how it's _not_ great to *see* that they not only release an unfinished product, they lied and lied the entire way through it. How are they so far off from the real 7850U handhelds after so much time? Scamming, lying thieves is what they are!
Big props for the Asus ROG crew for following up and supporting this handheld so much and interacting with the community like this so openly. And for seriously and quickly acknowledging bugs and issues that have arisen both prelaunch and post launch. Quick question, and it’s probably a no, but is there currently any way to get Armory Crate SE to remember your sorting selection and just go back to the last selected sorting when you reboot? Needing to keep changing the sorting every time is kinda tedious.
Thank you for doing this. Hopefully the community appreciates and supports ROG so they can continue to make great products and challenge the competition.
thank you for doing what? Damage control for their own ass? "Great products"????? How is an unfinished piece of garbage that cannot even compete with smaller companies a "great product"???? 😂😂😂 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Appreciate you guys for right away commenting on the deadzone issues…I was real surprised going into AC and seeing the zero deadzone setting active. Thanks Whitson man for responding on discord
yeah, something they should have done _before_ they started asking for people's money, and _before_ they release it. They had multiple chances, and a whole lot of time. They have 2 weeks before just about everyone I personally know returns theirs to Best Buy - and I know a *ton* of people in my group who got it and feels the same; as it is, it's a piece of garbage, plain and simple.
we really need more streams like this now that more and more people are buying the device : some in depth amd graphics customisation, some windows optimisation for gaming , some news on the things you are still fixing and so on
Thank you for working that BIOS update . I have both a SD and ALLY now. So far I’ll be honest, I’m enjoying my SD more but I know with more updates my opinion will change . So thank you !!
Got mine day one and I haven't got a chance to even start playing lol...my goal was to upgrade the m.2 ..still discovering everything glad I ran across this for the tips and will keep following
I just got mine on drop and I am enjoying it very much after I figure everything out and watched a couple videos on it but I’m really happy to hear that there is going to be support of this device keep up the hard work guys !!
Awesome video! This definitely is very encouraging to see videos like this from you guys. Hope to see more in the future and continued support of the ROG Ally like this!
Thank you for an easy to follow instructional video for a senior. I have just purchased my ROG Ally and haven’t used windows software for a very very long time. I bought this mainly for gaming. I did find this new device a bit challenging in setting up in some areas. I don’t even know how to save the progress of my installed game yet because it’s so different to a Switch.
This is my first jump into any sort of gaming PC at all (I’ve been wanting one but haven’t wanted to break the bank and haven’t wanted something super complicated), and I’m so happy to have made the jump for a product/brand that seems to value transparency, communication, and improvement. Happy to be here, loving my Ally, and can’t wait to see how much better it gets.
So I’ve been a console gamer my whole life and just found out about the ROG ally from my cousin just this week. I barely ever touched anything PC related. I ended up buying my own and I’m having a great time with it
I'm so glad I watch this video because I did not realize that the power button was a fingerprint reader and was able to do a complete factory reset before I fixed everything and cut out a piece of grip tape from pulsar to match the button to cover it and block that sensor
got mine delivered yesterday PM, fiddled with it for few hours. Froze on me a couple times, however, enjoying Killing Floor while in my bed was priceless.
Thank you for this! Super useful ❤ One thing i really hope you can change in the future armoury Crete. For Japanese gamers, we use abxy in the Nintendo style. I know we can change the binding of abxy buttons for game,but we can't change which button to be used for confirmation in armourt crate. So whenever i need to make changes in armoury Crete, i will find myself clicking the cancel button for confirmation.
You don't have to disable embedded controller, if you have another controller connected. Just go into your game controller settings and select a "preferred controller". That worked for me.
Huge shoutout to the ASUS crew for their massive support since it was announced. Especially Whitson for being super active in the Discord, helping the community etc. 🎉
I've had a couple of hiccups with mine, but so far, it's almost what I expected! I knew it was a portable PC, but I thought there'd be more of a focus on it being a gaming handheld that can be a PC and not a PC trying to be a gaming handheld. I definitely do not regret my purchase and I'm excited to be part of it! I started a tech channel because I wanted a Steam Deck, but I'm so happy with my Ally! I would still like a Steam Deck, but the Ally is worth every penny ❤
Thanks so much for this!! I have an issue with the touch screen constantly stops working? Not sure what I'm doing wrong I have the bios up to date but it just keeps breaking
Integrate gyro into the controls so that we can map it for aiming and such. The Aya neo 2s is the only Windows handheld I've seen integrate it natively
I don't think that's a priority my dude, since people are literally experiencing performance decrease due to latest updates. Hopefully they add everything needed eventually.
@@kacketnaopacke Perhaps so. After they fix these performance issues, i'd love to see it be a priority, it's an incredible game changer to have good gyro
19:06 I think its showing 15W because you haven't clicked on apply yet so your manual mode is showing 15W On mine I've got it set to 30W and it definitely says 30W on my manual mode Love these vids by the way, been using it as a reference when tinkering with my Ally :)
I’d like to see the Command Centre be a mappable button please! Can’t access it via an external controller. Also I’d like the mouse to become available when an annoying dialog window pops up on some games asking if I’d like to start in safe mode or adjust settings so I can dismiss it without undocking please. Or make it dismissible via the controller when docked. If the community has any ideas on how I can fix all this myself other than “just get up and press the button” I’d appreciate it please.
18:40 there are some bugs in the manual mode profile. I created 3 different manual profiles which are 25W, 20W and 15W, each has all the power settings set at the same value. If I switch from 25W to 20W or 15W, many times the lower power profiles would have one or two power settings remain at the higher settings rather than my set value.
