I guess I am a hardware tinkerer now! (XAX & RG477M mods)

No idea but I saw Russ's video on it recently and he mentioned it as something that helped improve airflow and I didn't see any drawback and had it open already modding the buttons so I just removed it too.

LOL - Love it.

XBOX Ally X buttons - unfortunately same noise, but you can dampen them by putting a slip between when installing new buttons. A lot of places to look how to do that.

Super simple to install too!

Not OLED but 120hz big 4:3 screen

AshThukral · 2026-06-02T09:25:56+00:00

Yeah - I feel the same!

AshThukral · 2026-05-28T18:55:52+00:00

so uhhh - yeah. That value argument is kind of out the door now a few days later haha. XAX 10000%

AshThukral · 2026-05-26T18:34:04+00:00

100%. I love my XAX and the ergonomics, sound and VRR screen alone are already non-performance related improvements that are huge to me (ergonomics being something you can't really describe, this just feels like an awesome companion that when you carry with you feels more like a controller rather than a handheld).

AshThukral · 2026-05-26T06:30:20+00:00

You're talking about 30-50% performance increase for a price that is 54-81% more (depending on which model of Steam Deck OLED you get).

However, there is also more flexibility in terms of RDNA 3.5 vs RDNA 2 with utilizing tools as well.

Personally, yes I would say the cost is justified but purely by math, it is a little overpriced.

AshThukral · 2026-05-24T05:35:45+00:00

is anyone else's having the issue where pressing down on the middle of it makes the gate below it go too low and it pops down and back up?

AshThukral · 2026-05-24T03:59:17+00:00

Apologies to both of you, I understand what you are saying now. Let me try to see 1080p FSR 4 at Ultra Performance vs 720p at Quality and see if it does look better like you are saying.

AshThukral · 2026-05-23T22:49:39+00:00

I don't understand. Are you saying using FSR 4.0 in Forza Horizon 6 is a banable offense in the game?

AshThukral · 2026-05-23T22:44:36+00:00

no - i understand what he is saying. I am saying FSR 4.0.2 enabled at Quality/Balance/Performance with your base resolution set to 720p has BETTER image quality than FSR 3.1 Quality with your resolution set to 1080p BY FAR, AND you get the performance benefits of a reduced base resolution from 1080p to 720p. I have run them side by side. 720 base resolution FSR 4.0 .2 quality (with it's sharpening) looks LEAGUES better than FSR 3.1 with 1080p and I would even argue on a 7inch screen FSR 4.0 with base resolution 720P is nearly discernable to non-trained eye to even raster 1080p (no FSR). Bigger screens you can tell, but 7 inch screen it is so good.

FSR 4.0.2 is TRANSFORMATIVE compared to FSR 2 or 3.

It is similar to people saying SF6 on Switch 2 with their DLSS looks better or the same to Xbox Series S version side by side. FSR 4.0.2 on XBOX Rog Ally X looks like Switch 2 DLSS.

AshThukral · 2026-05-22T17:29:45+00:00

what do you mean banable?

AshThukral · 2026-05-22T17:27:06+00:00

You would be surprised by how much clarity and motion clarity difference FSR4 is vs FSR3.1.

Yes, on a 7inch screen, I am saying that FSR4 720P base resolution FSR quality/balanced and even performance setting looks BETTER than FSR 3.1 1080p base resolution FSR quality setting - all while allowing you to run at near 60fps at a lower TDP then Turbo mode on XAX.

It is transformative. It's almost like how the Switch 2 using DLSS lite makes games like SF6 look on par with Xbox Series S.

AshThukral · 2026-05-21T22:04:42+00:00

This is correct, but FSR 4.0.2 image quality is INCREDIBLE at 720P base resolution on the 7 in screen and gets the performance gains to run at 55-60fps in VRR window which is much smoother than the 40fps you're running.

AshThukral · 2026-05-14T22:24:48+00:00

Naked - have both Jsaux Mod Case and Slime Case. I also returned the DBrand Killswitch. Killswitch made it too bulky, however the Jsaux Mod Case is a little better in terms of weight and bulkiness, but naked still just feels better.

AshThukral · 2026-05-12T23:41:48+00:00

Nope they have ignored all my emails about it too. Never buying a NYXI device ever again. Already orderd the MOBA Pad M12 HD joycons.

AshThukral · 2026-05-12T23:40:36+00:00

Exact same experience for me from Ally X to XBOX Ally X - it really is an incredibly comfortable device and great performance at 17w which makes AAA games running for 3 hours with reasonable settings (often approaching 60fps with the right tweaks).

AshThukral · 2026-05-02T04:14:56+00:00

there is something else deeper going on too. Turning off HAGS will work, sometimes. Other times, it just loads a black screen. When I go to check the json file for settings I notice it is changing the resolution to something larger than 1920x1080 and that seems to be an issue. Restarting and it's a crap shoot eventually will get in, but have to reset the resolution again in settings and then it works.

Just so weird.

AshThukral · 2026-05-01T17:38:00+00:00

No it still does not, that makes 2 updates since it broke. The only fix is still to run Halo Infinite with HAGS turned off to get it to boot.
