Thinking of buying an XAX (from curry’s UK) just want some advice/opinions on product aftercare. I can get 3 years warranty for £60 which sounds worth it as I recon I’ll be playing the hell out of this thing. Do most people have some sort or warranty/insurance for this? I’ve noticed a couple of posts about people having issues..
I’m currently a University Student, so money can be tight. I’ve been working and saving up for this thing for months now. It’s like a reward, or like a “push present” 🤣 I already own a gaming pc, but I brought it back with me to Uni. So over the 4months summer break, I’ll be able to scratch my gaming itch on this beast. I’ve already looked into YouTube videos on what to do with this first. I was just wondering if there’s anything else I should know about it? When it comes to each specific games settings? Do you have any profiles for this? I tried to google it by “Detroit become human Xbox ally x settings” and go from there.
Recently we got the XBOX logo updated in XBOX mode but its still missing a proper boot up animation that shows the quality you would expect.
hi i bought my Xbox Ally X in December and since then Right trigger crackles sometimes
do you have some opinion about is it worth to send to Asus servis in europe or just live with that
im afraid that IF i will use some by example : WD-40 i will lose my warranty
what Would you do ?
thank you

Voila pour ceux qui voudrait que leur console soit plus silencieux
J'ai procédé dans un premier temps au changement des boutons et cela avait atténué légèrement le bruit mais cela ne me convenait toujours pas pour jouer en silence dans le lit 😂
Ensuite j'ai vu qu'il y avait un circuit imprimé avec des switch différents et j'ai acheté pour tester
Le verdict est sans appel et madame est aussi enchantée 🤣
I was playing last night, and the buttons were mapped correctly. I hadn’t changed any settings, but when I woke up this morning and played for a bit, I noticed that my buttons were mapped incorrectly.
Hi I'm a student on tight budget and want to get into pc gaming. I've come across deals for:
Xbox Ally Z2A at ±$600 (10000ZAR)[I'm from South Africa
used Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme at ±$500 (8000ZAR)
I'm looking at factors like the price obviously, Z1E being more powerful with more cores and threads (and hopefully fsr 4 in July), the fact that the device is old and used.
I just want to play free Steam and Epic games that I've been collecting for free over the years. I currently have a ps4 and a laptop with integrated graphics so I can't run them currently.
I want to play games like control, ghostwire, borderlands 2 and tiny Tina wonderland, dead island 2, callisto protocol, deathloop and kingdom come deliverance with decent settings and stable framerate well above 30fps. I would also like to dock if I can get my hands on one later.
Any recommendations? Much appreciated in advance.
I tried restarting with no luck
So a couple of months ago I got the base xbox ally, and its been treating me well. I dont have an actual pc yet and before I make a huge jump to that I'd like to use my Xbox Ally as a PC. The only problem is that my monitor on has 1 hdmi port and one displayport, with my Xbox taking up the HDMI. So I would like to see if anyone has purchased a dock with DP that works with the ally. I'm looking for something in the under under 50ish range or max 80. Idek if there is one but if there is please let me know. Thank you!
Xbox Controller paddles attached to the paddle adapter on the killswitch case in case you don’t want to mod the main body. Works surprisingly well and looks great!
Link to YesitsKira’s paddle adapter on my V1 post.
This time I angled it to fit the shape of the kill switch case and glued magnets to the M1/2 core buttons with the M1/2 removed.
I am not here to argue if the X is better or "worth it". A 5090 is better than my 7800XT, but I don't give a shit. My 7800XT costs a fraction of a 5090 and does everything I need it to do.
I want a handheld for the obvious reasons, but do I need to spend the extra cash to get the X? I mainly play FS25 and games like Split Fiction. Might get gamepass and try the new Forza Horizon?
"Playable" to me is a steady 30fps. Steam Link would be utilized a lot (if possible?) as I don't travel too often outside of a wifi spot. (This is also assuming the use of Steam Link doesn't have to be on the same network. I have no fucking idea. I'm brand new to the handheld world.)
I just love the feel of my Xbox controller and assume that translates. I didn't like my buddy's claw... Terrible ergonomics in my opinion.
it sounds like an old chair, need some help on how it could be fixed pls
Im finding the Asus supplier charger rather bulky and cumbersome. Im looking to replace with a 65w socket and a 100w lead, has anyone else done the same? Ive attached a photo of what im looking to order if anyone has done the same or advise against?
The new Lego Batman game is fantastic! It runs at 17 watts with between 40 and 60 FPS. It only dips below 40 FPS when driving the Batmobile, but never below 30 FPS. The gameplay is much improved and looks amazing! You can see my graphics settings in the screenshots. Of course, it runs much more consistently at 25 or 35 watts. I highly recommend it!😊🙌🏻
i had the white ally at launch but had to sell if a few months later and i missed it today i woke up its my birthday i opened a present and i got my Xbox ally back!!! im so happy any recommendations for acc or anything im buying Forza Horizon 6!!!!
Sou brasileira e viajarei para os EUA em julho, então pretendo comprar algumas coisinhas.
Inicialmente, gostaria de um laptop com SteamOS (acho mais fácil de usar), então a resposta óbvia seria o Deck, mas acho que não vou conseguir pegar um.
Então, a alternativa seria comprar um ROG Xbox Ally branco e instalar o SteamOS, que, aliás, funciona bem?
Gostaria de saber sua experiência com ele. Será que emuladores (especificamente Switch) funcionariam bem؟? Será que os plugins para o Deck funcionariam da mesma forma؟? E sobre a tela, ela é muito inferior a um OLED?
O que pode me dizer sobre isso? Você recomenda comprar um ROG?
Please send help I’m new to this thing
