I started noticing from the comments that a lot of people may be coming to this device from the Xbox or PS5 which I why I made the video. If there are other things you want more info on let me know and I'll try to make some more videos.
Thank you so much for your video! You were so helpful and detailed, even I could understand what you went over! Could you please make a video showing how to map the buttons to play a mouse and keyboard game, that would be very helpful too. Thanks!
Couple things to add, keep 120hz on for variable refresh rate, if you change it 60, it turns off vrr. If you want a locked 60, keep the 120 on but in game settings you can change to 60 if you want, or unlock it to use the vrr. Also the 1080/720 toggle is just the system resolution, npt the game resolution, you still have to change game resolution if you want lower resolution.
Do you know how to map the Xbox button to the rog? I thought it was the Xbox button from the action category but that brings the game bar. When navigating big screen on steam, I was hoping to add a shortcut to quickly access the menu and quick settings but wasn’t able to figure it out. Anyone have an idea? Thanks!
I had the same issue. Even though I mapped the Xbox button, which it shows in Steam. I could not get it to work. If I can get it going, I will add a comment for you.
I don’t have a question about settings or setup or anything. My problem is that I live on the west coast but when I pick “set time automatically” it sets it to east coast time. I’ve tried setting it up manually but it always gets set back on its own if I update something
Great video. I want to use the Ally to play simple games on the go and triple A games docked. Can you show how good games plays AAA GAMES docked on a TV or monitor? (Not docked with the external GPU). I want to see if I can at least get 1080p 60fps on games like Spider-Man or GOW. That's what's keeping me in the fence. Also I'm not a PC gamer, yet
I have one and when plugged in running turbo playing diablo 4 I am getting a smooth 60fps at 1080p using fsr2.0 with pretty high graphics settings. When I tried god of war I think it was in the 50s for 1080p low settings but it really did feel good with whatever magic they do for the frame smoothing
I also noticed two docks I use for the Steam Deck will not allow full turbo performance even while using the asus power adapter. I may need to find a new dock to get full performance.
its not that good for playing 1080p on a external monitor its more for gaming on the go and in the 7" screen most AAA games will not perform very well with out a external gpu.
What you are saying in this comment makes it seem like you may not be playing in fullscreen mode. When you are in a game, go to video settings and make sure it says Fullscreen or Fullscreen Windowed. It should not say Windowed.
Great stuff! Thanks! 2 questions. 1- how to have Crate NOT start on boot? And next I'm playing Fallout 4 when docked so no battery issues and I have all the updates current. My speaker is continually scratchy while playing... Any tips? Thanks! :)
Asus mentioned the speaker issues before and they seemed to be related to low power modes. I will figure out the crate app question for you soon. Could be worth a video for others.
I got myself a 112 wattage charger, but I only get 25w when docked? Is there anything on settings that lets us output the 30w? Edit: I'm using the Jsaux dock
Thx for the review. Honestly I'm a little shocked.I was looking at the batterie for the whole video. And the ally lost 10% of Batterie life while staying on the menu😨
Unfortunately no. I have a JSAUX dock, an Anker dock, and a 100W Anker charger. All 3 of them say they don't have enough power to run plugged in at 30W. If I can find one, I might buy it and make a review video.
@@RypperGaming it doesn't seem to matter if im plugged in or not. I wanted to change the 4gb ram to 8 but i don't have the gpu settings under system usage
That is strange, but most likely related to the Bios or Armory Crate software. I would try to update both and see if you have the option. I am considering doing a video showing performance difference between all the options. I would warn against going up to 8 because that will lower your system ram for Windows to 8 also.
I may end up doing a video on adjusting the controller settings. This game mentions partial controller support. Did you try switching to controller mode? Does it do anything at all in that mode?
@Rypper Gaming in I don't think so and I tried to swipe up and go to Bluetooth settings and connect an Xbox controller which is how I'd prefer and dock it to my TV like a Nintendo switch
@RypperGaming Have you figured out how to get aim assist to work on first person shooters call of duty runs good but aim assist doesn't work. Only when i hook up a xbox controller
I'm at work 😢 and I'm getting mine delivered today thanks for this video i can't wait until i get home
Finally someone who cares about us first time PC players 🙏🏼

Nice explanation, dude. Ust got my ROG Ally, and and this is what I was looking for. Thanks!

