Congratulations on purchasing your new ROG Ally!

Now that you have this impressive piece of technology in your hands, we're sure you're eager to dive into the exciting world of gaming. But before you begin, there are a few tips that will help you get the most out of your device and ensure an exceptional gaming experience.

Let's dive into it.

1. Keep Everything Updated

Before diving into the world of gaming, it's important to make sure every element of your ROG Ally is up to date. This ensures not only the latest features but also optimal stability and performance. Open the Armoury Crate app, go to the "Content" tab, and select "Update Center" to update everything listed. Additionally, in the MyASUS app, find the "Customer Support" section and select "Live Update" to ensure you get the latest essential updates.

2. Navigate Windows Your Way

The ROG Ally is incredibly versatile, and one of its most notable features is the ability to switch between the controller and the touchscreen on the Windows desktop. This allows you to customize your navigation experience to your preferences. You can move the cursor with the right stick, left- and right-click with the corresponding buttons, and more. Additionally, you can display the on-screen keyboard by tapping a text box or using the Command Center button.

3. Install and Organize your Games

Armoury Crate SE gives you a central place to view all your installed games. Start by opening the Xbox app, which comes with Windows, as the ROG Ally includes three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for free. This will give you access to a wide selection of games that you can stream or install on your device. Additionally, you can install other gaming platforms like Steam, Epic Games, and more, either from Armoury Crate or by downloading them from the official website. Organize your games in the Armoury Crate Game Library for quick and easy access.

4. Configure the Fingerprint Sensor

Take advantage of the convenience of the fingerprint sensor on your Ally's power button. Register your fingerprints in Windows Settings for a quick and hassle-free login. Simply place your finger on the power button to log in instantly and start playing without delay.

5. Customize and Remap Buttons

The ROG Ally gives you the ability to customize the button layout to your preferences. In the Armoury Crate app, go to the "Settings" tab and select "Configure" under "Control Mode" to remap buttons in Gamepad Mode or Desktop Mode. This allows you to tailor your controller to each game and optimize your experience.

6. Adjust Sensitivity and Vibration

In addition to remapping buttons, you can adjust the sensitivity of the thumbsticks and triggers, as well as the intensity of haptic feedback, from Armoury Crate's Control Mode settings. This will allow you to tailor your controller's response to your specific needs.

7. Configure your Operating Mode

ROG Ally offers three Operating Modes: Silent, Performance, and Turbo. These modes adjust power and fan speed to optimize performance and battery life. You can configure your preferred mode from Armoury Crate settings or create a custom Manual Operating Mode.

8. Optimize Your Game Settings

For the best gaming experience, adjust your game settings to suit your preferences. You can balance visual fidelity and performance by customizing your graphics settings.

With these tips, you'll be ready to get the most out of your ROG Ally and immerse yourself in exciting virtual adventures.

Get ready for hours of fun and action!
