What do you mean the thumb sticks mimic the feel of a controller. What were the original thumb sticks doing?

[@drescythe1531]

They were very loose. Got used to mine but the joysticks feel like PS3 joysticks. Nothing like the PS5 and Xbox one sticks. It can be a very frustrating thing to deal with especially playing games like warzone or apex that rely on good aim.

[@SpuddGaming]

They’ve been stiffened to feel more like those on a controller. On the original Ally they felt a lot looser and didn’t feel the same as playing on a controller which could be annoying at times

I'm extremely hesitant on this. My ROG ally ruined two 1 tb sd cards and the games would constantly crash when i tried to launch them. I have not used it since my 2nd sd card failed. Tried using a sd card reader on my laptop and they're toast.
I've been using my legion go instead. Haven't had any issues with it. Just wish it was slightly smaller. I'd rather risk my money on the msi claw than another ally even if it's suposed to be a new and improved version.

[@nathanjuan6042]

The ally X has 1T SSD at the same time that is full sized ssd so any ssd that you use for laptop or pc is ok so no need for sd card. But it is up to you what you want. I have my ally for 6 months now I never use sd card that is why I don't know what the problem is. Anyways I am pretty happy with my ally and can play any game I throw at it at 1080p my only problem is that 512gb ssd is too small and the ally x solve that problem and that 24gb shared ram as well however, I'll just wait for the ally 2 for a newer processor insteaf of refresh. If they make the screen even larger decrease the bezels and put oled would be perfect.

[@lindatwala2977]

Thank you for your honesty

[@toonzelda3353]

Yeah same tbh. Have been hearing alot of issues about the sd cards failing on the Rog Ally. Havent had this issue whatsoever on my Steamdeck so will likely just stick with my LCD one for now.

[@Sefier85]

Not only did it destroy my SD, it also destroyed its own SD port. Nothing I place in there is recognized anymore

[@jessica49arrow]

No hate u can do what u want but I always wonder why do people need to play anything from the SD card? It's slow. People don't do that with gaming desktops and laptops but with the Ally everyone wants to put in an sd card 🤷

[@magonyt]

just wait until a tiny scratch appears

Then the screen breaks, you call up Asus and they somehow spot a microscopic scratch BEFORE a huge crack in the screen and charge £3000. I'm disappointed, ASUS. You're no longer one of my favourite companies.

But is it worth buying again. Yes I want black as white dirt magnet. Yes better battery. However only ram has changed no gpu upgrade and no one showing benchmarks in games. If any difference i assume its minor.

[@SpuddGaming]

There’s no benchmarks yet because these are early review units, not the final product so benchmarking wouldn’t be accurate yet. Benchmarks will come closer to release

[@nathanjuan6042]

SSD is 1Tb full sized M.2 2280. Easier to find, cheaper and can upgrade up to 4Tb as games are already too big.

[@kibatechwolf]

The switch 2 better be good

[@bennemans92]

It wouldn't be

[@toonzelda3353]

It doesnt matter what the Switch 2 does, at this point the Steamdeck and Rog Ally have already shown off the raw power, and customization. Whatever the Switch 2 does will need to have some impressive gimmick or power boost or it will flop and be another Wii U situation. The switch had a good thing going at first but many games now run very choppy sloppy and some even look horrible. Like I dont even mind it if the games are locked 30fps but if the game runs at a less resolution than its intended one eg 480p on a 720p display being the switch, thats just disgraceful. What makes it even more sad is that I am able to run the same game on my Steamdeck emulated but at a higher resolution. Nintendo would need to come up with something beyond impressive to get people to buy their next product. Perhaps Extended Reality (XR) or something.

[@bennemans92]

@@toonzelda3353 Yup exactly. You can even emulate a lot of switch games BETTER on the Ally/Legion Go than on the original hardware. If that is not a clear sign Nintendo hardware just sucks I don't know what isn't.

The Switch 2 will vastly outsell all of these because of its library and pricing. Simple as that.

@Spiderman so the colors and blacks will be slightly better etc. than the first ROG ally. Just pre ordered the X comes on the 22nd can't wait

[@paulsegrue5133]

To support Dolby Vision it would need to be a HDR display which it is not. This is the exact same display as the original Ally which isn't HDR. Maybe the confusing is that it supports Dolby Atmos with its front speakers. They do sound very good.

[@thediddlefiddler5569]

People complain about ASUS not upgrading the CPU or GPU but, I couldn't disagree more. Now developers have more time to push out optimization updates and really push this combo to the limits.
Look what happened to PS5/Series x: they prioritized pushing out new hardware and we're now nearly 7yrs later and the PS5 can STILL BARELY PUSH 60fps. ITS A JOKE. And people are already talking about a PS6. Um. How about we optimize the PS5, first before we start worrying about a PS6.
Same goes for the ROG Ally. Putting new CPU/GPU wont do any good if the optimization isn't there. We're already getting PS4 Pro level quality FROM A HANDHELD so, lets spend a couple more years optimizing the hardware we already have.