Great breakdown thanks for this
It’s great to see the army crate working so well and make setting simple and easy.
Greatly appreciated the setting education !
Thank you for this video, this helps a lot
are you getting turbo mode to work on that JSAudio dock? I have 100w charger connected to it but no turbo mode on the Ally when running through dock.
It should be working. I was measuring it with amperimeter and was taking out 78 watts i ally express dock. Manual max at 35w
Thank you this was very helpful, especially the key mapping segment.
This was so helpful 😊thank you
Thanks 4 this informative video.
Thanks for this video. Please make more Asus Rog Ally videos.
Manual mode 18tdp and fan on high. Sweet spot 😊
That is a good option for lots of games. Some people will just choose to use the built in options though so that's what I try to focus on.
Great video! Need more like this on the UA-cam. Especially with the Asus Rog Ally having a very rough launch. 😠

Thanks for the tips! This is technically my fist gaming pc (if this counts) so I have no idea what I’m doing. It’s all pretty straight forward so far!
This definitely counts as a gaming pc! Add in a KB, Mouse, and 27 inch 1080P monitor and you have a whole desktop!
Hi ! do you know how to remove the upper line when you’re playing any game and the line with the _ and X stay there how can I remove it ?

Someone needs to make a video on the slow download speeds of games . FH5 is the only one that’s downloaded at over 5mbps .
My performance Overlay isnt working. Shows a transparent box. Forced to use AMD overlay atm.
Watching this on my Ally. :D
Congrats!
Lol ty :D
Hey did you have a link to the setup of manual mode for the 18w ? Wanted to try it thanks
I couldn't find a good one...doesn't mean it doesn't exist though. But I just made one and will upload it.
@@RypperGaming Thank you I’m looking forward to watching it
asus rog ally z1 extreme Bios lock device off
What is the solution to the problem?
I got myself a 112 wattage charger, but I only get 25w when docked? Is there anything on settings that lets us output the 30w?
Edit: I'm using the Jsaux dock
I have the same issue with a 100W charger. I am not sure if there is a fix for it yet.
@@RypperGaming I hope this could just be fixed with an easy software update
HI is there a Setting on the Rog Ally where I can use the thumb sticks or D Pad to navigate the Keyboard instead of touching the screen ???????
I have tried several ways and I can't find a way to enable it. This should just be a software update for Asus though, so hopefully they add it soon.
@@RypperGaming Ok ,thanks for trying, I will Annoy Asus until they fix the Issue 👍👍👍👍
Thx for the review. Honestly I'm a little shocked.I was looking at the batterie for the whole video. And the ally lost 10% of Batterie life while staying on the menu😨
Keep in mind, his brightness is 100% in the video. (Makes sense for recording).
@@XanderBroeffle Yeah...but 10% in 20 minutes. I wonder how much you lose when you play a game
@@henryschurulo4295 you don’t game at full brightness then
You’re wrong. Turbo mode is 30w. But the dock/cable you are using is limiting your performance.
We are both right. Turbo mode on battery, which I used in the video is 25W. Turbo mode plugged in is 30W.
@@RypperGaming any dock you know allows to get those 30w? I haven’t found any yet
Unfortunately no. I have a JSAUX dock, an Anker dock, and a 100W Anker charger. All 3 of them say they don't have enough power to run plugged in at 30W. If I can find one, I might buy it and make a review video.
This is a great video. Every Ally owner should watch this. Thanks
What website do you download call of duty?
You can get it from the Battle.net website. Download battle.net, make an account, and you can then buy games from them. CoD is one they own.
Why don't I have the GPU settings in system usage?
Some of them do not show while plugged in. If you are talking about something else, let me know.
@@RypperGaming it doesn't seem to matter if im plugged in or not. I wanted to change the 4gb ram to 8 but i don't have the gpu settings under system usage

For some reason my real-time monitor is blank? Can you help me out?
Did you ever get it on or is this your first try? My friend had to plug his in and try several times by holding the power button till it came on.
@Rypper Gaming no it never worked just shows the dark square blank
Did you try resetting or reinstalling the armoury crate software?
@Jesse Villanueva just tried this and still doesn't display my info however when I have it charging I can see the yellow thunderbolt
Mine stopped working after a series of updates. Reddit says uninstall/reinstall Armaury crate fixes it. I'm too novice to figure that out on my own.
Nails look good. ;)
I can see the battery drain just touching the settings...
Hasn’t been a day and man has half his screen covered in icons 😂💀
I didn't put a 2tb drive in there for nothing!
For WARRIORS: Rise to Glory is this stupid STEAM game I enjoy .... the controls don't work and idk how to get it to run right
