The Future of Handheld Gaming: What Asus Needs to Fix in the ROG Ally 2
As a gamer on-the-go, I’ve had the pleasure of getting my hands on the Asus ROG Ally, a powerful handheld PC that has revolutionized the way I play games. However, despite its impressive specs, the device is not without its flaws. With the ROG Ally 2 on the horizon, I’ve taken it upon myself to highlight the top 4 issues that Asus needs to address to take handheld gaming to the next level.
A Bigger and Better Screen
The current ROG Ally’s screen, while impressive, pales in comparison to its competitors. The Lenovo Legion Go and Valve Steam Deck boast higher resolutions and narrower bezels, making for a more immersive gaming experience. Asus needs to step up its game and provide a screen that can keep up with the competition.

Fixing the Unreliable SD Card Slot
One of the most significant problems plaguing the ROG Ally is its unreliable SD card slot. Corrupted or damaged SD cards have been a common issue, and it’s high time Asus addresses this problem. A reliable SD card slot is essential for gamers who rely on expandable storage.

The Need for a Second USB Type-C Port
One of the joys of PC gaming is the ability to expand your device’s capabilities with peripherals. However, the ROG Ally’s single USB Type-C port makes it challenging to take advantage of this flexibility. Adding a second port would make the device more versatile and convenient.

Better Ergonomics and Customization Options
While the ROG Ally’s ergonomics are generally well-designed, there’s room for improvement. Swapping out the regular analogue joysticks for hall-effect joysticks would make the device more customizable and durable. Additionally, offering different color options would be a nice touch.

Asus has a golden opportunity to address these issues and create a truly exceptional handheld gaming experience with the ROG Ally 2. By listening to the community and making these necessary changes, Asus can cement its position as a leader in the handheld gaming market.
