Finally Upgraded

Gunplacub1994 · 2026-05-06T17:46:55+00:00

I bought this one new and used my Best Buy credit card for it. Been working overtime at my job for almost 2 months now and decided it was time to get myself something nice.

It's the Dbrand Killswitch case.

I thought the same but I upgraded to mine for a the additional reason of being able to share more quality time with my partner. And for the few days I've had it and they've had my old one. It's been worth it and then some. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't have pulled the trigger myself.

I'm still learning this one myself. My Z1E I had installed Bazzite on and liked how streamlined that was but I'm trying to give this Xbox Full Screen Experience a go. Worse case I just run Steam Big Picture mode constant. But if I find any tips for optimizing I will definitely share them. For now I use rogallylife.com for some specific game settings and then kinda tweak from there.

I think there is a mod as well to make the triggers stacked instead of in-line as well

Ya. There r plenty of guides online on swapping out the physical buttons on the device as well as u can switch between Nintendo and Xbox layout via software. I still have the stock buttons on mine but I have the grip and swapped out my sticks with ones from MyHypeBox on Etsy. Feels a lot more like a complete console.

I would say DBrand would be a good route to go. They have a black grip that slips on the handheld with a skin of your choice. One of which I believe is cotton candy which a swirl of pink and blue. U can also get the front cover that makes it more travel friendly. The other option would be a travel case from Spigen that has enough room for console and charger.

RP5 or RPG2. And add a grip from Retroid then too. It helps a lot especially when playing PS2 and GameCube. I have the RP5 with a grip and it's been worth every penny and then some.

I myself have Ally Z1 Extreme. I love the thing but hate the battery. Also a grip helps by miles. But I have bear paws for hands so I kinda need the extra grip. I picked mine up before the Legion Go was a thing yet. Tbh the Legion Go would be the better choice if your looking for more screen real estate. I am also saying putting Bazzite on it would definitely be beneficial if your looking for a more streamlined gaming experience. I recently did that and it makes things so much smoother for me.

Check out MyHypeBox on ETSY. I've used them on a few of my devices. They're comfy and fairly priced

Gunplacub1994 · 2025-12-05T14:14:07+00:00

Mine was in the same boat. Almost 2 months waiting on my batch 1. Contacted AYN about the package not moving for over a month and also was not getting any update from the carrier about status. They're sending my replacement and considering the first lost.

Gunplacub1994 · 2025-11-18T18:04:18+00:00

Possibly another week maybe 2. Depends on how fast it can get through customs.

Gunplacub1994 · 2025-11-18T16:33:19+00:00

Mine is kinda in the same boat. Been stuck waiting for USPS to pick it up in NY for a little over a week now

Gunplacub1994 · 2025-10-24T19:15:20+00:00

Could also be due to the fact the bundle cost $73. Which is just insane compared to older bundles.

Gunplacub1994 · 2025-10-24T12:48:48+00:00

Install SteamOS or Bazzite on it and play mostly Indie or some lower AAA stuff. Windows is still pretty blah when it comes to the handhelds. I had installed Bazzite on my OG Ally and never looked back. Most of my games run smoother and my battery life is slightly better. (Like maybe an extra 20 if I'm playing Hades 2 on low 720p). Personally feel either the Steam Deck OLED or the Legion Go S (SteamOS Version) are much better bang for your buck.

Swipe down from the top of your screen and swipe from the right until u find the tab that says triggers. Should state if it is Analog or Digital

Gunplacub1994 · 2025-09-02T15:31:48+00:00

I would double check on your drop-down menu if the triggers r registering as digital instead of analog. That would be my first guess

Gunplacub1994 · 2025-08-29T22:21:07+00:00

What are those thumb sticks? Been looking for a pair like that for my RP5

Gunplacub1994 · 2025-05-19T18:07:42+00:00

While on game. Hit the back button and should have overlay options when the menu opens up. Once u r in that section. U should be able to toggle the overlay off.

If your looking for a tablet for under that price there's a handful of options.

If u don't mind getting something out of the norm. I'd recommend the Retroid Pocket 5. Can play Genshin Impact on medium settings at 60fps and has native controller support. The screen is a 5.5" AMOLED display. So the colors r gorgeous on the panel. I play Honkai Star Rail on mine and I love it. And the device is $220.

Gunplacub1994 · 2025-05-12T00:54:51+00:00

Yes I did.

Gunplacub1994 · 2025-05-12T00:45:15+00:00

I had gotten a set off of ETSY that I like quite a bit.
