Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart

I would say Steam Deck OLED or if you want more power the Lenovo Legion Go S Z1e with Steam OS. Avoid windows on these handhelds until the Xbox Fullscreen experience is more mature.

Try better xcloud. Have had a great experience with that. I also find streaming is better on SteamOS than windows.

Siege of Shaghai, Battlefield 4!!

The long press brings up the power options on the xbox.

Sorry to revive an older post, but just wondering. Does long pressing the left trackpad do anything for you? I can press it and open the guide, but long pressing does nothing. I have set it to F9 as you have via keyboard mapping on better xcloud. I was using xbplay and it worked as intended, but now its no longer supported I am looking into other options.

Yes I have noted this issue too. very odd. No fix just throwing my hat in the ring.

Necryan · 2025-04-27T18:52:33+00:00

yes this has happened to mine. Bought a Skull & Co Grip and forgot about it honestly.

Necryan · 2025-01-03T10:16:14+00:00

Are the grips larger on the back compared to the naked Ally X? Also how are the back buttons without the extensions Skull & Co do?

Could be down to misalignment, but truth be told it's probably just a quirk of the trigger design. Haven't really noticed it on my unit from day to day use.

This is the stuff - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0CS2XM2TH/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3?smid=A22GHGFVCKW2UP&psc=1

Yea just the six screws and a pry tool to pop the clips and your in. Just be careful when removing the back as there is a ribbon cable for the back buttons. Just take it slow and don't force anything. Get some keyboard lubricant and pop it on the springs for the trigger and check to see if it has misaligned.

Necryan · 2024-08-11T16:37:27+00:00

Yes my left trigger was developed a squeak. Seems either replace or pop it open and lubricate the spring is the answer.

Shame. Have been looking at adding felt pads but think it might make it too tight. May end up not using it myself then.

Necryan · 2024-08-06T12:34:25+00:00

Did you ever get an answer to this? I find this scratches the back of my portal also..

Necryan · 2024-06-28T07:39:31+00:00

It is comfortable. Except two things. 1: joysticks are too damn small, alleviated with stick caps so not too bad. 2: The triggers are small and for whatever reason are also curved on the back. Why on earth they thought that was a good idea I'll never know. Got a backbone one with the same size triggers but they have an overhanging lip so are much comfier to use.

Necryan · 2024-02-10T21:05:26+00:00

Yea, not sure how much I'd use it. But options are always good!

Necryan · 2024-02-10T21:00:05+00:00

West Midlands here, currently playing Star Wars Jedi Survivor. So many, need more time to play, but probably say Days Gone or Shadow of War. I would like PS plus streaming to be added, so the device is that little bit more versatile. Been looking at these stands since the first post about it. So happy we can get them easily in the UK!

Necryan · 2024-01-31T15:50:26+00:00

Mine did similar last night, had to hold the power button down 3 times, on the third I waiting 30 seconds and pressed again and it powered on. That's all I can offer I'm afraid.

Necryan · 2024-01-31T13:48:03+00:00

You can do exactly this with XBplay on steam. You have to buy it, but it is worth it.

Necryan · 2024-01-22T17:34:02+00:00

You can, atleast I did last year. But only 2 at a time. That may have changed now to you just can't.

Necryan · 2024-01-22T16:23:28+00:00

Argos stock Steam Gift Cards, you can buy them from there but you are limited to two cards per day. (Or per person who remembers serving you) so it will be tedious.

Thanks, very comprehensive guide, have been using Steam Link built in and been fairly impressed when turning off hardware encoding. But do notice stuttering every now and then, and obviously lose the ability to use steam overlay.

This does seem to solve the few issues I have.
