I have the Jsaux ally modcase and I have been looking for a way to attach a second screen/phone without buying adapters for Mechanism or 3d printing an adapter so it can fit the Ally X case attachments. I also didn't think putting one of those rings for magsafe would stay very well. I had some Smallrig cold shoes and a phone holder so I figured I would try it out. It works pretty well and has an added bonus of being a better kick stand.

Probably overkill and a little extra but I like it.

So I plugged my Ally and the glass around those 2 buttons and below them gets hot but It doesn't turn on..I don't get any lights either when I plug it in. I tried the power cycle a few times but no luck 😔. Now what?

This was one of those little things that started bothering me more and more the bigger the library got 😅

FlowDeck now has per-carousel visibility, so you can decide exactly what actually shows up on Home.

You can hide things like All Games, Ready to Install or individual library carousels, go back to Home, and the change is there immediately — no restart needed.

And if you change your mind, just turn it back on and it comes right back.

It sounds small, but it makes the whole Home screen feel a lot more personal once you have several libraries connected.

Everything shown here is part of Flow Deck Community and is free.

If you want to try it:

We also have our own community now:

As always, if you try it on your Ally, tell me what feels good and what still gets in the way.

As the title say, recently bought a jsaux dock since i thought my ugreen dock is the problem, but upon trying usb ports of the dock is not detecting my mouse and 2.4 controllers, do i need a 100w power adaptor for this? Only the hdmi port is working on both docks. Tia

I have a Rog ally z1e and installed bazzite on it right as i got it and has been going great!

Until right now

The sound from my rog ally was working just fine a few hours ago, turned it on just now to find that there is no sound coming from ui or sounds from desktop mode.

I assumed it was because of decky loader since I had just installed it after closing it before hand. So I unistalled it and restarted it all over again. But still no sound.

It works with bluetooth headphones though. But the rog ally handheld speakers are no longer an option as they used to be before.

Please! And thank you

In the past I have owned a Steam Deck, with the few games I owned it ran quite well but there were two games I tried that were labelled as "playable" but when I installed them and started them they didn't work (I remember one asked to log in with your email and it just didn't work when you tried to do it, nothing happened when you touched/clicked the button on the screen, with another one you had to touch some buttons on the handheld to start the game and it didn't work either) and even after looking up for solutions online I wasn't able to resolve the issues. These issues made me worried about buying any other game that was labelled as "playable" since I wondered if I would've wasted money for nothing, and unfortunately most of my wishlist was "playable" 😭 so eventually I ended up solding my Steam Deck.

Recently I've been thinking of buying a new PC handheld again since there are some games I want that aren't on my Switch 2, I've been reading about the ROG Ally X and how it should have a better compatibility with games because of Windows and so I'm thinking of buying it.

Do you think it's a good idea? Does it actually have a wider compatibility? Maybe there's something I should know before taking it?

Btw I'm probably gonna take it second hand.

My ROG ally x has a problem and its that utility bios cant detect its battery and whenever I plug it in, the light turns off after a a couple of seconds. How do I fix this?

So I am looking into getting an ally for windows 11 essentially. I have a steam machine (console peasantries, idk) and want to try and have it stream the multiplayer games I need windows 11 for because of anticheat. I know I can potentially find a decent model that can run Marathon and Escape from Tarkov. Honestly escape more than anything. I have a ps5 pro (console peasantries, idk) so I can play Battlefield, Marathon, Destiny, etc. I just want to play Escape from Tarkov. Lol I mean the devs did say they would make a console version. But I also wouldn't mind migrating off of PlayStation in spirit of the transition to digital only instead of being spiteful about something they were always licensing even when it was on the disc. Either way. Couch gamer console peasant. Had the capacity to get a steam machine to get into PC gaming. Love it. Falling down the rabbit hole slowly and don't want to commit to a build just yet because I do have a ps5 pro and I would want to have my build be as small form factor as I could. So I could use it in my living room. Just tinkering with rog setups I could do (and potentially find a good ally second hand or on a sale) for the time being until I pursue my next piece of hardware.

Update: meant the ROG Xbox Ally X

Would primarily use it for emulation and playing single player Xbox One/Series X Games.

It’s a really pricey console so I want to make sure it’s really worth it.

I would primarily emulate Gamecube games, but would also love to emulate Xbox 360, PS2, Dreamcast, N64, Super Nintendo, Arcade, SNES, Gameboy, DS.

For Series X Games I’d love to play games like Fallout 4, maybe mortal kombat red dead 2 or the Jedi games.

