Gen 1 Legion Go + Gen 2 controllers? Is the ergonomics upgrade worth it?
Hey everyone,
I am currently considering entering the PC handheld market on a more modest budget and have in mind a particular setup. I really do want the Z1 Extreme's performance and the huge 8.8-inch screen found on the original Legion Go (as buying a new ROG or a Go S is far too costly), but I am having trouble with the standard controllers. The blocky and sharp design just doesn't seem very comfortable to hold when playing for long periods of time.
Now I'm thinking about a hybrid build:
Getting a second-hand original Legion Go
Buying separate Legion Go 2 controllers to use with it for a major upgrade in hand comfort and grip
Although the way the device fits into the rails isn't exactly the same and there is a small aesthetic mismatch, I still care much more about how it feels to hold since I mainly play in handheld and tabletop mode and intend to use it with a plain wallpaper and a simple tablet case.
My questions for you guys:
- Has anybody in this group actually attempted using Legion Go 2 controllers with a Gen 1 frame?
- To what extent is the comfort when holding the device better than that of the original, blocky stock controllers?
- Does the physical gap or mismatch cause annoyance when the game is actually being played, or can one get used to it?
I should be interested to know your experiences or what you think about this. Thank you in advance!
