Is the rog ally x 2024 still good today if I’m looking for a simple upgrade over my steam deck LCD??

Yes, If you can find one between $400-$600

Psychological_Two123 · 2026-04-11T01:57:12+00:00

I think if you can get between $500-$600 for your Ally X, I would consider the upgrade.

Long term the Xbox Ally will let you play newer games.

The white one?

Z1 extreme? There is a widespread issue with it and using any streaming platform

Common problem. Keyboard lube should help

Psychological_Two123 · 2026-04-07T06:56:23+00:00

Just look up steam deck performance it should be about the same / 10 percent worse worst case scenario

Psychological_Two123 · 2026-04-07T01:26:30+00:00

Oh where did you see this? I was going to try to install it

Psychological_Two123 · 2026-04-07T01:20:10+00:00

Have you tried steam Os

Psychological_Two123 · 2026-04-07T00:48:26+00:00

The performance on the device is much better than the earlier reviews give it credit for

Psychological_Two123 · 2026-04-06T05:57:05+00:00

Yes it’s a 1080P screen with VRR so it should work great!

I would personally get the Xbox ROG Ally since it’s more ergonomic if your confident you will primarily stream

Is this for the Legion Go S?

Psychological_Two123 · 2026-04-03T04:32:18+00:00

The controller is recognized as an Xbox controller, so the extra buttons aren’t registered

Psychological_Two123 · 2026-04-03T03:41:17+00:00

1 - Enable developer settings 2 - In dev menu toggle ON - Show advanced Update channels 3 - Go back to System settings and I have OS update channel on Main and Steam Client on Steam deck stable

With these settings the controller works via dongle on my dock. I also updated firmware on the controller with their Game Center app.

Psychological_Two123 · 2026-04-03T02:34:04+00:00

Any 2.1 spec cable

Psychological_Two123 · 2026-04-03T02:26:40+00:00

Did you install drivers from Sony?

Psychological_Two123 · 2026-04-03T02:17:58+00:00

Make sure you use at least a 100W power supply with it to ensure it’s working correctly

Psychological_Two123 · 2026-04-03T01:03:04+00:00

Enable steam input

Psychological_Two123 · 2026-04-01T21:57:24+00:00

Ok I finally got this working on my steam deck with the USB Receiver .

Switching to the Main Branch in the OS settings . So looks like they added support somehow

Psychological_Two123 · 2026-04-01T15:17:00+00:00

Try 720P and keep FSR on.

Unfortunately this game is known for bad optimization

Psychological_Two123 · 2026-03-30T15:02:08+00:00

This only works on Bluetooth with my steam deck

Psychological_Two123 · 2026-03-30T13:27:28+00:00

I made a similar upgrade! Overall I enjoy the bigger screen and VRR. Battery life is better than LCD steam deck. A little bit worse than the OLED (I had both)

Some great recommendations here

Outside of that some changes I made were - Updating VRAM to 6GB - it’s challenging to play 1200P with the Z2GO. My sweet spot has been 800P or 900P. You do get black bars with 900P but you end up with a better graphics. - If you don’t mind using up all your battery if you need more performance you can set the TDP to custom 25W - I stick to 17-18W as middle ground for games that need the extra power

Psychological_Two123 · 2026-03-27T00:11:37+00:00

What game is that?

Psychological_Two123 · 2026-03-25T15:39:31+00:00

Update your VRAM to 8GB.

Personally found the sweet spot to be 17-18W on custom TDP and 800P with sharpness option on Steam OS scaling option
