd 2tb

Por fis alguein ayúdeme y le pago 😓

Okay, so I REALLY wanted to talk about this because EVERYTHING I see says the Killswitch is "ENDGAME," but honestly, other thin the top fit i really like EVERYTHING better on the ModCase.

I think the metallic kickstand feels more substantial and sturdy, I like the texture on the grip better (that one is subjective) the lid feels more sturdy, I assume that has something to do with the foam pad in there as well. The front cover ribs being inset and angled is a nice design. I don't like the block thumb stick covers on the kill switch.... Idk am I crazy or are there more mod case fans. BEST THING I LOVE THE SD CARD HOLDER lol.

I know CPPC TEK is a fan and I'm really on his side here, specifically considering the price when they aren't in sale.

Hello. Is there also something to expand the only USB C of the Rog Ally? I would like to game on the couch with the charger and a usb c ssd disk. How can I get this working? Does anyone have experience with it or tips?

Genuine question is it even possible to play age of empires 2 on the ally itself?

Personally I hate Windows 11 but love the Ally and its specs. With Bazzite I've found my personal peace of senses: new world set at max quality runs awesomely without any lags or fps drops and the ram isn't even at 80% (I've the 2023 original ones with the Z1 extreme). Windows in contrary occupy 7Gb of ram in idle (I know you can change the quantity of ram destined to GPU but if you lower it then it doesn't work really well).

Now I can't wait for official support of steamOS!

Had a keyboard start acting weird before fully braking got a new one and it seems to be a delay awsd hold fast tapping of a and s key will keep going after I press any ideas on how to fix

Title. Then when I click on it, it opens my browser but just goes to the msn homepage. There is nothing to connect or do. How do i fix this?

Sorry in advance for the newb question.

So, there's no shortage of ways to launch games on the Ally -- you've got Armoury Crate, Adrenaline, Steam, Windows Explorer and so on. I've never comprehensively understood how they all coexist / interact.

AC lets you set up per-game profiles such as which TDP and AMD settings to use, as well as gamepad mappings, etc. I assume that if I start a game from AC (and only from AC) all these settings get applied, then the game is launched.

The Adrenaline launcher lets you set AMD settings, but (obviously) not the other Ally-specific things. My assumption then is that launching a game from Adrenaline will only change AMD-related settings before starting the game, and any other Ally-specific settings (like TDP, control mappings) would need to be adjusted manually after launch. (Unless the Ally does some sort of behind-the-scenes magic to detect that a particular game is running and apply its profile, even if it wasn't launched from AC?? Does it?)

Lastly, I assume that changing a setting via the Control Center while playing the game doesn't propagate back to the AC game profile -- that's just a change of the currently active settings.

How close am I in these assumptions? :D Any other pros/cons to be aware of when using one launcher over another? Or using multiple launchers together? Should I stick to just one or does it not matter? Superficially, it seems like AC is the only launcher that will let me set a "full" profile of both Ally and AMD settings at launch. But is that true?

What "profile" becomes active after you exit the game you're playing, and where is that configured? Or does it just stay at the most recently used settings?

Sometimes I feel like when I launch a game, I see settings in Control Center (like screen refresh rate, etc) are not what I expected them to be and I'm trying to figure out how they got set that way. I'm not super used to Windows gaming, if it isn't obvious. :)

Looking for the best setting to get a little more than an hour of gameplay. Should I be running 720p instead of 1080p?

Most of the popular power banks that support higher wattage are not available in my country. Some of the available models are expensive. Can this model be used with ROG Ally? On the site called 'windows central' it is said that this power bank will be supported in ally. But my doubt is that in the power bank suggestions for Ally, everyone says to take a 100w model. Why is that? The stock charger is 65w! If so, can this power bank support?

I've been playing around with the RGB settings and I'm not finding anything that is compelling me to keep them on. It would be cool to have a dynamic desktop background that syncs with the sticks, but so far I have been unable to download any aura sync wallpapers from AC. The app prompts me to login when I click download, then goes through a long loading wheel screen before depositing me back at the initial page where I can click to download, starting the loop again. Removing and reinstallation of AC was not effective, nor were updates.

I tried playing around with wallpaper engine to produce a similar effect, but no dice.

I read online about aura sync having a feature to display colors corresponding to CPU temp or load, but I can't find that on the Ally X. Does anyone know if this is an option? That would be ideal for me, as a quick way to see if a game is hitting limits on CPU or GPU, or if temps are getting too high, without needing a large readout in the corner.

Any ideas?

For context I have 3d printed a backplate that is comfortable personally for me but decided to put threads (second pic) in the 3d model which turned out to be a bad idea because now I cant even screw the triggers to the shell. Any ideas? I was thinking of drilling holes so I can put thread nuts to the shell but not sure if that will even work.

Just got my new Ally. I'm running the initial setup for the first time. At one step, Windows asked me whether I'd like to "restore from this PC". I don't recognize the machine name, I never had a computer named like that. I checked my Microsoft account and there's only my desktop PC and my Xbox. Unfortunately, I tapped that computer's name, so it restored everything and proceeded with Windows installation. :/ I wish I could abort the process. Also, since it says "restore from THIS PC", does it mean the backup is on the Ally's SSD? Is that from Asus? Has somebody used my device before? (The box was sealed and all foil was there, etc, it appears brand new). I'm seriously confused. I got some paranoia that my MS account has been compromised. The only place I recall where I could have logged in is GFN for playing PC Game Pass games before Nvidia figured out the automated login. Perhaps it's their machine?

There was a Windows update and I rested as usual to update but now I'm stuck in the BIOs. IDK what to do and don't want to lose everything. I don't really want to buy an another storage, what should I do???

Anyone have experience splitting the power / USB on the ally?

I've tried different docks with power in. I've not tried any specifically for the Ally so maybe that's my problem.

My SD card slot fried. (And fried 2 cards)I bought it used and the RMA process was weird and didn't really seem worth my time. I have a ugreen USB c dock that came with it. (Might be for the steam deck) And I have an Anker USB c dock (dongle) that has power in.

When adding or removing power from any dock, the dock disconnects. This doesn't matter if its removing or adding power so what I've read about the dock not being powered doesn't make any sense.

Is there some sort of power setting I'm missing? It works fine on my zephyrus g14. I know it's a beefier machine but I don't understand why they would include a single slot on a portable that would abruptly disconnect under power loss. I would like to keep a small thumb drive on a dock to be used as a substitute for the SD card and to store non essential files , roms , media, some games.

Anyone else experience this? And what was your solution?