For the price tag I’m really looking to play these games flawlessly with no lag. I own all these games and their native consoles so the selling point is to be able to bring them with me when I travel or play them in any room in the house, and just pick up from where I left off. I’d love to emulate a lot of old sports games, I know they can be trickier at times.

If they play laggy I’d rather save the money and just play them on their consoles.

The only online multiplayer game I’d really be interested in is Battlefront 2, I’ve always wanted to play the 2018 version with mods but never had a capable pc.

Would also consider getting it used but idk how trustworthy a used one is idk a whole lot about these consoles.

Amigos saben cómo puedo conectar un teclado y un mouse alambricos a mi rog Ally , tengo un adaptador pero cuando los conecto solo funciona o el teclado o el mouse.

My ally (not extreme) has been doing this lately. It struggles to run games, lags, struggles to open FUCKING SETTINGS APP. I can’t even run a simple ass game like Roblox. Still has 100gb of storage unused. Already reset multiple times. I dunno what to do right now its frozen on fisch (Roblox) running on 1 fps

I rarely use it anymore, it has a 2tb ssd and the 70wh battery upgrade but im not too sure where to list it or price it.

Ebay says its above my sell limit, im in the UK tryna sell it for 350-375

Please give me advice on what i should do.

It’s been like that for like an hour, what should i do?

Hey everyone,

I’m the developer behind GCM — some of you might remember me from before.

Today I’d like to introduce you to Orbit, a new launcher that runs on the ROG Ally and also works with Xbox Full Screen Experience / Xbox Mode.

We’re still relatively early in development, but Orbit already has quite a few features. One thing that makes it different is that it’s built using a different technology stack instead of the usual C#-based approach you see in many Windows launchers.

And before the comments start: yes, I use AI as part of my development workflow. No, that doesn’t mean the project is just AI-generated code. I’ve been a software developer for around 15 years, I use AI intentionally as a tool, and every piece of code that gets merged into Orbit is reviewed by me.

I think Orbit has a lot of potential, and my goal is to turn it into a true next-generation launcher.

Some of the things I want to bring to Orbit include:

• Proper Discord integration
• User profiles and social features
• Apps like YouTube, Netflix and more directly inside the experience
• Custom themes
• Deep customization
• A UI designed specifically for handhelds and controller navigation

The idea behind Orbit is simple:

Orbit should adapt to you — not the other way around.

If you have a ROG Ally, feel free to give it a try and let us know what you think.

I’d especially love to hear what features you would like to see on the Ally and what would make Orbit your ideal handheld launcher.

Feedback, ideas and bug reports are always welcome. 🚀

Just got in an Xbox Ally X for my son’s 10th birthday. Yes, I know that’s a hell of a gift for a 10year old, but he is a techie by nature and specifically asked for one (he’s high functioning autistic and never asks for stuff).

He specifically wants to play Rock League while traveling/on one account between houses(split custody)

What are some setup recommendations beyond the typical updates?

Edit: I did not take into account the joy of setting up a new PC/device. I was just trying to avoid the 3+hr update I know will happen at start up. I guess we will start the process together on his birthday and I’ll finish it up when he gets bored and moves on to playing beat saber.

TYIA

I just recently got a rog xbox ally x

So far loving it. Run mos tthe time at 15w with no issue. Battery's a beast screen is almost not noticable, immersion is great just slightly . I deal with eye problems, the non oled actually i think is causing problems. Everything else i use at this close is an oled for the reason of my eye problems. Its still within the return period.

It would cost me 150 more to upgrade (best buy discounts)

Is it it worth it to do?

I think so. Just trying to rationalize it internally lol.

I struggle spending for fun stuff on myself.

For background I am chronically ill and go to the hospital alot for diffrent tests and the like. As well as deal with an unknown disease that is slowly eating my spine.

Help me rationalize it internally.

I think the lggo2 is gonna be too big.

So I just obtain my RoG Ally and the first game I downloaded was Hogwarts Legacy. I once had played this game on the Nintendo Switch. After a few minutes of gameplay I can heard a weird glitching noise(from the game). The game itself is fine, it’s just the sound. The gentleman I purchased it from told me to play it in Performance Mode and it still makes the sound. I’ve just shut down the RoG and am going to play it in turbo mode. Not sure if this will make any difference. Does anyone have any suggestions?

2 nights ago I went to bed and when I woke up my rog Xbox ally was really slow. I can’t open any steam games and my Xbox games only get 2 FPS like balatro for example. The on screen keyboard won’t automatically pop up and the zoom was changed. What do I do to fix this

Just had a baby and I’m often going to bed earlier than before. Wondering if anyone has tried to play these to see how they are in a hand held