This is perfect this is exactly what people need . Liek they should of just automatically opened this video when u girst start ur rog ally so u know exactly everything
Thanks for the tips, will the gaming charging dock be coming to Australia soon or will I have to buy the one with the USA plug and use and AUD adapter?
Thanks for acknowledging the deadzone issues and glad to hear it is being looked at for a fix the inner and outer zones are definitely out from my testing and give a really fast acceleration curve because of that reduced shape making esports games hard to controll with precision
Awesome device I'm loving how easy you made it to use. I have one question, is there a way to recalibrate the joysticks to possibly get a smaller overshoot rate on joysticks? I'm seeing about 8% overshoot on the left joystick and 11% on the right.
I did an update on July 13th and my dock no longer works! I can’t play on my monitor because it’s not getting signal, worked beautifully before updating. Please fix this, I only bought this for use with my monitor.
Love the rog ally ! You said something about 3 months game pass . I have game pass ultimate. When I signed into it didn't give me a option for 3 months
I was lucky and got the last Ally at my local Best Buy today. Loving the device so far. I noticed some of the buttons dont work on the Playstation remote play app. Any fix?
Will there ever be an option to access multiple "manual" operating modes via the command center tab? Due to the current bug where it shows 15W, I am uncertain if this is an available feature. If not, then I think it would be a great inclusion! Loving the device so far and I am excited for the bios fix so I can get better frames in diablo 4.
please let us organize games in armory crate. Kind of like how you can move apps around like on an iphone. I find myself going to steam often because you can make collections there.
Can we please get gyro software already? I want to assign 1 of the macros to hold to activate gyro. It works great ony steam controller, and I really NEED it here on Ally for the games I play. Gyro was one of the primary reasons I pre-ordered the Ally. Without it, I wouldn't have bothered as I already have a GPD Win Max 2. Now I'm kinda disappointed that I can't use the peice of hardware that I know is in there, that pretty much sold me on the device
Great work! Couple of notes, I’m seeing Diablo IV guides all over. I’m also seeing that 319 is causing issues. I found that windows set the performance to balanced instead of full on performance in the power settings after 319. I wonder if that solves some issues. Regarding DIV, I’ve got it running perfectly
Is it possible to buy an extension cable for the xg mobile? It would be cool to be able to use it without an external monitor. I don't want to constantly pull it by accident while i am playing
I would really love to have a more granular control of the stick RGB brightness 33% is still too bright for me at night playing, I like have the light but want it dimmer so maybe can we get a 15% option or maybe option to change it to steps of 5% increments
For warzone for some reason when I play I can only move forward on the analog sticks and can't look left or right or up or down on the left analog sticks
So I've had a chance to play around with the ROG ALLY for about a week now and here's what I can tell you from a consumer's perspective Don't get me wrong its not all bad but its not all good either and thats what I'm here to talk about. I'm going to list the things I like about it first. 1. The performance of this handheld is incredible. From AAA titles to emulation. 2. The screen is beautiful and makes gaming on a handheld worth leaving your big screen either just to game on the couch or on to go. 3. This one might be more of a preference but the fingerprint sensor saves me time from a password or pin login every time put down and pick up my device. 4. The RGB lighting is really cool to look at especially when docked. 5. I like the fact I don't need a third party software to play non steam games or emulators the game pad just works. 6. The easy SSD replacement and bios cloud recovery process is great. 7. Dedicated button for quick access to settings like TPD/ Power Wattage, Airplane mode and switching on/off fps stats 8. The fans are quiet Now let's move on to some of the thing I personally don't like about it. 1. The battery - I would have gladly traded a little extra weight for a bigger battery instead. 2. I don't like the fact the bumper and trigger buttons are even on the top, I found myself repeatedly mistakenly pressing trigger instead the bumper as they are hard to distinguish between the two. 3. Updates - now I don't mind them but there have been times when I'm gaming away from an outlet and for some or most updates it won't let you do so on battery alone and requires you to plug in. I wouldn't mind if it detected 10 to 20 percent battery and then required it but I was well over 70% 4. The rear buttons to me seems more out of placed and annoying than useful as I don't use them. 5. The grips on the side could've had a bit more of a curve to it making it feel more comfortable to hold. 6. The screen could have been brighter for outdoor use which is it's purpose. 7. Navigation, I wish this thing had track pads like the steam deck as the joystick mouse is wonky and hardly accurate on a small screen. 8. The cheap ass paper stand that came with the device, might as well have sent nothing lol but it serves its purpose. 9. Proprietary eGPU - this one I really dislike, the fact that after paying almost a thousand bucks on the device although it's just an option, you want us to pay a ridiculous price for XG mobile eGPUs instead of being able to use our own. That sucks! 10. I don't like the microphones on on any handheld as I highly doubt I'd be doing much multi-player gaming on it and If I did a gaming headset would do just fine as it would be far superior. To me it just boarders privacy concerns. 11. Full blown windows - I just hope with all the handhelds coming out with windows installed that they make a dedicated windows specifically for handheld gaming devices. I would love to see a replacement back cover with lower trigger buttons to distinguish between LB/RB buttons Now would I recommend the ALLY? The short answer is yes If you're into picking it up and just gaming with no tinkering I would say try it anyway and you just might like it.
In the the division 2 the m1 m2 back buttons I set primary to left & right bumper but in game its backwards u have to set right bumper primary to left m1 button & left bumper to right & in game it works properly & it only works on gamepad mode not on auto
Thumbs up for Asus team for monitoring ally.
