Get ready to reach a new level of handheld gaming as ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) Philippines officially launches the ROG Ally X. Designed for Windows 11 gaming, the latest iteration of the renowned ROG Ally features upgraded storage, RAM, and battery life. Alongside these enhancements, the ROG Ally X boasts a new and improved chassis for better ergonomics, cooling, and connectivity. Combined with Armoury Crate SE 1.5 which offers a customizable game library and a more unified interface, the ROG Ally X guarantees an epic gaming experience for all users.
The ROG Ally X features a redesigned chassis in a brand-new black colorway with slightly deeper handles and a more rounded shape for improved comfort without adding much thickness to the device. The buttons and sticks are arranged at a more ergonomic angle with a slant to the triggers that makes them easier to press. The macro buttons on the back are also smaller to reduce accidental presses while keeping them easily accessible. The joysticks have been upgraded with new, more durable modules rated for a 5-million-cycle lifespan featuring stiffer springs for a more familiar response curve for longtime controller gamers. The D-Pad has been similarly improved, offering more precise eight-direction input for fighting and retro games.
Users overwhelmingly requested more universal I/O, so the original XG Mobile port has been replaced with two USB-C ports on the ROG Ally X, one of which is Thunderbolt-compatible for wide interoperability with third-party docks and external GPUs. To accommodate the new battery, the ROG Ally X features new fans that are 23% smaller but utilize 50% thinner fan blades to improve airflow. Two new tunnels in the fan housing direct air up and out toward an additional third exhaust vent on the upper edge of the ROG Ally X. This new thermal solution provides 24% more air volume to be pushed through the device, cooling not only the internal components but also the touchscreen, which measures up to 6°C cooler for more comfortable long-term usage.
