I don’t have a Steam deck, but from what I’ve seen and read online the Z1 Extreme processor in the Ally is more powerful than the Deck, but the Deck’s batter lasts longer. Personally, I’d say they’re both really good choices. I got the Ally because I was playing a lot of Destiny 2 on it.
It doesn‘t look sexy but it might have a more comfy, ergonomic grip to it compared to Switch (for sure) and maybe the Deck from the looks of it. I‘d like to hold one and find out.

why is it so filthy? looks like it was run through some stress testing.
Pretty ugly lookin tbh
I truly love my Ally. It’s even better with Bazzite. I’m so impressed by the power it has. I hope the Ally 2 has a much bigger battery.
How’s it compared to the deck
I don’t have a Steam deck, but from what I’ve seen and read online the Z1 Extreme processor in the Ally is more powerful than the Deck, but the Deck’s batter lasts longer. Personally, I’d say they’re both really good choices. I got the Ally because I was playing a lot of Destiny 2 on it.
Man that look ugly AF
also I wonder if an Xbox handheld friendly UI will be eventually rolling out to the ROG ally and Ally X as well once this releases
Oh look, the MS steamwreck.
Huh, it’s just the next Rog Ally with a Xbox sticker.
Everyone remember how janky and ugly the OG XBox was? The controller that was too big for anyone but Andre the Giant?
The Duke WILL RIDE AGAIN!
Wait, people think the Xbox controller is too big??? I find the ps controller too small and it cramps my hands!
The OG xbox controller was HUGE compared to the versions you might be aware of, look up the duke if you’re not aware.
I know haha, I have above average hands. I really like the steam controller with the same reason and remember the n64 controller fondly
That was the only controller that fit me comfortably. Ps controllers are tiny abd annoying
It doesn‘t look sexy but it might have a more comfy, ergonomic grip to it compared to Switch (for sure) and maybe the Deck from the looks of it. I‘d like to hold one and find out.
The deck feels comfy and ergonomic as fuck in my hands.
In mine it‘s alright but could be a lot better.
I have to admit though the deck doesn’t look like it should be ergonomic. It looks far larger than it actually is and it is pretty big.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it is too large for a lot of markets. It definitely seems like a product that was designed for westerners in mind.
